grey (hair & skies)

This picture is pretty random.
I've had a few grey hairs since high school, but I noticed a few more recently.
Hope I can get a nice streak going in a couple of years.

Mid-week Kansas update.

And new blog format, as you've probably noticed.

It's been a nice calm week thus far.

SAT: The Kansas wedding reception went well. 

Saw some great friends and beloved past professors. 

One old wind ensemble professor even came all of the way from Oklahoma City with his wife.

We love him.

My parents also came down for the reception, so we went over to Dorothy's old house to pack up a couch and recliner for Milwaukee that she is lovingly passing down to us. 

Good thing we're getting so much hand-me-down furniture from our parents so we have something to sit on.

SUN: Opened Kansas gifts in the morning.

Mom and Dad returned home after we tarp down the furniture in the back of Dad's pickup.

It made it home nice and dry.

Sister Emily comes over to hang out with us.

It begins to rain a lot throughout southcentral Kansas (and continues throughout Monday, which results in some flooding and wet basements in the area, including Bethel College). 

We resort to the hot tub in the evening because it was actually cool enough to do so.

This kind of weather is not normal.

MON: We hang out with Emily and Dorothy most of the day. 

Lots of reading from my new cookbooks that were wedding gifts.

I'm also reading a book about Art Therapy research that one of my future professors wrote.

Not so much time in the pool because it's raining.

We help Dorothy set up and hang pictures in her new office at McPherson College. 

Go to Ten Thousand Villages to exchange some gifts.

Go to Verizon store to get Ben his first smartphone. 

Ben and I have Tacos Mexico supper with favorite friends Kezia and Laura. 

TUES: Mostly cloudy day again. 

No rain though. 

Whew.

Ben and I tag along with Dorothy as she goes to have coffee with her lady friends at Mojo's in Newton.

Chat with friends Clark and Sam as they're assisting to clean out a flooded basement at Bethel. 

Drink coffee and mess around on our iPhones because we're addicted. 

Back to McPherson where we wait for the sun to come out.

We did get a little pool time.

Ben made guacamole. 

I drank wine.

Watched Royals beat the Twins. 

WED: A little cloudy again, but hopefully the sun will be out soon.

GETTING A HAIRCUT TODAY!

Don't be too excited. 

I "think" it will just be a trim. 

Family is coming over to the house for supper tonight.
