Hello, again. We have some catching up to do.
Saturday, October 5 we left Boise City, OK. and headed into Kansas. We took a drive though Dodge City which still has one street that looks like the old West.
We arrived at my brother and sister-in-law's in the mid-afternoon. We had never visited their home in Hutchinson, Kansas before. Tom and Lois gave us a tour of 'Hutch' as they took me to the market to pick up the saltine seasonings I have promised many of you. After evening Mass, we enjoyed a great dinner with them at Jillian's Italian Grille.
Sunday, October 6, Tom and Jim played golf in the morning. Lois and I had a relaxing morning crafting, IPading, taking a walk in the neighborhood, etc. It was great just to spend relaxing time with Lois. It was their daughter, Courtney's, birthday, so Courtney and her family (husband, Brian, and children, Nate, Sean, Caeli and Anthony) joined us for a celebratory dinner. It was so great to catch up with family we don't see very often.
Today, Monday, we ended our all-too-short visit in Hutchinson and headed across Kansas and in to Missouri. Tonight we are staying in Sullivan, MO and plan to tour St. Louis tomorrow. Our plans to ride to the top of the Arch are canceled since it is under the National Parks System and is closed due to the government shutdown :-( But Lois and Courtney have given us ideas for other places to visit in St. Louis.
