Bottom's Up


The West Bottoms antique markets in Kansas City started their April sale today.  I made a quick trip over to shop instead of doing my paperwork.  Now doesn't that sound like more fun?













On my way home tomorrow to cheer on my home team.  Go Shocks.  

 Faron and Sam will stay behind for another day to finish up the classes.  There's no place like home with or without the red shoes.




More Art


 Faron Spent the day with Joanne Sharpe.








While I worked with Jen Crossley.  I don't which I liked better, learning the new skills or listening to her language.  It wasn't just the accent (Australian) but more her little slangs.  







I got an extra treat at these classes that I haven't had a chance to experience before.  I took classes along side of friends from back home.  I'm usually hurrying around teaching them at O'Leary's, but this time we were at the tables together.  Thanks for the good times Karen and Andi.





A sleepy little town

We ventured out this evening and found their main street.  Excelsior Springs, MO - USA

Dinner has been great at the Ventana Cafe.







The shops on Broadway.  Hope I can find a few minutes to explore.


How much is that doggie in the window?



Today I'm taking a break from classes and heading to the Bottom's Up Market in KC. 
 I'll get to spend the day with my sister Susan.  YEA!

Art & Soul KC

Faron and I traveled to Excelsior Springs, MO yesterday (just northeast of Kansas City).  We arrived in the dark at this 100 year old hotel, "the Elms".  I just had to ask.  "Is it haunted?"  Of course the answer was yes but they are friendly.  We will be exploring.
