Kansas City

My day has been a busy one.

It began with packing up in Wichita and detouring on our way out of town to visit my 97 year old grandma, Zelma.
I love her so much!
Grandma loves baseball and so do I. When I was very young I would spend the night with her and grandpa and they would take me to watch the Wichita Aero's Minor League Baseball games.
That is where I first learned how to keep stats, and learned about baseball strategy!

I sure hope today wasn't the last time I get to see her and hear her wonderful stories.

Every time I visit her I try to ask a different question,
or at least ask the same question in a different way.
By doing so I learn more about this amazing woman each time I sit at her side and listen.
She is sharp as a tack, but her hearing isn't quite as good as it was 5 months ago.
And she seems a bit more tired, perhaps even weak;
physically, not mentally.

I have tried to capture as much of her life story as I can...
While I can.
I hope to see her again soon.
As I said before...
I love her so!

We made our way to Kansas City by mid afternoon.
We unloaded the car, then packed boxes, cleaned cupboards,
(am I the only one who uses the word cupboards any more?)
vacuumed, cleaned some carpets, cleaned the oven & stove top, did laundry, made dinner,
and hauled more boxes to the garage.
All in all a very busy, productive day in Kansas City.
Tomorrow will be even more so,
I hope!
