m.a.s.s. b.f.f.

I have the most wonderful friend. We became closer during the recent trip to Pearlington. She is the most kindred spirit out there. When I grow up I want to be just like her. Yesterday, I was having a horrific day. She saw me and immediately came to give me a hug. (she is a big hugger.) I think she knew I needed it before I could speak the words. It was possibly the best hug I had received in a long time. I wanted her to know how much that meant to me. I hope everyone has someone to give them a hug like that, if not call me and I will try to get one to you.

part 3

Here are the rest of the pictures. I can't quite figure out how to get more on a post.


More from the Davis Memorial in Hiawatha, KS

The seeds that started this tree were taken to the moon and back literally. An astronaut took them with him on Apollo 14. At the International Forest of Friendship in Atchinson, KS. (also named for the only one day President)


An earthwork of Amelia Earheart. She was born in Atchinson, KS

The bank where the first daylight bank robbery took place. Jesse James and his gang took credit for it. Liberty, MO

roadtrip part 2

So here are the rest of the roadtrip images. I know you have been on the edge of your seat waiting. I am so cruel making you wait like that.

A monument to the pig that inspired the piggy bank. White Cloud, KS

Lewis and Clark marker. Supposedly there is a rock with their names carved into it, where they slept. We did not see such a rock.

View of 4 states. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.

House of Junk. This is a monument to a mom. I think it looks like a lot of junk. Hiawatha, KS

Davis Memorial. This is a memorial a man built for his wife when she died before him. He did it back during the depression so his in-laws would not get his money when he died. It was probably the most impressive thing we saw.
