Kansas City update

Okay, Lainy, so Flo DOES drive 80 mph when trying to get the car turned around and back into the garage during a hailstorm. *grins*

I'm having a blast, folks. I'm going to hate to leave tomorrow and fly back home. Flo and Lainy picked me up early Saturday morning and we headed off to try to find trouble enough to use our bail money.

But, as luck would have it, we ended up at Harrah's Casino for a marvelous brunch, and then some time spent at the slot machines. It was followed by creme brulee at one of the places Flo recommends for this most marvelous concoction.

Then it was back to Flo's house - and a most beautiful house it is, too! - to spend time in wonderful conversation with Flo and her husband, KSA, and playing with all the animals. Poor Lainy had gotten called home because her hubby was hurt in a work accident, so we had to watch her drive away; we were not happy about that at all, either!

I'm having a wonderful time catching up with "in person" visits with TW and D, seeing how much all their grandkids have grown, and of course, playing with their doggies, too.

Seems to be a pattern here, doesn't there? Always animals around - can't live without them!

I'll get to have TW to myself for a few hours today, while D heads off to spend some Mother's Day time with her mom...I'm sure envious of her being able to do so. I miss my Mom so very much. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you.

I should be back in Iowa mid-afternoon tomorrow. I hope my flights back are as good as my flights down. But, there's thunderstorms in the forecast, so we'll just have to see how bumpy a ride it will be!

Take care everyone...Next time I blog it will be from home.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hubby is fine now that he has pain pills and me home to take care of him.

I've made a new friend and falling in love was so cool. I had a blast with you Kate.

Have a safe flight home. Let us know when you get there.

*Love & hugs*
