2017 Year in Review Part 6 = Important Visit With Kevin

September 25, 2017

I and Jess were in Lawrence, KS visiting with Kevin who was recuperating from being stabbed in the stomach earlier in the month. The fellow who stabbed was apprehended 6 days after the stabbing. 

 Kevin and me being goofy. It is good for the healing process 😊
Kevin was doing well recovering. I was so happy to visit with him.

Each day Kevin get better and better from his injury. I am so glad about that. I love him lots. His sister Heather helped and still helps him a lot. I love her oodles.

2017 Year in Review Part 5 = Total Solar Eclipse

August 21, 2017

It was at our home in Excelsior Springs, MO with Jess and our good friends
Bruce and Debbie Liddel who came up from Lawrence, KS to see the total solar eclipse.
 It was way cool to view the eclipse through those official eclipse glasses.
 Jess, Debbie and Bruce all set up and viewing the eclipse. It had been cloudy just minutes before the eclipse began. The clouds cleared just in time. Then after the eclipse the clouds came back.
 This photo was taken when we had total solar eclipse. Notice how dark it was.
This is one of the awesome photos of the eclipse that Bruce captured.
I am so happy that Bruce and Debbie could come to our home for viewing the 
total solar eclipse.
