Dillard's Before and After

I went to Dillard's for a make-over. Oh, yes. I bought it all and plan to go back for more.

Alaskan Cruise

Nine family and friends cruised to Alaska May 10 - 20. We stayed in Seattle the night before Sail Away to visit briefly with my niece Marcee. Several travelers were sick at various times during the cruise but by the time we reached Hubbard Glacier, all  had recovered enough to enjoy the beauty of Alaska.

In the photos above are my grandsons Andrew and Adam at the hotel in Seattle, on the float plane excursion to Misty Fjords and dressed for dinner on board the Celebrity Infinity. Background photos were taken at Hubbard Glacier, the Canadian/US border and Icy Strait Point (Indian motif mural).

Check out Adam's photos on the Alaska blog I made for him.

Theater in Kansas City

Dorothy, Barney and I saw "West Side Story" at the Music Hall in Kansas City Friday. Although the actors' microphones were so loud that some dialogue and lyrics were distorted beyond understanding, the dancing was exciting and the sets interesting. Before the play, we ate at Lilly's, the Marriott Hotel restaurant. After the play, Dot and I got drenched in a downpour running to get in the car when Barney picked us up.

Again!!

An overnight dusting of snow was almost melted off by afternoon but was still discouraging to wake up to after several days of 70 - 80 degree weather.

Kansas Visit

I was in Kansas today for the 55th wedding anniversary of Kelly's in-laws. Around 80 people attended, nearly all related to my grandchildren.
