A Hidden Treasure


I just got back from visiting my dad in Kansas and I have to say, I just love it there! It is one of those places that no one seems to know about. I can't believe the untouched land, the gorgeous landscapes, the countryside, the dirt roads, the untapped resources of this place. The drive from here is totally breathtaking. The sunflowers in the pictures you are seeing are the size of dinnerplates! Unreal! Field after field of just gorgeous flowers....looks like a painting! I can't believe how beautiful it is and how much I am in awe EVERY time I go.
I had a great time with family. My visit was brief, but met all of my expectations and then some. I loved seeing everyone and meeting new people. I am excited to go back again...it felt so good to be back and I honestly could live there forever. Kansas is totally misunderstood, been the butt of jokes etc and I have to say I am glad...because if everyone knew how pretty it really was, it would be ruined by population and stripmalls. I guess I am a nature girl....uh oh, the hippie in me is coming out! Anyway, to everyone I saw on the trip, everyone at the wedding, to dad and Laura, to J.C. and Julie, to grandma and all of my aunts, uncles and cousins....I love you all and am so glad to have come home. It really felt amazing to be with you all again.
