19th day -- Victorian vignette

This was a very good day, getting back to Buhler after teaching here for two years, moving to Colorado Springs, and coming back to visit. Central Kansas is a nice place to be.

Cousin Pauline and I started with the highlight of visiting my parents in the retirement home and finding them well and glad to see us. It was wonderful to talk with my dad again.

From there it was shopping for antiques, enjoying a fabulous lunch at Brooks in Hutch, hitting the fresh food market just down the street, rushing back to fix a salad for supper, eating at my brother’s house, and finishing the night by attending the BHS school play which featured the acting, singing, and dancing talents of my nephew Dane.

So what is the connection with the photograph of the day? The photo reflects some of my favorite things all grouped together – glass candle holders, pretty plates, and a tea set, (all belonging to my cousin) -- and this day was a grouping of some of my favorite people and favorite activities, including having a cup of hot chai tea latte’. This entire trip east has been a vignette of sorts, a composition of what I enjoy most.
