Exploring Kansas

Monday I worked from the hotel during the day - it's right across the parking lot from the church sanctuary. 

In the afternoon I went out to explore the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in Overland Park. So beautiful! I walked several trails and ended up walking a couple of miles. 

 

And then I stopped by the Museum at Prairiefire - this is very close by the church and is a small natural history museum. The class panels on the front and back of the museum are simply amazing when lit by the sunlight. 

And for dinner I tried a new to me place - Hawaiian Brothers Island Grill - it was just like eating a lunch plate special back in Honolulu AND I got a dole whip too! 

Random Slices of Life

No track meet on Saturday so it was back to yoga and a labyrinth walk for me. 

Caspian got to spend a little time outside chillin' in the yard. 

On Sunday morning early I flew out to Kansas. I'm attending a clergywomen conference there this week - but came out early to spend time with my Uncle Roger and Aunt Mona. The yard of their house is so pretty and I had fun playing with their cat Mitch. 

After some lunch, we went to the Sunday night service at their church. 

 

Nature Walk

Walking the dogs this morning I noticed the neighborhood cranes had babies!!! 

They are so fuzzy and adorable!!!

 

Around Town

Saturday I got in my usual yoga practice and a trip to the labyrinth. 

Sunday morning I was off to Pine Island early to preach. The sky was so pretty on the way. 

Monday was lunch with some of our large church pastors in the district. 

Tice shared withe me some pictures of the new van wrapping that they got installed with some grant money from the district!

Wednesday I spent at Trinity UMC in Bradenton as my mobile office. 

And Thursday my mobile office was at Grace UMC Venice. 

I ended the day with a sunset walk around the neighborhood.
