kansas is a magical place...

My daughter said that.  We were driving up from Winfield to Wichita and outside of Belle Plaine passed a field of sunflowers that were being crop dusted by a bight yellow biplane.  The plane matched the flowers!  She watched out the car window and stated that "Kansas is a magical place all by itself."  I love that!  It is wonderful to experience the place I grew up through her fresh eyes.

After leaving Wichita in 1987, I have viewed my birthplace as a place to escape.  It was a good place to grow up, but it didn't fit who I had become.  It will be interesting to find out how to fit back into this town.
