Maker Faire Kansas City

July 8, 2013 by shelley

My son B.J. has told us about the Maker Faire near his home in Palo Alto for several years now, so this year my husband and I decided to visit Maker Faire Kansas City at Union Station.

Maker Faire: Kansas City celebrates things people create themselves — from new technology and electronic gizmos to urban farming and “slow-made” foods to homemade clothes, quilts and sculptures. This family-friendly event demonstrates what and how people are inventing, making and creating. It brings together Makers, Crafters, Inventors, Hackers, Scientists and Artists for a faire full of fun and inspiration.

Jen and family stop over in Kansas City on their move to Salt Lake City.

June 24, 2013 by shelley

Jen and the kids (and Izzy) flew to Kansas City and stayed a few days while Adam was driving (and moving their household) to Salt Lake City.  Adam stayed the weekend and then was on his way to Salt Lake City.  We enjoyed going for yogurt, Prairie Village Art Fair, playing and swimming in the pool.

Becca and Carl Visit Kansas City…Take Me Out to the Ballgame…KC Royals

June 21, 2013 by shelley

Becca and Carl came for a visit.  It was so wonderful to have them here with us.  Much of the visit was getting some necessary work done.  But we did do some fun things, one fun activity was a baseball game at Royals Stadium.  The Royals played Houston.  It was a perfect night to sit at Kauffman Stadium and watch the all-American game of baseball.  Becca and I shared a hotdog and a Custard’s blizzard.  Perfect evening with my husband Bob, my daughter Becca, her husband Carl and … the Royals even won!

Birthday!!

June 18, 2013 by shelley

I have in the past, tended to ignore my birthday.  But because of my “August event 2010” I know look at each new birthday in a different light.  I am glad to have them.  It is certainly better than the alternative.  My good, good friend Dr. Ann Romaker helped me celebrate this one.  We attended Time Out For Women here in Overland Park with a group of friends and she arranged for a group of friends to all go out to dinner and then have dessert at her house in celebration of my birthday.  Thank you Ann!!

We were entertained/enlightened by the likes of Hilary Weeks, Chris Williams, Merrilee Boyack, Michael Wilcox, Richie Norton, Laurel Christensen, Jenny Oaks Baker, Terryl & Fiona Givens and Sherrie Dew.

Then we enjoyed a delightful dinner with friends; Watkins, Ibas, Yanos, Speakmans and Thomas’ at the Grand Street Cafe in Kansas City, Missouri near the Plaza.
