Grandpa Quinn, the kids and I hit the town!

Grandpa Quinn came in town for a visit on June 9th. He and I took to the kids to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Bloch addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

We didn't time it this way, but we were fortunate enough to get there just as the cutting took place simultaneously at several entrances to the museum. We also lucked out and picked an entrance where hardly any people were lined up. In contrast, there appeared to be hundreds of people coming down the ramp from the main entrance when we got inside. Luck is good!

We also went down to Brush Creek on the Plaza and checked out some of the fountains, the annual Dragon Boat Race and had lunch at McDonalds.

It was a great time! Click on the vid below.

Helen Sherlock has passed

My grandmother passed away on June 12th.

She will be missed, but we take solace in knowing she is in heaven with her soulmate, Joe Sherlock.

I was entrusted with several photos of her to put together a video slide show in her honor. Here it is.
