On the Home Stretch

June 16 we spent the morning at IKEA in Denver getting ideas for our house project awaiting us in Pratt, KS. We came out with a couple ceiling lights and whimsy table decor, (plus an appreciation for handcrafted wood furniture). 

Back on the open road, we got into muchas wind at the Colorado/Kansas line. The fields were blowing tremendous dust across interstate 70. Soon it turned to thunder lightning raining. 

very limited visibility

The promise after the storm...

 Another sunset on the road...beauty after the rain...





We spent the night in Quinter, KS at Walt & Carolyn Emig's. He left for work in the wee hours of the morning so we missed him at the breakfast table Monday. 


Carolyn's yummy brunch

Shannon was able to buzz around some with ole Virginia buddy, Big Nate. Caroline & Cora delighted in the playhouse, pool, & basement games.





Anxious to get home, we left around noon and drove down our long lane around 3 pm. Home sweet home and back to work!!!
