and make Swedish salsa.
and have a GTO Museum if you like muscle cars. ( I think you need a
tattoo to get in)
And the tall grass prairie... ( or is that Oklahoma?) Well, Kansas is
pretty nice.

On the west side in Independence (or Liberty or Justice or something) there's
a newish museum of flight. I don't know the name. We were there when it was
still pretty rough, but that was COOL! They let the kids just get in planes
and goof around. Some of the stuff on the runway wasn't really cleaned up
yet.
Inside they had a temporary (I think) display on quilts based on airplanes,
from WWII. Some women's magazines had printed quilt-square templates with
planes, and there were examples of quilts from the period.
Bad and sad: They did NOT have the patterns for sale in the gift shop. They
hadn't thought of it. OH NO!!!
Other than that, I've had fun in Kansas too. There's a small anthropology
museum at the university in Lawrence that I just loved. There's good music
and food there, too.
<<And the tall grass prairie... >>
There's some in Kansas, because my friend Ted, who's an artist and
archeologist (way into pottery new and old), was involved in prairie
preservation.

My grandfather lived in Kansas City (dunno if it was
the Kansas or the Oklahoma side) as a child. His
mother hid him under the bed during gun fights in the
street......

No, but this will make it easier to do so in the future. <g>
We have been failing to attend weekly folk music get-togethers here, and if
we don't get back into that habit we will be contributing to their demise.
