Off to see the Wizard

I'm back on the blogging train! Sorry for the delay -- it's not like I haven't had anything to write about! Since I last logged on, it appears that I just finished working at the Olympics. A pretty good gig, I'd have to say! From there I ventured off to visit my friends Mark and Kendra in Yoder Kansas in April -- and it was amazing! Opened my world to a whole new place! Life on the farm -- oh, sweet life on the farm! Planting strawberries, picking up baby chicks, bottle feeding a baby lamb...pulling a calf! So sweet! It was so sweet, in fact, that I went home for 4 weeks and am back here in Kansas!

I arrived last night to this familiar place -- I don't know what it is but it just makes me happy! Today at the farm was their Spring party! A time where the King family opens up the farm to their customers and gives them tours and allows them to hang out at the farm for the day! Picnic blankets and lawn chairs, tractor tours, home-made pizza for lunch...rock climbing in the silo. You know, good old fashioned fun!

Why do I come back to Kansas, you might ask...and hopefully not as intensely as the customs agent yesterday (!) -- well, I have some great friends here who are hosting me in the sewing room of their adorable B&B while I help out wherever I can on the farm! Building relationships is also fun too!!
Stay tuned to new stories...I promise to write!
