What? No George Strait? He is my personal favorite for traveling to Texas. My 40th class reunion is this year. Even though it will be held five miles away, I had decided to skip it. After reading this piece, maybe I'll go. BJ

Enjoyed your visit all over again. Thanks for letting us share your fun time. Sorry there is so much distance between Kansas & your lovely Seadrift. Keep writing so we are in touch more. Gail

We were out of state for the first ten years of our marriage, so going home for the holidays, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, was always such a treat. Especially when seeing how things had change from the last trip to Kansas.

I feel like a homing pigeon as theres always been such a strong pull to come back home & I find it hard to live anywhere else.

Just think if you had pursued that pro bowling career! You should write a novel based on what your "alternative history" might have been!

I do not know about going home as I live only 7 miles from my birth farm and was only away long enough to get a nursing education and start a career; never had the privilege of trying to go home but enjoyed your adventures in doing so just visit.

I live on a farm, half way between Emporia and Topeka so shop there several times a year.
