Thursday, July 23

Another wonderful day in Kansas City -- absolutely perfect! Bright blue skies, sunny, hot but not too hot because of a nice breeze.

Bethie had cereal, banana and yogurt for breakfast (with Simply Red in the background, after much deliberation) and then she headed outside to work on a new drawing. It was such a pretty day, she changed into the swimming suit with a sarong. She worked outside for a while, and then we had our daily video conference with Scott!

It's such fun to talk on the video! Beth always laughs and Scott laughs and we're all laughing at something silly. And she loves to see Scott & Jeff's little kitten.



After the video call, it was back outside for Beth -- she went swimming.

She practiced all her swimming strokes -- I saw freestyle, backstroke, sidestroke and breaststroke. It was good that she got that exercise, because we ran out of time to go to Curves!

In the afternoon, Brian and Pam came over with baby Simon. They swam in the pool while Nancy held Simon. He was comfy, sleeping and cooing.

Then a quick dinner -- grilled chicken tacos, with roasted onions and peppers and guacamole sauce, and rice. It was a quick dinner, because we immediately headed off to the library for a nice chamber music concert.

The concert was in two acts: first the strings, and then the winds. It was a nice event.

Afterward, on the way home, we stopped for a quick treat at Foo's, our local frozen custard joint. We were lucky because the line was only to the door! This place is so popular you often have to stand in line just to get in! Beth chose a mint-oreo cookie mixture, which, I have to say, was delicious. She was very quiet and ate it all very quickly, not wasting a drop!

After all that, time to turn in. Tomorrow is another busy day, but we will try to work in time for Beth to write another email to Scott. Talk with you soon!
