Good Evening, these days are flying by, I am having a tough time keeping up. I realized that I did not post yesterday. So here we are. Right before school started, Mr. Ken took a Friday and Monday off . On that Friday we took a day trip to Wichita, which is south of where we live.
There are a lot of different museums in Wichita, but the one we went to was The Mid-America All-Indian Museum. This Totem Pole is directly outside of the museum.
The museum has a library for guests to use while visiting. Very extensive collection.
Never thought much about this, found it very interesting.
This is Blackbear Bosin.
A Comanche-Kiowa sculptor and painter. He passed away in 1980 in Wichita.
Beautiful artifacts to look at.
This is one set of jewelry on display. Gorgeous!
This is The Gallery of Nations. Each flag hanging represents an Indian nation.
Many photos on display showing adults and children doing a variety of dances at Pow Wows.
Ladies.
Gentleman. All of the photos were beautiful. each one captured perfectly the dance.
This is The Keeper of the Plains Statue. It is located in a beautiful park outside of the museum. It is a 44 ft Cor-Ten steel sculpture created by Blackbear Bosin.
It was created in 1974 and placed at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas Rivers. At night the Ring of Fire is lit, lighting up the statue and the beautiful park it is guarding.
After our visit to the museum, we drove through downtown. I had heard about a Chalk Park. During weekday lunch time they have food trucks, seating and just a nice area to hang out. The butterfly was above the chalk wall. It is encouraged that messages left are "family friendly."
Someone had a birthday while he was on vacation. (Mr. Ken)
One lone rose popped out for round two of blooming. The rest were eaten or the heat got them. We had storms last night and this morning. Plus fog on the drive to school. School is keeping me sooo busy to the point that I went to bed at 9 p.m. last night, unheard of in our house but I could not keep my eyes open. We have another day trip planned for Saturday but I can't day much because "someone " might read the blog and find out where we are going. More later. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Good evening! Your blog writer is suffering from being hot, tired and mentally exhausted. Our building is experiencing air conditioner problems which they have been working on week. It has been in the upper 80's outside and couple that with two classrooms with temps in the upper 70's makes for a rough time at school. My post for today will be posted on another Wednesday--the pic above is a teaser for that post. Hope everyone is doing well. See you soon! ~Keep on Dreaming~
Happy Sunday to Everyone! It is still hot here so for today I have a refreshing recipe for you so pull up a chair and relax. Pineapple Lemonade 1 C Countrytime Lemonade 3 C Cold water 1 Can of chilled Pineapple Juice (46 oz.) 2 Cans of Sprite Mix all ingredients and add lemon slices and ice. Enjoy! PS: For an "Adult " version you can add your fave beverage additions. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Good Evening friends! Hope all is well with you. Today's post is brief. Can you guess where I went today? Yep, I heard you...that's right friends, it was time to get up early and go Back to School! It was good to see everyone, we had meetings most of the day but time to catch up too. My kids will arrive on the doorstep bright and early Friday for 1/2 a day. Yes, it does not make sense but no one asked me. :)
Next week we will catch up more! ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hi! Hope you are having a GREAT Thursday. This is me above --calm, cool and quiet.
This has been me for the last few days. A whirling top spinning around here 90 to nothing. Summer break is almost over and I have so much left I would like to get accomplished. Yesterday I gave myself permission to STOP. I realized that if I kept going at the pace I was going, I would go back to school unhappy and frustrated. So I will do what I can and the rest will still be there to work on another day. I do have a couple of things that are "must dos", I'll focus on them and finish my summer break playing. This school year promises to be vastly different with new staff in our program (6) and a very different schedule for the WHOLE building which we will be participating in. Prayers would be appreciated for a smooth start to this new year. Thanks!! I will be MIA for a few days--enjoying the last of my break and some some "young man" in our house has a birthday coming up next Monday. Take care, stay cool and I will see you back here soon. I will try to peek in and see what is up with you though. ~Keep on Dreaming~
