M is for... Missouri

Missouri is the 24th state

The state bird is the Bluebird

The state flower is the Hawthorn

The state capitol is Jefferson City

***********************************

As my profile says: " I am Missouri

born and bred." I grew up in

Independence and continued to

live and work there until I met

Ken. When we got engaged, I

moved over the state line to

Kansas. Oh no. :)

Missouri is located in the Midwest

and some people are still of the

belief that we get around by

horse and wagon. Oh contraire!

The Royals and Chiefs make

Kansas City home and the

Mavericks make Independence

home. (Baseball, Football and

Hockey.)

You can find The Country Club

Plaza, The Power and Light

District and Crown Center

in Kansas City, Missouri.

These are wonderful places

shop and dine.

Independence is home to

Harry S Truman, you can find

his home and Library there also,

as well as the Historic Independence

Square. Another place to shop and dine.

On the other side of the state is St.

Louis and the famous Arch.

Check it out.

I have met (through blogging) many
