Kansas is 155 years old. It is Kansas Day, the day of days.
Kansas Day has become sort of "a thing" in my life. Not just because I remember all the fun things we used to do in elementary school for Kansas Day -- Kansas Day songs, making butter, dressing up as pioneers, vising the museum, putting on plays, etc. but because sharing the Kansas Day love with college students has sort of turned into a tradition.
Of course it really started here; then of course last year there was this:
This year the tradition has moved to a new generations of students...from Missouri....who kindly left what I can only assume are Missouri turtles (they all seem very unhappy) all over my door. Although, I have to say I really appreciate the dedication our Missouri friends take to learn more about our great state!
I also received a great card and even better phone call from the original Missourian ringleader of this whole thing.
And lastly some pretty sweet Kansas gifts from a good friend.
on top of that...61 and sunny in January. A pretty great Kansas Day!
