Kansas City Spring

Well, when I lived in Kansas City/Olathe, I never did see the Easter Bunnies on the Plaza, but I will attach a link for your viewing. It's been a tradition for I don't know how long.  And with the baseball season about to begin, a few are dressed in Kansas City Royals attire!


I hear the spring weather is finally arriving and so are the flowers, spring birds, and tornadoes.

After 9 years....

Well, after nine years, tonite's one hour episode marks the end of How I Met Your Mother.

I've heard various theories about "Mother", including that we find out she has died.  Man, I hope that isn't how the show ends.

Time will tell......

Table Mountain


I recently had the pleasure to enjoy the visit of friends from America.  We took a trip to Capetown and were able to take the aerial cableway to the top of the mountain.  It was a sight to behold with spectacular view of Cape Town.
