KC MO

 

Family road trip today, heading for Missouri’s other major city. Mrs. C has family there and there are plenty of things for our favorite kid to do. Friday, it's about another three hours northwest to the part of rural Kansas where my wife grew up. Her family has a biannual get together of these descendants of the German emigre diaspora. Just bragging, but last time this Irishman won the German language quiz.

Since we recently took Ellie to New York, we are hoping for a teaching opportunity about the very different backgrounds of her grandparents and the varieties of the American experience.
