In November, we traveled to Kansas and enjoyed the hospitality of friends, Glenn and Jean Vaughn.
Gordon and Glenn were in the Navy together. Glenn is a rancher and they have a wonderful place.
We saw a lot of interesting things. The Vaughns live near Ft. Smith which is south of Kansas City, near the Missouri border.
We did not realize that there was an Amish community nearby.
There is also a National Cemetery in Ft. Scott. Very impressive especially since the trees were changing colors and I caught the light right.
We had a wonderful time. We even went to watch marbles being made at a Marble Factory. Yes, the little round ones. The kind you "shoot" between your fingers and your thumb. It is a wonderful country we live in. It is so diverse. The geography is so interesting. The cultures are so varied. Awesome!
