Getting physical

Training sessions have been going really well these past few weeks. I
swim, lift, and run on my own (or with the masters swim team) during the

wish you were here
Katie it would have been great to have you with us yesterday. Jacob and I went to Plumb Hall and took the elevator to the 4th floor. We tried to look out the window but alas the south side was locked up and the north side was a view of the roof. Jacob was not too impressed with that. He did talk to a lady who was on the elevator when we got on. We couldn't make out what he was saying but, she was smiling and thought he was cute and he was. The rotunda has changed sadly. The balcony that you look down from was gone now it's just a big tiled circle.I was kind of afraid to walk across it. I thought it would have been neat for Jacob to see but now it's just a memory. I thought about your dance recitals and going for ice cream at PJ's or Dairy Queen both are gone now too. Time marches on. Well I think it would be cool if you got a job at ESU. Emporia on the othe hand would be dull compared to Wichita. I liked Wichita. Matthew was born there. I thought the hospital was great. Well stay safe and as your great grandpa use to say, " see you in the funny papers."

Progress can be good, but it can be sad too, but you can find new places that will be part of Jacob's memories and when he is a young man with kids of him own he will tell them about the places his great aunt Carol took him after school. Perhaps Beth and Peter will bring him to KC and take him to Crown Center for some creative adventures their.
Ok I'm not stupid, but the last word of my post should have been "there" not their, of course I might still be using poor grammar. I need to take one of Katie's classes. Can you give us some on line instruction Dr. Mason? Of course sometimes simple proof reading is good, but I am lazy, oh well.
I wish I could be with everyone in Emporia. I would like to ride the elevators. (I have had plenty of practice.) I think Katie would like teaching at ESU, but Wichita seems like a better town to put down roots. I agree with Fiddler, Jacob will remember these days spent with you, Carol, forever. The balcony in Plumb Hall was cool. It is sad to think it is gone. But the best is yet to be, they say. Just hanging out with my Fiddler Kin anywhere is EXCELLENT.
No more rotunda? I'd be afraid to walk across that tiled circle, too. I wonder why they closed it in. Did someone get hurt?
So far, I'm enjoying Wichita very much. It will be even better when Trent gets here. :-)
As far as editing goes, Margaret, we're not very harsh critics. We all make mistakes in our rush to get our ideas down on paper (or screen). We care more about WHAT you say, not HOW you say it -- though I love the way your voice always comes through in your writing.
And I agree with Honor -- hanging out with my Fiddler Kin (even online) is a blast. :-)
