Well, it's time for the two us to have another vacation for just us...
Once again, vacation has come sooner than we expected and we weren't mentally or physically ready for it. Since we know we need to be in Raleigh, North Carolina, for a conference in a week and a half, we are heading East. The only other plan we made was that we would head for Maryland and Delaware because we haven't yet been there in the camper van. Actually, neither of us have ever been to Delaware at all.
We did most of our packing on Saturday, although the food had to be packed on Sunday morning. Before leaving Great Bend, we went to Perkins for brunch with Ben. Saturday was his birthday (and Jason's!!) and Monday is Chris' birthday, so we went for a "birthday brunch."
We then headed out for Admire, Kansas! First stop was south of town at the farm of Joyce Theier and Ann Birney, also know as Ride into History. Joyce was the principal entertainment for the evening and did a performance as a woman who had settled in Kansas as a child and later served in the U. S. Army during the Civil War. There are several hundred cases of women serving in the War on both sides of the conflict, disguising themselves as men. The composite character that Joyce has created later returns to Kansas and secures a homestead.
The well-attended performance was both entertaining and informative and the audience seems very attentive. Later, we were served an outdoor meal that was very good! Ann gave me the recipe of the black bean/corn/avocado, etc. salad. It was great and should be a dish that I'll be taking to potlucks in the future!
We drove in to Admire after the festivities to spend the night with Kathy's mom, Dee Reid. We had a good visit and then headed to bed.
