  1. I lived in Kansas for 3 months on a project for work I almost moved there. I loved it and I have been to the Oz Museum!!! I have so many fond memories of my time there. I made one of my best friendships while there in 2005. In fact we just went to Hawai'i together last October.

    And I am using the egg cups just for decoration. They have been broken and fixed in areas so I knew they would just be for decoration or crafting. Thanks for visiting!!

    1. Hi Kim, thanks for visiting my Midwest page. I'm happy to hear that you have special memories of living here. I do think that the people here in the middle of the country are some of the nicest folks you will ever meet, so I am not surprised to hear that you made a lifelong friend. We sure are glad that we were able to raise and educate our children here.
