Kansas City Trip February Day One

Sean with the best smile he could muster.

Arrived last night around 7:30.  Sean got here around 10:00.  We got together at 6:00 am for coffee and breakfast at Starbuck's at Ward parkway.

Mom is feeling well and we had a nice visit last night. Today will bring lunch with Sean on the Plaza and then a family dinner tonight at Mom's.

We returned to Grand Court and visited with Mom for a couple of hours and then headed out for lunch on the Plaza.  As we were getting into the car, Mary called and said she and Bob had just finished up at the doctor's office and asked if we were free for lunch.  Perfect timing.  We met at Sahara on 51st between Oak and Brookside, one of Bob's favorite places to eat.  We visited as only one can with Aunt Mary:  a lot of laughter and stories.

We stopped at Trader Joe's on the way back so Sean could pick up some food for Mom, especially anything with a lot of fiber.  He carefully explained each item to her.  We all hope that she will like them enough to eat them regularly as two doctors and their staffs have repeatedly advised her to do.  After spending some time look at the photos on the Kodak frame Sean and Julie and Sam gave her, we got ready for Anola and Peter, Bob and Mary, and Louisa to come over for dinner and visiting.

We talked a visited for over two hours.  Everyone was very pleased to visit with Sean and hear about Julie and especially Sam.  Sean stopped in to reserve the guest apartment for the week of Mom's 100th birthday this summer only to learn that Julie had already reserved it.  She is always on top of things.
