Dorothy and Toto in the land of Oz


This past week-end a friend of mine and myself traveled to Lincoln, KS. That's 3 hours west of KC on I-70 and about 20 minutes north of 70 after we exited the interstate. We went because we and four other friends had hand made books in an art show there.
It is a wonderful show at the Lincoln Art Center. If anyone reading this is going to be traveling through Kansas in the next month or so, Google Lincoln Art Center, Lincoln, KS and get directions. There is Neon book, books hanging from the ceiling, books laid out, books that twist and turn and books of every color of the rainbow(Mine--he--he--he).
The week-end was full of laughter and tears. Two of the four friends surprised me and Sue by flying in from California for the show. We spent the week-end at a Victorian B&B. We even got a tour of the chicken coop Sunday morning before we left. Sue tried to pluck a tail feather from one of the roosters. He didn't like that much. In Columbia, MO we stopped to visit another friend who is battling cancer.
This photo was taken at a pee stop along the way on 70. The exit advertised a winery but it was closed. This little dog house was behind the winery and too good of a photo opt to pass up.(even if I did have to clench while pictures were snapped.) The next exit was a very nice rest area were relief was had.
From time to time I ' m sure a few other photos will pop up here.
"Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore."
Nope! We're home in Missouri and back at The Artfull Hand.
