Spoke Too Soon!

It's July 4th and the fireworks were amazing last night! We made a run to Oklahoma City on Sunday as I received a call that my father went back to the hospital on Saturday. Had a tad bit of a set back on the recovery...fluid around his heart and kidney failure. The doctors have been working on him and things seem to be getting better a little bit at a time. For those of you who are reading, keep the prayers coming, cause they are certainly needed and appreciated.
The fireworks....well as we entered Kansas headed north up I-135 we started to notice more and more fire works as we drove closer to Wichita. I have never seen anything like it...the sky was lit up by sparkle after sparkle. Even at a distance, with the windows up...you could smell the fireworks as we went through the city.  As we drove north to Salina the show continued...Newton, Hesston, Mc Pherson and many farm houses in between. By the time we hit Salina...it had slowed a bit but there were still a few sporadic sightings of tensil in the sky. It was good to see something so pretty in the midst of everything else that has been happening.

Hope you all have a safe 4th of July!
