Let's Have a Look-See

Ooo how we wait for a little ttle color.  For popcorn on the apricot tree.  For the Daffodils to greet you. For Lucy's tulips to come up...again.  For the grass to green up and the wind to stop blowing.

He was a President who cared very much about people and Foreign policy. Polar opposite to the Yahoo running out country now.  We went to Independence Missouri and had a couple of stops. My favorite was the tour of the Truman home. It was interesting and entertaining.  My favorite stop ever is sitting on Todd's deck and watching the steady stream of golfers enjoy the day.  In Kansas City Miss...
