Oh So Nice to be Home!

We had a really enjoyable visit with Paige on Saturday and Sunday in Kansas City.  Saturday we went to the World War I Memorial and Museum which is quite a fantastic museum - the type you expect in Washington DC.  We spent way too many hours there and still did not see it all - I understand why the price of the ticket includes 2 days.  Then we had a great lunch/dinner at a specialty burger place where I had a burger stuffed with blue cheese - oh so good.  We next went to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art which we did not have enough time to enjoy the fantastic collections of all types of art.  Paige wanted us to specifically see an item that comes from our family in Scotland.  Sunday we enjoyed Church with her. All the members of the Branch Presidency and their wives kept coming up to us to tell us how much they enjoyed and appreciated Paige and what a wonderful person she is.  We enjoyed her Sunday School class which had resemblances of the way Eileen teaches.  We then went to the Independence visitors center and then to the site of the new temple being build in Liberty.  We finished off the day with dinner at Paige's apartment.

We arrived home Monday afternoon to our freshly painted home and how nice it is.  When we bought this place Eileen left for California leaving me to paint.  When she got home she did not like the yellow I had selected and has wanted to change it ever since but she does not paint.  We finally decided to have it painted while we were gone this trip.  I liked the yellow though so we had quite a time agreeing on a new color.  She kept selecting colors I felt were too dark - after all we replaced the front door with a glass door as Eileen wanted more light!  We finally settled on a different yellow and we both agree that it is very nice and more mellow than the previous yellow.

This photo is probably closest to the actual yellow

This yellow looks more like the original
