A History Day

Monday dawned bright and sunny in Salina!  We met Becca (her daughter) for breakfast and coffee at Moka's and talked and talked and talked...............It was great to catch up with her again!!

Then it was out to her and her husband's business - BrightBuilt Autos!  They refinish and repair older trucks and cars in this huge building!  I snapped a couple pictures of Becca standing by some showcase autos!!  Gosh they are cool looking!!


We headed then to Abilene (KS of course!!) and went to the Dwight Eisenhower Museum - it was excellent!!!  There were rooms and rooms full of exhibits - a lot on World War II which was so interesting to read as you walked along and we really enjoyed seeing a lot of Mamie's outfits and hats!!  Also toured the house Dwight grew up in and that was interesting too!


It was a gorgeous day out and we sure enjoyed the outing!!  After ice cream we headed back to Jo's house - Becca and the kids came over for Happy Hour!

All the trees and plants are blooming already in Ks. and the streets are lined with trees like this!!

It was such a great day - with one more full day ahead!!
