I was lucky enough to visit the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art twice. During this pandemic the Museum had a visit from some penguins from the Kansan City Zoo. As you walk up to the Museum, you know it is going to be a fun experience. There is a giant sculpture of a badminton birdie on the lawn. The first time I went, it was coming home from our cross country trip to Seattle. Glen wanted to go to the Truman Library, and to fit everything in, we went our own ways that day. It ended up we stayed in the area a few days. After each day, we told each other our experiences and actually looked at real estate one day. We went to see a beautiful Victorian home in Independence, Missouri. It had a beautiful parlor and grand staircase as we walked in. When we got to the kitchen it made my heart go pitter patter. It was tiled in beautiful toile blue and white tiles. I gave Glen the look, and he knew what that meant. As we talked about it, we listed it as one of the top three places to move to. It was behind Seattle and St. Augustine, Florida.
The second time I visited was when I was hired for Paper Source. They were running behind in inspections for the new store in Princeton. So, they sent me to Kansas City to train. for a week. I was able to fit in a visit to the Museum when I arrived. The museum was so good I couldn't wait to walk through again. Glen was drawn to the area for the history. I was drawn to the area because of Hallmark. I did visit their headquarters, while we were there, too. The only drawback to the area was the ocean and family were too far away. Lots of culture, good food, sports and the people were really nice. I hope you visit the
museum virtually or at least watch the video of the penguins!

In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves... self-discipline with all of them came first.
