back from South Carolina

Our elder daughter spent the weekend helping her cousin in South Carolina. My sister-in-law's death left a lot of work for the cousins. I'm hoping that almost everything was done to make it ready to sell. Our niece lives in Florida. Her brother lives in Michigan ... so no one  lived nearby.

Of course that meant some tasks for Bob and myself. He took our daughter to the airport after dropping off the dogs for boarding.... and then  we went back yesterday to take the dogs home ( boy were they glad to see us ). They enjoyed some time out in the backyard before our return trip to the airport.

Kansas City has built a new huge airport and it just opened days ago!! If you are picking someone up... you wait in the cellphone lots for person to text you and say he is ready.  Then you go to the arrival lanes with the person's location marker ( hers was 1J ). No parking there... no sitting and waiting etc. Or you get a ticket! Suitcase popped into the car... our daughter next and off we went!!

It all worked... and Kansas City-ans will learn !

Our PBS station (KCPT) filmed a "documentary" on all the artwork in the new airport which we watched. Artists applied to have their work chosen and the amount and diversity is amazing!! The artwork is hanging everywhere from walls to ceilings !! And the possible problems artists had to adjust to was amazing  ... how things could be hung... how to protect from lots of light...from being touched... and so on.  The video included some artists talking about their work.

People fly into Kansas City will find things very different!!
