Pat's first cousin Larry and his wife Annette came for a visit this weekend; I had met them once about 40 years ago. It was interesting and busy - Saturday morning the men played golf while Annette and I browsed the artsy stores - Nell Hill's and Garrity's - in Atchison. In the afternoon we drove to KC to the Country Club Plaza and browsed the stores there and then ate at McCormick and Schmick's. Sunday we drove to Independence and visited the Truman home and library - both very interesting. We had a late lunch in Independence and a late supper at home and thanks to Larry some excellent wine that he had brought with him. Pat's father and Larry's mother were siblings although they were not raised in the same household - it has always been an interesting family story. It was nice to be able to get to know them this weekend.

That would Independence, MO - just the other side of KC. Indpendence, KS would be a big drive for a day trip!
