We got to Matthew and Marina’s house close to 3:30 this afternoon and I haven’t seen Elise since. It’s 10:00 at night. I think she’s in bed, because I hear girlish shrieks from one of the bedrooms upstairs. Not sure how much sleep she’ll be gettin’ tonight.
Matthew and Marina have two kids — Amelia, age 8 and Will, age 4. The three have been getting along great. Already Bobby and I have taken showers and I am just finishing up my fourth load of laundry. Family is awesome.
Matthew and Marina are wonderful hosts. We were treated to made-in-front-of-our-eyes fresh salsa when we arrived and dinner was one of our favorite meals, grilled chicken and vegetables — tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant and peppers. We’re never leaving.
The biggest bonus of all is that we have been given a beautiful guest room in which to sleep. That works out really well, too, since I washed our sheets tonight but haven’t put them back on the beds in the trailer!
We’re here through the weekend. I promise to post some pictures tomorrow so that you can actually see what Kansas looks like.
