This window caught my eye.
Just using white paper can make a nice window.
So pretty.
I notice window trimming,
'cauz i was a Window Trimmer

My sister came for our annual summer-time August visit.
Where did the time go…it flew faster than ever.
It's like it never happened.
She likes to shop, so we did.
We talked a lot, ate out and shopped till we dropped.
Had a style show, watched movies and ate popcorn.
There were so many other places I wish we had gone.
Maybe next time.
She collects Coca Cola items.
Happy Birthday!
Hey HANK.
Thanks for dropping my sister off.

Ate at Wamego's Friendship House.
Had Fancy Coffee!
Saw the latest at NEW YORK FASHION EXCHANGE.
Also stopped in at Karen's

Went to Burlington Coat Factory,
but didn't buy a coat.
Discovered CATO. Got a long skirt.

MOVIE TIME
Bought a Hot Dog and watched a good 2014 movie in Topeka.
It's been a while since I went to the movie theatre.
This movie was basically pretty clean.

That is ONE fun week!! We have a lot to offer in Kansas for sure, glad you had a great time. That store window is glorious and it would catch the eye by going past. You have added lots of links for me to research, I'm always looking for day trips from here in KC.

Looks like you had a good time and yes the windows are pretty with the white paper art.
Thank you for this post. It helped my homesickness. We grew up in Manhattan/Riley/Leonardville. If you ever get a chance you should visit The Prim and Proper Place in Manhattan. She is in the process of moving into 900 3rd street next to Sonic across from KFC in Manhattan. Her name is Cindy and she hopes to be open in October. I won't get to see it till next summer but maybe you could post some pics so I can feel like I am there. Tell her Lori Bailey sent you <3 Thanks again for your blog, I love it.
