kI - o - wä´ PART II

So I'm in Kiowa right now. Spending the afternoon bouncing around southern Kansas, talking with strangers, taking pictures, and thinking about all the stuff I need to do this next week. I have three classes to attend, two family thanksgivings, four different places to stay, 24 hours of driving, a hunting expedition, lunch with a dear friend, tires to rotate, two new 1 1/2 cousins to hold and sisters to spend time with.

Speaking of spending time with sisters…. I just finished taking the first set of Christmas pictures for the Jeff Bahr Family. I understand that we have another set to take after supper and I suppose they will do another set some other time with a different photographer. Oh well, even if none of mine get sent for Christmas, they will be good cannon fodder for blackmail and scrapbooks. Even though the score is 3-0, as I was told by a dear elder, there is much more to Kiowa AC Church than the three strong young group. John and Connie Lehmen picked me up on I-70 and brought me down South. Mike, Deb, and Daniel Leman and Tucker Huber came out from Denver. Matt and Courtney and the Stewarts were there and the rest of the local church. We had a reading of the Memorandum on Saturday night. Kent and Darcy Kisling hosted myself and the Denverites for the evening-- lots of pool, ping-pong and throw-in-a-row. I took down Kent for the round-the-world game (Amish Ping-Pong). 8-ball was not my game for the evening.

Well, time for supper…
