We had a good visit to Abilene, Kansas, today. The weather was gorgeous again. The Eisenhower Center is really interesting. His boyhood home is in it's original location and the rest of the center takes up the acreage around it. There is a meditation chapel, where Ike, Mamie, and their young son are buried. The library is there, of course, and a really good museum. I'll post some pictures soon.
After our visit there, we went to Kuntz's, the local drive-in, then took our burgers to Eisenhower park. We ate our lunch on a picnic table, then let Grace play for awhile. There was a little boy there that she was having fun with, until he followed her down the slide a little too close. She didn't want to play with him after that!
Grace's open house went well at school. I was more than a little disappointed to find out that no kids from her class last year are signed up for her class this year. Most of them are going to the afternoon class Mrs. Peggy offers, and the other one is going to the two day a week. Grace will be going three days a week for almost three hours. The real kicker is that there are only two other kids signed up for Grace's class!!! Mrs. Peggy said we'll go September with the current situation, hoping there will be more kids who enroll in Grace's class. If that doesn't happen, then she'll look at combining the two morning classes. What was something I was really looking forward to has become a stressor for me. I am trying to remain calm and not worry!
