I recently made a short 9 day trip home to Kansas for my older brother's wedding. After being gone for 16 months, there were several things I really appreciated about Kansas. These are listed in no particular order.
Wide-open spaces.
My 3 siblings, as well as all the rest of my family.
Silos...feedlots... steers.... the smell of manure.
My new sister-in-law! Snow... haybales... and hot-wire fences.
Grandpa.
My baby calves.
Friends... Beef... and Famous Dave's BBQ Sauces.
