Pizza

Our convection oven in Sophie may be small, but sizing a pizza to fit two of them on that small oven rack add adding a salad makes for a excellent meal. It is one of the reasons we were able to downsize from a 38 foot three slide out diesel pusher to a 24 foot no slide out RV. The right floorplan and the right mindset made it easy. An example is the fact we have a silicone baking pan, a baking sheet and a pizza pan sized for the smaller size of the oven. Additionally we only have a eight inch skillet and a 2 quart pan for cookware. We don’t concern ourselves with what we can’t cook, we enjoy what we can cook.

Coronado Museum – Liberal, Kansas

Typical rural county museum displays.

This was Shoshoni county before the settlers came.

How different Liberal is today compared to what it was in 1881. It was when the railroad meant life or death to towns.

Many memories of things in my life in this photo.

Oh, to be a kid again and walk the creeks that were on the three sides of the property the house I grew up in were bordered by. Today because of strip mining the coal in the adjacent properties, they are all dry, so no erosion, no artifacts appearing.

Dorothy’s House – Liberal, Kansas

Dorothy and Toto. The Wizard of Oz exemplifies the term classic, whether the book or the movie. A visit to Dorothy’s House and a trip through the Land of Oz takes us back to our childhood.

One glance at the shoes and you know whose bedroom this is.

As a country kid I never had roller skates, but tin can and rope stilts, you bet I did. (Grapefruit juice and tomato juice cans made you really tall.)

The Wizard himself. Sorry, no photos of the scarecrow, tinman or lion as I was too interested in what Dorothy was saying at the time. Gosh, I never even took a photo of Dorothy. It was great being a kid again.

The actual model of the house used in the movie to show it whirling through the air in the tornado.

You’re never too old to be a kid again.
