Some conference pics

Here's the Hyatt at Crown Center where the NGS Conference was held. (you can double click on the photo to enlarge it)





And the lobby from the second floor outside the restaurant.





Here's another view of the lobby. The two crosswalks which collapsed in 1981 were on the second and fourth floors right across this glass area.



Here's a view of downtown KC from outside the hotel at the corner of McGee and 22nd.

The Alexander Calder sculpture "Shiva" in Crown Center outside the Westin.

My Garden....finally!

Dad brought the roto-tiller Sunday and I tilled the garden. Yesterday started my vacation, so I went to Farmer's Market and bought plants and planted them.

Wintering over are my rosemary, chives and two broccoli plants. New for this year 4 sweet banana peppers, 2 Roma plum tomatoes, 4 zucchini and an Italian flat parsley.

Off to Kansas City for the National Genealogy Society Conference in the States! Keep posted!

As always, you can double click on the pics to enlarge them...


My big rosemary bush in the upper left...it's getting huge!


From the left there's the rosemary, then parsley, chives and scattered in the middle are the tomatoes (with the poles), peppers and zucchini (just above the rock).


My red dianthus have really did well this year. Making St. Anthony a nice view!

See ya in a few days! If I can get some pics from the trip out here, I will. Follow me on my blog at
