Ted and I went to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City and had lunch with Emily, daughter of my cousin Jane. Emily is a curator's assistant for the European collection. Lunch was very good and Emily gave us some insight into what she does. Note the shuttlecock sculptures on the lawn outside.
The museum has one of the Monet Waterlilies paintings. He did a series of these studying the effects of light at different times of the day and seasons.
I was born in Kansas City. It is always fun to come back. I like this town.
I am into genealogy, if you didn't already know. This is the grave of one of my great, great grandmothers. I knew that the date of her death that is given in many family trees was wrong because I have a photo of her that was taken after the date given. When we were in Plattsburg (just northwest of Kansas City) two years ago, we couldn't find this marker. It was a real triumph to find it today. Sure enough, she died in 1916, not 1910. The clerk in the county court house had a listing of the graves in this cemetery, making it easy to find this. Tillie's second husband and two of her children are buried near her.
Arthur Bryants is a famous Kansas City BBQ restaurant. We ate here on our way back from Plattsburg. This one is inside the Ameristar Casino off of I-435. It was good, but Ted likes Rudy's in Texas better. We do like Bryants over Gates BBQ, another well known Kansas City place.
