One last nice day

 Saturday I just couldn't decide what to do.  Most of the festivals were Christmas lights.  I really couldn't find anything.  So I ran across a post on Facebook about the Kansas City Museum.  The more I looked, it has limited hours so decision made.

The museum is located in the northeast part of Kansas City.  The museum is in a house.  Oh my, beautiful does not describe this house or neighborhood.  You have to park on the street.  (It's a house.)  On my walk to the entrance I passed this.  Scarritt Point sign.  The view of downtown was beautiful.  



So I finally get to the house.



Wow.

The first floor is for the family who built the house.  Mr. R. A. Long.  The second floor is about Kansas City.  


So I finish and start driving home.  Not far from the museum I see this building and pull over.  On the map it says The Colonnade.



This looks down to the same park that I saw blocks away at the museum.


There was also a memorial to John F. Kennedy with an eternal flame.


I see this down the block.  So of course I cross the street and walk onto the circle.  It's for Senator Thomas Hart Benton.  I haven't looked him up and don't know anything about him.  But he has a traffic circle.


This might be the time to mention that I get honked at when I drive and when I walk down the middle of the street.


This is my first cross stitch finish since moving.  I made 2.  Waiting for a charm to arrive.  I love my turkeys.

See ya Monday.
