YELLOW BRICK ROAD #2


Another trip down the yellow brick road to Kansas...actually it was a red brick road in Ft. Scott and we were really fascinated with it. We just never allow ourselves enough time to stop at the interesting little towns on our way to where we are going! Would like to have showed the girls Ft. Scott's Historical Sites and walked in the old town area. Iola, KS, is another town with a totally fascinating downtown that we drove straight through one more time.
So, just where did we go and who went?? My cousin Ellen's daughter, Brady Whitson, got married in El Dorado, KS, on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. Ashton, Erin and I went with Christie and we made a very full day. Mapquest put driving time at 5 hrs, 7 min. and we actually made the trip in 6 hours, so made quick work of our pitstops along the way. This is my cousin Ellen, with her 3 children and a brand new son-in-law!

By getting to the church a couple of hours early, we were able to spend some extra time visiting with Uncle Walt, Aunt Nadine, Becky, Ellen and Roger. The wedding was beautiful and I wish Brady and Nick all the happiness in the world. This is a picture of our Uncle Walt,Aunt Nadine, their 4 children, inlaws, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren. They have a family to be proud of!

Oh Elan...I've done nothing all
afternoon but read your articles.
Love that you take the pictures.
I'm so hungry now for fried fish.
Uncle Chester & Aunt Bonnie always
had fish for us and it makes my
mouth water. Keep writing please...
I feel like I've had a good visit
with you all today. Love to all of
you and tell those men of your's to
"keep on fishing".
Love,,,,,,Karla Pennington

I've just spent the entire afternoon reading your articles.
I'm so hungry I may end up on your
doorstep by evening. All that fish
has made my mouth water. I'm glad
you take so many pictures. I feel
like I've just had a nice visit with you all. Can't be at Lonestar
in Oct. But, will see you all at
Christmas. I've saved you to
"Favorites" so I can keep up to date with all the upcoming events.
Thanks again for letting peek into
your life.
Love, Cousin Karla
