Brandon and Ashlie  Tracy Traditional wedding cake face smash.

Don't know who decided this tradition was a good idea. 

 But this one's a dozy.

The Oxford Mill Oxford Kansas

The old Oxford mill
Traveling West from Winfield Ks. on highway 160 you will come to the small town of Oxford Kansas.

Located on the Arkansas River this quaint little Kansas Town is full of charm and History.
The Old Grist Mill built in 1849 sets on West Bank of the river.

Although the Old Mill is not used to mill the grain the local farmers would bring,
the Old mill has a new life and purpose.

The Owners of the Mil, Wallace Champing and Hal Ross completely restored the mill back in 1988-89.
The restoration was completed as they replaced most of the support posts and beams, new joists and flooring, and refurbished Head House.

The old mill now serves as a popular tourist attraction , with many visitors every year.
The owners have opened a restaurant in the newly remodeled Head House.

So the next time you are wanting someplace  to go Oxford Kansas is just a short drive from Wichita Kansas,

Just head south on the the turnpike, exit at Wellington the go East until you arrive in Oxford, there are signs directing you to the mill.

Playing the Guitar Gifted Granddaughter Teaches herself to play the guitar.

My wife and I have been blessed with 19 grand kids And numerous great grand kids.

Each and everyone of them are special and have talents that only god could have given them.

I won't go into to all of that today.
I want to brag on one of the girls Several years ago she set out to learn how to play the guitar.

Now bear in mind her and her brother and sister were members of the Campus High school band.

They all have the music gene in them, I guess their great grandma Russel give it to them.

Her brother Plays drums And her sister plays a variety of musical instruments.
Her sister can set at the piano and play pretty much anything by ear.

One day while she was visiting us she brought her guitar that she received for Christmas or her birthday, don't remember which. She at down and started playing this was several years ago.

Anyway here is the first song the she played  for us.

Now music comes easy to these kids, Not so much for a lot of people

There are plenty of on line course to teach Music the one found to be really helpful
and they offer a five day course for free is Guitar Ninja

Cowboys and Cowgirls Rounding up The cows on the 5S Ranch Sedan Kansas

Every spring the cowboys and cowgirls gather at the 5S ranch to round up the Cows and Calves.

They do this for two reasons;

One to vaccinate the animals, and to brand the spring calves.


It takes a good team of cowboys and girls and good horses to get the job done.this is a very interesting process and I was fortunate to be invited to take pictures I hope you enjoy this look  into a day in the cowboy's life

The Kansas Flint Hills Long lost memories of a time gone by

My travels thought the Flint Hills of South East Kansas.

We traveled to Wichita Ks. Friday June 22 to pick up the much needed new wall oven
We Live in the heart of the Flint Hills, in the quiet little town of Sedan Kansas,
This trip to Wichita took us up Highway 99 to Hwy 400, we  touch the north side of Moline Ks.
then thru the small town of Howard Ks., Continuing North on 99 heading towards hwy 400 we came upon this old stone house located about 3 miles south  of Hwy 400 on 99

One has to wonder what stories lie inside the walls of these old houses

this one has long since been abandoned 

and now the property is a cattle lot.

the grass has been cut, probably going to get baled up into hay for winter feed.

We walked around the old house 

It was very interesting to look at.

these old stone houses will stand the test of time 

this one the roof is going bad and has a lot of holes in it so it won't be long before 

the roof is totally gone 

You can purchase prints of this old house
