Distant Divas

The girls in this picture are far away. I miss them. Kim (sleeper on the left) is from KC and Carolyn (middle sleeper) came with our friend Sarah from Chicago to visit me and Kim a couple of summers ago. We spent the weekend scanning the radio for "I Kissed a Girl," wine tasting, boating, sampling food at the farmers' market, drinking Bud Select (Sarah and Carolyn's new favorite drink, discovered during their tour of the Budweiser brewery in St. Louis en route to KC). Kim and I taught Sar and Car the difference between Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas, along with their abbreviations, KCMO (pronounced K.C. Moh) and KCK, which they liked very much. We had dinner with Kim's precious parents, while discussing the irregularly small size of Kim's full grown cat (seriously, this thing looks like a kitten). We watched the Baby Sitters' Club. It was a delicious weekend. Here's to you, ladies (Sarah included, duh, just not pictured):
