Old Red House

A month ago or so, I was in Kansas. No, I did not feel like there's no place like home.

However, I did take that chance to go visit my home, where I was born. St. Joseph, MO. And a couple of other places.

I was in Wichita, KS for work. I decided to take a day and go visit a client in Overland Park and then go visit my family.

First, I visited my Uncle Kenny. He lives in downtown Kansas City, in the Plaza area. We had such a great time. Met some friends, went to dinner, and then spent the night at his place. I didn't get to stay there too long, but his place was awesome. He had one of the most amazing houses and backyards I've seen.

The next morning, I went to visit my grandpa on my dad's side in Maysville, Mo. This is where my dad grew up, and I spent a lot of time of time here as a kid.


Grandpa and I visited my Grandma's grave in Fairport and then had lunch downtown. It was short, but we really had a great time.

On the way back to the KC airport, I drove through St. Joe. It's been a long time since I've been there.

The only place I could remember where I lived was on Olive Street.


I remember a couple things about this house. The wallpaper that was red velvet, and the fact that I thought Mister Clean lived in our basement!
