Happy to share the best greetings for the holiday period. Have had two days in Kansas City, Mo., on the way to the middle of Kansas for Christmas with my wife's family. Below are some holiday visuals from being here in this fun, interesting city with lots of great design and architecture. Hope these pictures bring a little holiday cheer and inspiration for a bright new year ahead.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

Enjoyed a 14-day, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure, getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

Here are two examples of the fun holiday lights in Kansas City at their famed "Country Club Plaza" that has so much outdoor art, Spanish designs, shopping and dining options, etc., etc. Very charming here with lots of classy character in its style.:

From Kansas City's nearby main and large art museum, here are a few examples of what is offered there, including two unique outdoor art items, plus two interior examples that fit with the holidays season.:

From some added visual sharing, below are few more examples from our time in the Kansas City area. Nearly ready for Christmas tomorrow while being in the middle of sunny Kansas. The sun has been out and looking lovely right looking lovely all day long. It is a high of around 48F this afternoon.

Did a June 7-19, 2011, cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Dozens of nice visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc. We are now at 219,647 views for this live/blog re-cap, including much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:

Where's Norm? Remember the classic TV show "Cheers"? One of the favorites on that show was Norm who always sat at the end of bar drinking his beers. Earlier this week, we caught actor George Wendt doing a fun dinner theatre in Kansas City based on a group of guys doing barbershop singing, etc. As you see from my two pictures below, Norm/George still looks about the same. Clearly, Norm still likes his beer and food!:

Might as well toss a few birds and animals in this thread too, since I only posted Christmas decorations...
