Saturday morning found us on the steps of the
Kansas State Capitol
recently restored and refurbished
spectacular
there are no tours on Saturday. . .
so once again we found ourselves exploring every nook and cranny. . .
the architecture is wonderful. . .
and they were kind enough to leave the galleries open,
so we could sit and enjoy the House and Senate Chambers. . .
I rarely try to get pics of them. . .it just doesn’t translate. . .
but they were very beautiful. . .and functional. . .
fabulous artwork and sculptures in the rotunda. . .
President Eisenhower has a well deserved spot right outside the
door of the Governor’s Office. . .
this is the Governor’s “Presentation” Office. . .where news conferences are conducted. . .
would love to know the story of this washstand,
which was located in the corner of the “presentation office”
and of course, my favorite thing is always
the dome of the rotunda. . .isn’t it divine?
See those columns and railings?
See those columns and railings?
If you are on a tour, you get to go all the way up to those,
and look out those windows. . .
I wanted to do that so bad. . .but alas. . .no access on Saturdays. . .boo hoo!
and the rest of the pics we took. . .
on Sunday, we chose to worship with the Apostolics of Topeka
we appreciated the warm welcome, and enjoyed our visit very much. . .
this is how I spent part of Sunday afternoon. . .reading a magazine,
enjoying the view. ..and being thankful for all our blessings. . .
See you next time somewhere between here and Oklahoma City. . .
‘til then,
Janice and Dave
