I am a Kansan

I live in Wisconsin. But I am, and will always be, a Kansan

People often ask me why I like Kansas so much.

There are so many reasons. And I suppose that most people like the place where they grew up - assuming that they enjoyed the process. I loved growing up in Kansas. I love the values of the people, the history of the place, the fruitfulness of the land, the beauty of the sunsets.

I love the openness of the skies, and the power of the storms that move across the plains.

I love that you can see for hundreds of miles in any direction. Especially in the Flint Hills.

I love that my parents and my sisters are there. As well as some cousins and my Grandmother.

I love that it still feels a little bit undiscovered.

I miss the wheat fields and the beautiful sunsets. So, to my friends and family in Gods Country - enjoy it for me.

Kansans...

I use Statcounter to keep up on stats for my blog. Pretty cool little tool. You can tell a lot of things about who's checking things out.

No surprise that lots of folks who keep up with Between Nut and Saddle are in the Milwaukee area. But, in looking at it lately, there are quite a few of you in Kansas who are following along too.

If you've got a second I'd love to know who's out there in Kansas. If that's you,

give a shout!
