Trip to Iceland - July 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026

 Our trip to Iceland was on a Viking Cruise ship.  Flew into Reykjavik, boarded our ship, and then circumnavigated Iceland in a clockwise motion, stopping at the towns on the map below.  Below the map are a few of the photos that we took.  

 
 

Wichita State University Retiree Association

My apologies for not having posted in a while. I have no excuse other than laziness.  I have joined an organization, the Wichita State University Retiree Association .  There are several activities sponsored by the organization which I enjoy.  There is a Dinner Club, a Brown Bag Series on Lectures, and the one that I would like to write about today, is the Book Club.  Each month the Club picks a book to read and then meet and talk about them.  The book selected for this month was "The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan.  This book tells the story of the American Dust Bowl of the 1930's.  I won't go into the book at depth, but one of the interesting things that was discussed was the "Ogalla Aquifer".  I encourage you to go to the link and read about it.  Depletion of the aquifer is prompting conservation programs.  

Christmas Video: Toys for the Salvation Army to Distribute

 I've done these videos for a number of years now.  As always Woodworker John Belt does a marvelous job making the toys.  The Wichita Women Artists then paint the toys.  As always a great job! Enjoy the video
