Residents at The Regent Paint Christmas Toys

The Regent is a retirement community in Wichita, Kansas.  John Belt asked residents there to help by painting his hand made wooden toys to be donated to Operation Holiday.  The result was outstanding!  Many thanks to these residents.

Christmas Toys for Operation Holiday

Wichita Women Artists took the time in December 2017 to paint handmade wooden toys built by John Belt.  The women painted the toys and they were then delivered to Operation Holiday which distributed them to needy children in the Wichita area.  Before the toys were distributed, I took pictures of the toys and compiled them into a video.  

Hurricane Irma

With Hurricane Irma bearing down on the United States, I wanted to point you to a website that lets you see the winds associated with the weather on Earth.  This is a very informative website and I encourage you to use it to track Irma. You can scroll the map by touching it with your mouse and dragging.  Have fun!
