an airbnb and my parents’ high school

 

While visiting in Kansas, we stayed at a very economical Airbnb — a transformed trailer house in a small RV park. Simple, quiet, and comfortable with everything we needed; so much better than a hotel or motel!

I was able to my dad a couple of times at the nursing home he lives at, in spite of their overly strict COVID rules.

On the drive there, we passed what has to be the most beautiful high school in the country, Wichita North. My parents went to this Art Deco / American Native styled building, and I have sketched it before. It’s located near the Riverside neighborhood where I first met with others as we learned about watercolor and sketched together.

The nearby Minisa Bridge matches the motifs on the school building — something else I have sketched in past years. I love that bison!
