We’ve been back in Kansas for about a week now hanging out at my grandparents’ place. Lingering jet lag means lots of morning walks and snapping photos of a place now foreign and familiar all at once.
It’s been a full house with my dad, stepmom, sister, aunt, uncle, cousins, and a whole slew of other relatives visiting. It’s also been a sweltering 100 degrees almost every single day, which means it’s been the perfect time to get reacquainted with air conditioning, play lots of late night card games, and eat as much American junk food as I can handle.
