So, how did you do? It was Kansas!
For me, it was Eisenhower that gave it away (although he wasn't born there). Carol and Mommy Beth knew KS while Mommy Beth, Doris and Joani both voiced their opinion about color or monochromatic. Maybe I should have used Dorothy's comment to Toto, "We're not in..."
A few towns over from me, there is a small airfield - and, I use that term very loosely! Cranland Airport is on Rte. 58 in Hanson. If you are not sure of its exact location, you will drive by it.
Well, every third Sunday from April to October, the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Assoc.) has this gathering, a fly-in. On a good day somewhere between twenty-five and forty planes will grace the airstrip and surrounding grounds starting as early as 8 AM. The Fly-in is a fund raiser where the organizers host a pancake breakfast for a mere $5.
While a good majority of the aircraft tends to be of the Piper Cub genre, I have been there for some bi-planes, a WWII transport, a helicopter, and some home-made airborne crafts. I use the fly-ins to practice my panning techniques. By noontime, the planes start to make their return flights.
If you are planning on showing up, check the weather. There will be days when the number of arrivals will be at a minimal because of atmospheric conditions. For this seaplane departure, I had a wonderfully colorful aircraft against an interesting sky.

Thought for the week. . .
Found these most interesting outlooks on life:
Promise only what you can deliver.
Then deliver more than you promise.

Here are some interesting facts about one of our fifty states. Do you know which one? This state boasts of being:
where Marcella Gruelle created the Raggedy Ann doll in 1914.
where the
first professional baseball game was played
on May 4, 1871
where grocer Gilbert Van Camp discovered his
customers enjoyed an old family recipe for
pork and beans in tomato sauce. He
opened up
a canning company and Van Camp's Pork and Beans
became an American
staple.
where both James Dean and David Letterman were born
Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .
I have kleptomania. But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
