Day 359

You know what I'm thankful for? Among other things, of course. I'm grateful to come from a family that appreciates history.

Which explains the fact that on our day out on Saturday, we headed straight for the Shawnee Indian Mission and spent the morning there.



These buildings are original to the site, I believe. Or at least modeled closely on the originals.



That rather lovely brick building in the back IS original. It's one of the three remaining main buildings that were part of the mission/school. More pictures from the interior later, most likely.



And here, learning things, are Mom and Don.



Mom out and about, despite the wheelchair? Smiling (or in this case, squinting) into the sun? One of my very favorite things about the day.

If you get a moment, and you're this sort of person, mind taking the time to pray for her? The bone she broke back at the turn of the year isn't healing. They're talking bone grafts now. And replacing the other knee. Which they can't do until she can put weight on the broken leg. It's all kinds of fun!

I want more moments like this for her--only without the wheelchair.
