Inspiration

We were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when Phil started reading to me from an article in the paper.

It was about a Kansan who had eaten a hamburger in all 105 counties and another who had stuck his feet in all the Kansas fishing lakes. “Sounds like fun,” we said to each other. Little did Phil know what reading that little article in the Parsons Sun would spark. A couple of days later I said, “Why don’t we try a quest? It sounds like fun.” It sounded like fun to Phil too, but deciding on the particular quest was more challenging. What to do, what to do? Since I work in a library, a library related quest sounded fun to me. Phil, my partner in life and marriage for nearly 30 years is agreeable to most things. I talked to our oldest son and to my surprise he thought it was a pretty cool thing for his parents to do. When I told my best friend, Karissa of our plans and our wish to do something library related, she suggested that we go to all the Carnegie libraries in Kansas… and so we will.
