Brashares Family Babblings: Remember Grainfield, Kansas?

I left a comment about this on Teri's post below... She was recalling fun childhood memories. Last weekend, on our trip to OKC to pick up the Jeep, we went through Grainfield, Kansas. It brought back memories of that sweltering July 4th when Big Blue broke down (we're going to have to find a picture of Big Blue to post so that others can really appreciate it) in the middle of nowhere Kansas. Thankfully, because it's a farming area and Big Blue was a one ton "truck" (it was a 12 passenger GMC Rally "church" van), they had the part. It was 5pm on a holiday when we showed up and they stayed to fix our van (which was a good thing - because Grainfield doesn't have a hotel and there's not a hotel or place to stay for at least 50 miles). Meanwhile, we camped out on a picnic blanket under the one tree in Kansas in 100 degree heat and sweated our brains out. Quite the experience! We will all forever remember Kansas for it.

Well, I'm happy to report that Grainfield hasn't changed a bit. Here's a picture or two for old times sake.
