Visiting the Kauffman Performing Arts Center


Monday we went to see the new Kauffman Performing Arts Center in Kansas City. Auntie says the exterior reminds her of the Sidney Opera House. Inside, the Great Hall is all white to showcase the patrons--I would show off really well since I'm mostly black! I particularly like the Casavant Freres Pipe Organ in Helzberg Hall. It has over 5500 pipes--the smallest is the size of a finger and the largest is 32 feet tall. I wonder if they would ever let me play? I'm really more of a dancer, so maybe I should think about the ballet.   If I ever get to go see the opera, there is a little screen on the back of the seat with translations.  I don't suppose they will translate into dog.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today I helped make pink cookies for Valentine’s Day. I love helping out in the kitchen. Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!

The First Snow


Snow! The first snow of winter and I couldn’t wait to go out and play. I built a snowman—complete with a scarf and carrot for the nose. It was a little hard to roll the snow into balls, but I’m pretty strong. The hardest part was getting them stacked on top of one another. Nanny helped me and if the boys had been here they could have helped, too. After I admired my work, I grabbed the carrot for a treat—as Popo says, I’ll eat anything!

I hope there's more snow this winter so I can make some ice cream. I really need a snack after all this hard work (play!).
