KANSAS–the only time i have ever been in kansas there was a tornado warning. we sought refuge in the local DQ’s walk in refrigerator. they offered us sarapes to keep warm (from the attached gift shop) and free ice cream. thankfully we didn’t have to stay in there very long and were shortly on our way to denver.

KOOLAID–my favorite flavor of koolaid is black cherry. i normally don’t even like cherry flavored anything. but koolaid is another story. black cherry is the best. but it stains your fingers if you get the powder on you.

KARMA–do good things, good things come back to you. learn it, live it.

KOA–kampgrounds of america. during our camping years growing up we stayed in many of these kampgrounds (with a K). i remember wanting my parents to buy one so i could work in it. i loved the little store. i loved the idea of taking the money and then showing on a map where their spot would be. but the best part of my dream was to be the one who showed the kampers their spot while driving an atv. now it would be a golf cart (which i like even better). the koa’s were pretty fun. i remember swimming in an outdoor heated pool while there was snow on the ground. i remember ice cream socials. i remember watching family movies in the rec room. i remember playing in the playground.

KRAKATOA–one of my favorite words. it is an active volcanic island in indonesia. but i like to use it as an exclamation. mostly when a kid trips & falls down, smacks themself in the head, takes the brunt of some unexpected flying object. such as…kid is walking through the kitchen and stubs their toe and trips, landing on the ground flat on their face. proper response would be “KRAKATOA!!”..lol
