ESU flowers

Flowers at the Memorial Union, Emporia State University.

Plumb Hall

Emporia State University. Marigolds and black-eyed Susans add some color to this gray day, this gray week, this gray month.

Food Fest

Going on until 8 p.m. tonight is the International Food Festival in the basement of the ESU Union. Dave and I just got back, tummies full of Korean food. It all was tempting though.

The Korean platter for $5.

The guys from Saudi Arabia.

Dreary Market

If it’s the Farmers Market, it’s raining. This has been the rainiest market season ever. Rainy and cold, 57 degrees again today.

Rain and 57 degrees doesn’t stop Steve Graham from wearing shorts and flip flops.

That’s Rand on the right. He’s a member of the Crazy Men in Shorts Club and is thinking about making a [...]

International Foods

There’s a lot going on in Emporia on Saturday.
Downtown all day is the flea market - the Great American Market. And Chalkfest, I think.
At Las Casitas Park is the Mexican Fiesta.
There’s a home game at ESU.
And after that home game, from 4 - 8 p.m., behind Morse Hall and the Union at ESU, is one [...]

Hornet Express

New this semester to the Memorial Union at ESU is the Hornet Express. This was previously just a snack shop, but it’s been renovated and expanded and now serves real food - like burritos.

Half-staff

Beautiful beds of flowers will greet students for the fall semester which begins next Wednesday.
The flags flew at half-mast today at the the request of Governor Sebelius in honor of Specialist William Mulvihill of Leavenworth. Mulvihill and three other soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on August 1.

Wooster Lake

Floating flowers on Lake Wooster at Emporia State University.
Sometime last week, I was at ESU bugging Roger and we stepped outside the Memorial Union so he could show me these flowers.

Phi Delt Lawnboys

Once a Phi Delt, always a Phi Delt. Alumni came to help the current residents of the ESU fraternity landscape the property today.

They’re not goofing off. Really. They’re waiting for the wheelbarrows - which are on the other side of the house.

Landscaping Mastermind Jeff Hamons talks with Roger Heineken.

Another PDT Update

Because Flyover People has a large following of Phi Delta Theta-ers, here’s today’s update from their new house adjacent to the Emporia State University campus.
The banner is new, just added today. The house looks a lot different with the big tree in front removed.

The carefully crafted stone retaining wall is shaping up.

For previous updates on [...]

Phi Delt Update

Remember way back in November (OK, I don’t want to go there either), when I had photos of the Phi Delta Theta house being put together? If you want to refresh your memory… Landing a House.
Well, the house is together (not totally finished, but together) and the guys have moved in. Now there is landscaping [...]
