THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF TRANSPORTATION

It's been awhile since I've had the opportunity to send a note. I had to laugh when I saw this photo of the Cessna 182 on its way to Hangar C to receive a new paint job. With all the advantages of air transportation, the old-fashioned use of our own two legs (Shank's mare, as my grandmother used to say) often has merit. Snow and ice have been everywhere this past week and a half. It didn't matter much to me since I had all 5 grandkids here for a cousin/grandchild 4 day sleepover and was "homebound". They have only done this one other time at our house so it was a special event while Doug and Rachel attended Pastor/Wives retreat and Adam's kids joined in the fun. The first day Dennis was sick, 2 days later MMS was closed because of the icy road conditions so Dennis stayed home again (fortunately for us, since the electric went out and Dennis was able to get the generator going for lights, bathroom breaks, and cooking). No one got hurt, the fears that the youngest would cry for Mom all evening were unfounded (in fact she cried when she had to go home), they had lots of fun playing in the snow, and we have recovered from all the fun times and extra work. I love being a grandma! Now back to "normal" life.
