Past Plane and Simple

Thanksgiving reminiscing always includes memories of airplanes, starting with this 1941 Taylorcraft, NC33932. The first airplane ride that can I remember was in this aircraft, and I thoroughly did not like it! Later, however, I came to love the airplane and looked forward to each chance to go for another ride. Both my brothers flewContinue reading “Past Plane and Simple”

Hoppy Thanksgiving

Wishing all a warm, gentle, wonderful Thanksgiving! #thanksgiving #bunny

Well, This Ain’t Gonna Fly!

Seated just behind the wing, I took this photo and thought: There’s no way they are taking off like this. I waited for the announcement of delay due to deicing, but it never came. The plane left the gate and taxied towards the runway; en route to the deicing bay, I thought. Soon all airportContinue reading “Well, This Ain’t Gonna Fly!”

Two More Days

My favorite holiday is fast approaching and we are looking forward to celebrating with family. Decades of memories will mingle with the present and we will relive stories old and new. Two more days, can hardly wait. #thanksgiving

Land of Light and Eternal Night

Artemis I is on its way to orbit the Moon and today (Monday, November 21, 2022) will pass within 60 miles of the lunar surface. The purpose of this space program is to return people to the moon on the third Artimis mission. If all goes well with spacecraft testing on the first two flights,Continue reading “Land of Light and Eternal Night”

Beginning to look a Little Like Christmas

We usually wait until after Thanksgiving to start on Christmas decorations, but this year the Christmas Fairy just couldn’t wait. Aided by an Elf that was a combination of Dopey, Doc, and Grumpy, a wreath-like collection of artificial leaves, vines, and grape lights was gathered and mounted above the lanai. Dopey and Doc had aContinue reading “Beginning to look a Little Like Christmas”

Pool in PJ’s

The pool season is over and now it is covered for the rest of fall and winter. Though it was last used over 6 weeks ago, it was nice seeing it open and hearing the water feature splashing onto the surface. But temperatures have dropped so we put the its PJ’s on the pool whileContinue reading “Pool in PJ’s”

Late Autumn Mushroom

This mushroom seemed to be trying to blend in with the leaves until its white cap burst forth from beneath its brown veil whose tattered remnants resemble a starburst. A day or two later it was all gone, nothing left but the grass and leaves and the fungal filaments beneath the ground from which theContinue reading “Late Autumn Mushroom”

Last but not the Last

Artemis is on its way to the Moon, paving the way for the next person to walk again on its surface. In December it will be 50 years since the Gene Cernan became the “last” man on the Moon. In the past it was competition with the USSR that drove the dive into space, butContinue reading “Last but not the Last”

A Moment’s Notice

We were setting up some new bedroom lamps, oblivious of the setting sun. A side errand led me by the dining room window. Wow! Everything had to stop and I just had to get this photo. Then it was back to work and minutes later the scene had faded. It was nice to have noticedContinue reading “A Moment’s Notice”
