Its about time.

For reasons unknown I have been having quite a time figuring out how to actually post a blog. Everything comes up except what I want. Luke figured it out for me and I think we are under way.
What a great time we had with the DeHarts here with us for ten days. Many of those days they spent elsewhere seeing family and old friends, but we got the lion's share. So much fun. And the trip to San Diego was great. Sam has been pretty shy in the past but that is gone now. When we got aboard the Midway, we got him up into the cockpit of a plane and he loved that. What they did was to cut the front of a twin engine patrol plane off and mount it so you can go up steps from the rear and sit is the pilot's seat. Wiggle the controls, it was great. Then videos of plane landing and some not landing on the carrier. Some crashes in which the pilot and the man in the rear seat ejected moments before the plane hit the water or the ship. Then floated back into the water on the chute.
It was a great day for the five year old boy. Not to mention his great grand parents, we enjoyed it, too. How many have we enjoyed? 12 grands and maybe eight of the greats thus far. First trip was in 1976. Poppa
