My daughter and I were headed to the ferry terminal on a city bus a year and a half ago , headed for the ferry to Nanaimo. A nice stranger offered us a half hour ride in his Cessna and after a minute or two we took a leap of faith and decided to fly. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget but it got us in hot water in that my farmer was very upset with our hasty decision. He's never seen my pictures and we haven't talked about it since we landed safely in Nanaimo. I understand your delight after such a wonderful experience!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-56208464056592893812012-01-17T06:41:26.418-08:002012-01-17T06:41:26.418-08:00One thing for absolute sure, I never get bored wit...One thing for absolute sure, I never get bored with your posts!!! You have so many interesting adventures, that it reminds me of my early years with Nancy Drew books:) You make noodles and you fly in planes, and you look young at age 60...what a fun person you are to know, even if only via blogland. So thankful that I found your blog. <br /><br />Great air photos!Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-35360510282292970312012-01-17T06:27:44.233-08:002012-01-17T06:27:44.233-08:00-clapping hands- Memories! Oh thank you for the ...-clapping hands- Memories! Oh thank you for the memories!<br /><br />Years ago, my husband got his pilot's license and we owned a small plane. A Cessna Skyhawk... painted brown and white... 8424 LIMA, were the call letters...<br /><br />And we flew!!!!!!! Early morning was lovely. Mists rising. Not much traffic. (<i>As in not *wall-to-wall-aluminum* up there</i>) <br /><br />We flew to Providencetown and back, a family excursion in one day. And to visit my friend in NJ. And he took daughter, to visit colleges. :-)<br /><br />Then his eyesight began to deteriorate. Please tell your pilot friend that, when he saw 2 planes on Final... He knew it was time to "pack it in." -sigh- <br /><br />But he did it for awhile! We did it! Our family did it! :-) <br /><br />Thank you!!!<br /><br />And my thanks to Vee, for pointing me over here, to read this. :-)<br /><br />And I always said, I prefer a small plane to a big one. You are always looking for places to land a small plane, in case of emergency. NO such opportunities are all-over-the-place below, for a big plane. -grin-<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />"Auntie"<br /><i><b>"The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought,<br />this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, <br />which helps us regain our equilibrium."</b></i><br />~N.
