Plane Ride

A couple of weeks ago Troy and I went on a plane ride around Wichita Falls. Our pilot Danny goes to our church and invited us out. I told him way ahead of time that I was a bit apprehensive. I flew in another 4 seater about 10 years ago and it was pretty scary. Way too much turblulence!

But I was very glad I did not give in to my fears. This plane was much nicer than the one I rode in before. It has heating, leather seats, and it's a real heavy plane. There were only a couple of very minor bumps during the hour plus ride. Troy was in the front passenger seat most of the time while I took photos out the side windows.

Danny showed us all the controls, the navigation system and everything. There were guidance systems for flying through clouds and other safety systems on the plane. The radio controls were pretty cool and we kept in touch with several aiports along the flight. Troy and I both got to try our hand at flying the plane, which was pretty fun.

Valentine's Day was really special this year. Not only did we get to play in the snow, but Troy and I had a great date too. We went to Bari's, a local Itallian place. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was romantic, yet casual. Afterward we went to a performance of the Wichita Falls Symphony. It was a great concert and they had a guest violinist who was amazing.

Today some of the snow is still here, but "George" has gone to snowman heaven.

Snow

Today it snowed! It was so beautiful when we awoke to find the world covered in white.
