Happy, Happy Birthday

Our weekend started out great by meeting Eric and Theresa and K-Bugs at Wellington. They picked up their new Mariner to take home and Bruce picked me up in the 140 to go on over to celebrate with Papa Guy on his 85th birthday(but it's really tomorrow-don't tell anyone). We did succeed in surprising him and Aunt Jo brought along Corey's boy Braydon(sp) so to help celebrate too. At the airport in Independence, we parked the 140 next to a gordeous Stearman painted blue and gold. We of course had to give it the once over - wouldn't it be fun to fly in an open cockpit! I think so! Then we drove on out to the farm and after the initial surprise, we went inside where Jo and I brought food for everyone. Barbecued beef with potato salad, baked beans, tomatoes, and then the angel food BD cake topped with home grown peaches. Yum, Yum! We all enjoyed it-

The cake! Can you see Peggy's stained glass cardinal in the background.

It is gorgeous!!

Of course that's Brayden driving.

Fun on the farm!

Our flight home in the 140 took only 1 1/2 hours. Think we beat Jo home. We had lots of fun and hope we can get the whole family home for a good old time get together. All cousins be prepared to mark your calendar. If you don't come - somehow Jo and I will get even - and you know you don't want that to happen. :) We'll decided on an upcoming date later and keep you posted on that event.
