Besides heading to Kevin and Jen wedding down in Phoenix in May, here are a few of

While visiting the ranch several of us got a treat with some flying lessons.

Judy is in training here.


Mary is safely strapped in ready for her lesson here.

She wasn't happy until is was over, but she admitted she was glad she did it.


This is the Ranch from up in that Fly'n Machine.

South Dakota praire is something of beauty from a 100 or so feet up. You can see where the wagon trians crossed, homesteaders settled and Native Americans had their pow-wows


In Minnesota we did some visiting and shortly before we headed out we all got together at Lois & Jim Persons for a picnic.

We also went to Winona and visited a couple of my aunts and went to Houston to visit where we grew up as kids and our family grave sites

There we are with my Aunt Lola and Uncle Eddie.
