Fly information cards and buckles

  

What year is this flight? 

Having 2 grandchildren who live in the other side of the world and 3 toddlers on the other side. makes giving hugs and kisses to be overwhelming.  Flying to Switzerland: 11 hours, and to Chicago 5 hours was much easier ten years ago. 

The flight crews make life interesting. Lord knows, life needs these talented people. 

Nothing else can be said about this post. Enjoy, and wonder about our time on an unending flight. Next time we fly, I seriously told my husband that we are taking first class, or at least I am taking it. I don't know what he will do.

 

No more homes

 

Russian helicopters on Ukraine

 

Helicopters fly

Gray and Green

Against a gray sky

Whoom-puh, Whoompuh

Blades cut through air

Shake leaves

Rattle glass

People watch from below.

Fly at night

Fly in day

Going where?  When?

Today, tomorrow.

Young men, young women

Sons and daughters all

Fly across

A town of People

 

Whoom-puh, Whoompuh

Beating of their hearts

And

Beating of blades:

Same sound.

Camp Pendleton is just 20-30 miles from us.  When we lived even closer, we could hear war maneuvers. Helicopters, munitions, half-tracks on the beach---means something was about to happen.

 

So, why is this being posted now?

Wed. Words: Love and Marriage

  

\

Love is tricky.

Belinda inhaled deeply as she descended the marble stairs. The room was lavishly prepared with champagne and caviar, shimmering in candlelight. Carrying a heart shaped bouquet, Belinda beamed at her Prince, her heart beating with the excitement of love.

When all was going well, the whole event smashed into floral and cake pieces. Immediately, after the following stampede, the groom’s Royal Parents examined the carnage.  What had happened? There had been some scurrying in the far corner, which led to discovery of a nest of rats.

Anyway, so much for royal weddings. Elope.
