The day started off


The day started off with a bit of a twist. Since I had been up until after midnight reading, I planned to sleep in. About 6:40 AM Tay crawled into bed with us. I ran out of room on my side, so I went to Tay's bed and went back to sleep. That lasted about thirty minutes before the neighbor's hound started wailing. In the end, all I got was kink in my neck from a strange pillow.

Later in the day I went over to the runway and flew up and down the runway six times with Rick in his ultralight. Each flight is only one mile, as that is the length of the runway. We reach an altitude of about forty feet before we come back down again. Once the registration paperwork is completed, he'll be able to really fly it. Last weekend both Dustin and Taylor got a ride.

After dinner the boys and I went over to the runway on our bikes. We hadn't even reached the end of the runway when it begain to pour. By then it was dark, and we turned around and rode home in the pouring rain. It hasn't rained as much as usual lately, and I really miss the rain when we don't have it.
