Enter: Ellie

After having to put our cat, Bugs, to sleep (sadly), we have ended up with a new kitten from some good friends.

Her name is Ellie and she was a barn cat that we are making into a house cat quite quickly. She likes to play and sleep and... well, everything a cat usually likes to do.

Oshkosh 2007!

Hello! We survived Oshkosh. We left at 5:00am Wednesday morning and got home at around 1:30am on Thursday. A great time was had by all. We saw everything there was to see and made sure that we caught all of the airshow as well. I've posted a few pictures below... I haven't been there for several years, so this was a great trip.

John and Janet, friends of Amber and I, made the trek with us. John is a former student and the aviation excitement was definitely flowing through this group. We survived hot sunshine, brief rainshowers, and foot pain to enjoy what all aviators know as the "mecca of aviation".

aviation 4 real

sprayers - all over
annoying, sometimes
some r OK

tired of being wrong, tho
tired of not hearing 'good work'
i know it's good work
because i hear it from others

this is not pure aviation
this is politics
messy

crystal clear water
green grass
puffy clouds
freedom

that is aviation
and that
is where i belong.
see u there

Happy Birthday, America!

Wow - it's been awhile since I updated this blog. Been too busy. We have been really busy at the airport trying to get people finished up with licenses and with moving stuff out of the current buildings - preparing for the move.

It should be fairly monumental. The airport will be a great place once it is all complete, but it will be a mess for a little while.

At any rate.. I may try to post some pictures later on. We're also going camping with some friends this weekend - - there will DEFINITELY be pictures of that.
