Frank Flew Again

Another new adventure!  We are celebrating Frank's upcoming 83rd birthday tomorrow.  Since the weather was perfect and won't be on Monday, yesterday he flew a plane again (after 15 years away from it) out at Greenwood County Airport.  (In the past, he has owned and flown many different planes.)  Rick, the instructor,  took him all over Greenwood County, the Fuji plant, Lowe's, the Michelin test track, Lake Greenwood, and of course over our land here with the dried up pond - which made it difficult to spot!  He was like a little boy with a new toy at Christmas time.  Now he's talking of power parachute flying.  Much cheaper than a plane and a good possibility.  ……Now today we'll go to the Y and sign up for a membership so we can begin strength training…..something we've talked about for months but not yet gotten around to actually doing.  Birthdays are wonderful times to try new experiences and even renew old ones!
