happenings

Last week we went to watch the Toews' son Jeremy take off in a Moody plane from the Polacca airstrip. He is just finishing up 5 years at Moody and was on a cross-country flight. Just before we got there we saw a small plane up-side-down beside the road. We later found out the story. The guy was flying and realized he forgot to put the oil cap on before he took off. He decided to land on the highway since he didn't know exactly where the Polacca airstrip was, (just a few hundred yards away) After landing the rangers blocked the road for him while he got a ride to the store for oil, put a makeshift cap on and he was ready to go. Well, he failed to double check his runway (highway) On take-off his wing hit a road sign and caused him to flip over into the ditch. hmmm...not having a good day? But he acted like it was just another day at the park.

Jim has been doing some sewing machine repair lately. He actually had my serger in several pieces, to "oil" it, (sound familiar?) and it is now back together with no extra pieces. I am pleased and excited. We ordered a part that we're waiting on and then we will see how it runs. I'll have to keep you posted.

Sergery on the Serger

Tara turned 12 this week and on her birthday we went in to Flagstaff to get some things and took her to ride horse. She really enjoyed it. She is growing up and I really enjoy hearing from her heart and watching her take the initiative to do things that need doing around here. She will be a big help to me in a few months I'm sure.

Lizards!

Hungry?

We are looking forward to friends from Indiana coming this Sunday. Linda and her 2 boys will be coming by train and staying for about 10 days.

Well that is the most recent happenings here.
