A perfect Sign for my Student

Bear loves Airplanes....

He loves the

'tail dragger' ones!

Sometimes, he is like those planes he loves,

and I pull this out for him!

Atlantis' last flight

I grew up here on the Space Coast of Florida.

Rocket launches were a part of my early life.

It never gets old...always fun to see a launch.

Atlantis clearing the trees....
Always a lovely view

Bear using the video camera.

He loves to watch the launches.

Atlantis returning home this week.
We are gonna miss those sonic booms

announcing a shuttle's return.

We can hardly believe that there are only 2 flights left.

Daughter, Dolls and Friends

Aimée was 2 when she requested her first 'chocolate' doll.

(her term for what she wanted)

Janet was the first of many.

Addie came a few years later.

Aimée dolls have wardrobes as full as her own.

:)

Aimée with Addie and Janet

Aimée and her dolls with Annie and her doll, Kirsten.

I had fabric left over from these sunflower dresses I had made for me and Aimée a few years ago. I made Annie one to match, and one her doll... she asked if Aimée's doll could match also.
I don't often make Aimée (20) and her doll matching outfits, but this was a fun thing to do again.

Flowers

Roses are pretty, but Carnations are my favorite!

A bouquet of carnations mean love to me! :) They are soft
They smell wonderful....

They last a long time....

I really love them!

Air Show 2010

The 'Heritage Flight'

A10 Warthog and F86 Sabre
Gotta love the face on a Warthog!

The F86 Sabre..

he could take that plane close to the ground and quickly!

The local 'star'.

TICO BELLE

Bear's new shirt

Our Bear cub, and his favorite 'girl'
The TICO BELLE.

Front row seats....

Todd

What is an Air Show without

Funnel cakes and Lemonade?

Doug and Todd brought some for me and Aimée.

We kept our seats while the boys checked out the car show.

Bear and a new friend.

Misc

We have had a few more cooler days this winter...

Those rarely worn sweatshirts have been worn this year!
But it has also been warm enough to keep the 'birks' on.

My new favorite mug.

(a Christmas gift from a friend)

Bear

Patiently waiting....
...waiting to pass out tracts in a Christmas Parade....

....riding in the way back of the wagon on the way to church....

....enjoying a KID'S Sundae at Ghirardelli Soda Shoppe...

....just being momma's favorite Bear cub!
