The Flying Weedeater

My dad took me flying in his ultralight Sunday afternoon. It is so little that we dubbed it, "The Weedeater."
This is the tree Dad hit as he was trying to cross the road. Cabbagehead and Yardboy got the plane wing away from the tree and we were on our way.

Update August, 2007: Dad hit the tree two more times. He decided to cut the tree down.

Oh my! How was it? Were you scared? Was it fun? Are you all crazy?!!!!!

Just kidding. It does seem like it would be fun--not terribly safe, but lots of fun! Great photos!

You are one brave chick! Seeing that brought back memories. My son's father had one and I helped him assemble it once, but would NOT go up in it!

Fun? You bet!
Crazy? Most definitely!

Celebrating Recovery on New Year's Eve

These are the cakes I made for our Celebrate Recovery New Year's Eve Party. I couldn't find my camera, so I took these pics with my phone. This one was a butter cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmmmm . Butter is goooood . This one is chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. I had to cover it with vanilla buttercream because it was so chocolaty ! The friends, food, music, and dancing were great. We had a blast ringing in the new year!

SERENITY NOW!

Image
Everyone knows this part of the Serenity Prayer. Here is the entire prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr: * God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen. * As you can see, I couldn't resist the Seinfeld reference. :) *
