Random Me

Sometimes I write about interesting people I have met, sometimes I write little poems, sometimes I write random thoughts. For all that writing, the biggest challenge has been what to call my blog. I'm sure I'll change it again.

Look up in the sky! It's a plane! And a bomber! And a country star!



Then there was the 2006 Terre Haute Air Fair with an evening concert by Air Force veteran Craig Morgan. (Redneck Yacht Club, Little Bit Of Life, etc)

My sister Chris came over and boy did we have fun walking around the airport checking out all there was to see and do. We snagged our cowgirl hats (see mine in picture) from the fabulous Army men at the climbing wall. Good thing Chris is still limber enough to get up that wall, I really wanted a hat.

Although meeting Craig Morgan was a definite thrill, I have to say the most memorable moment was standing in front of the Furniture Gallery tent waiting for the Stealth Bomber to fly over my head. The classical music accompanying its arrival was PERFECT....and there it was...a tiny blip in the distant sky, coming slowly closer....but mysteriously no sound emitting. Closer, closer and I whipped out my camera and held it skyward in hopes of getting lucky with my aim. It was a beautiful sunny day and I got lucky...PERFECT pictures of this extraordinary military vehicle on my phone. I'd share them if I knew how to get them out.

The concert itself was an amazing success! The crowd was estimated to be 8-thousand, which is comparable to a good concert at Hulman Center, and Craig is a showman. I LOVED being up on that stage with so many happy fans getting psyched up.

Now my sister Marjie wants to know how I get these stars to wrap their arms around me like this.

I think I'll keep THAT secret to myself a little longer. ;-)
