By the time the plane landed on the lake, I was hooked. One year my daughter and son-in-law (who is a pilot) gave me an hours ride in a small plane for my birthday gift. It was such fun! I am not a fan of commercial flying, but love the small planes that fly lower and you can pick out landmarks. I have never flown in a helicopter, but I would like to.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-74648297645629440682017-06-22T12:34:02.941-05:002017-06-22T12:34:02.941-05:00Nice to have family coming and going, makes the da...Nice to have family coming and going, makes the days brighter I'm sure! <br />I am the opposite, I don't mind commercial flights but small planes seem scarier for some reason. I haven't been in one so I guess I can't judge that! Although I have been in helicopters.

More so the older I get. But you know all about that, don't you. I have read your accounts of the long trips you make to see your Mom. She and I are blessed with good kids.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-23546292788264467562017-06-21T16:37:37.944-05:002017-06-21T16:37:37.944-05:00SJ...I love it when the kids just pop in now and t...SJ...I love it when the kids just pop in now and then. Brightens my day.<br /><br />I think meat prices are jumping nearly everywhere. Bacon has definitely become a luxury item to be used sparingly. Sad. I love bacon.<br /><br />Good for you having a bumper crop of strawberries. Homemade strawberry jam is wonderful stuff. I still have lots that I made last year plus some frozen berries still, so I don't think I need to do more now. Duane said he might go get us a flat to share just for eating. Those strawberries from the Market are so much better than store bought. And I think maybe a fresh strawberry pie might be in my future. :)<br /><br />The weather guessers here say the temps will remain comfortable for another week. I haven't seen a long range forecast. I do know that I am glad to be living here and not in the SW where temps have been well over 100 degrees. I suppose they feel the same about our bitterly cold winters. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-40989943051712769872017-06-21T15:05:01.217-05:002017-06-21T15:05:01.217-05:00I think it is great that they do check up on you.I think it is great that they do check up on you.BWBandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15435259893321037788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-91856619843911316242017-06-21T14:46:12.535-05:002017-06-21T14:46:12.535-05:00Sounds like a lovely week.

Every other month or so I buy a packet, cook it all, and freeze. The news reported this week that meat prices are supposed to jump almost 10% here. Crazy.<br />I'm going to make strawberry jam here soon. Probably tomorrow. I'm getting a bumper crop this year. After Friday, our weather is supposed to get 'hot' for us, mid80s.<br />Take good care of yourself.

Usually the boxes of ends and pieces are quite a bit less per pound, but I haven't bought any for a while, so we shall see. Bacon seems to be like gold here in the North, too.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-48359535016233513662017-06-21T12:21:31.812-05:002017-06-21T12:21:31.812-05:00There are no pounds of bacon here that I have foun...There are no pounds of bacon here that I have found. All packages are 12 oz. AND, the price seems to be what I would expect for a 16 oz package. When I found a box of pieces, the price was just under the price for slices. Bacon seems to be like gold here in the South.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
