Hovercraft & Blue Sky Fly In
Uncle Kyle Builds Hovercraft
Yes, Uncle Kyle has an engineering degree. He has always enjoyed building interesting things. This hovercraft is no exception. Built out of plywood, plastic “hay bale” sheeting and a leaf blower; it works pretty good.
He had it on display at the Fly In this past weekend at the Blue Sky airport which is South of Amarillo on Washington Street.
Here are videos of the hovercraft in action.
Blue Sky Fly In
Some really neat planes were at the fly in. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

This is a Stinson just like the one Uncle Kyle and I learned to fly when we were kids. Ours was a 1947 model 108-1.

Here are videos of some fly by’s.

22 Years & Counting
Bev and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary on Saturday the 5th.
It’s been a fantastic 22 years. We both are looking forward to the adventures the next 22 will bring.
My travels this week took me into Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. Remember you can click on the pictures for a larger view.
They have really had a lot of rain in Missouri lately. You can see the water level in the Truman Reservoir is really high.
Looking south of the dam, the Osage river then goes into the Lake of the Ozarks and then on to the Missouri river.
With all the rain the pastures are really looking good & green.
Iowa
It’s wet in Iowa too. Farmers are really getting anxious to get in the field and plant corn.
Nebraska
Crossing the Missouri River from Iowa into Nebraska City.
Nebraska farm land.

Miss Irish Rose Pageant
Kristen Brings Home 1st Runner Up
In the Miss Irish Rose Pageant
The Miss Irish Rose Pageant was held on March 15th in Shamrock Texas. This pageant draws girls from all over the area.
Obviously we were very excited about Kristen winning 1st runner up. She had a wonderful time and enjoyed the two days of contest events. Kristen is the Wellington Lions Club Queen this year and was representing them at this pageant.
Kristen will also participate in pageant at Dalhart Texas in April.
(You can click on any of the pictures for a larger view)
Wow! Kristen and Bev look like sisters.
Good friends - Thomas Reeves, Kristen, Carley Holland
A couple of friends of Kristen, Lucinda & Shanise who are attending school at Mid Western in Wichita Falls, were doing a video documentary about all a girl has to go through to participate in a pageant. I cant wait to see it.
Kristen & Tessa Henard (currently a freshman at OSU)
.
Kristen and Aunt Denice Adams.
I think Kristen really enjoyed wearing "girl" cloths.

Happy Easter & Birthdays
Sorry I have been negligent in my weekly postings. Lately my travel schedule has not left me much time to play. This should catch you up a little on our bunch.
The Resurrection
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "
Mark 16: 1-7
Jack Turns 14
Grandmother Joann makes the best birthday cakes!
Jack, Nicholas, Grandpa Tom, Grandmother Andree', Kristen & Zachary.
Wow - Kristen is 18
After much discussion it was decided that Kristen could light her own candles.
Another cake made by Grandmother Joann.

Next week I will try to post some pictures of my recent travels.
