He gets me

We're on vacation and most of the trip is scheduled around my father in law and planes which is really cool. I'm learning lots of scientific things and history on flying. Then, we checked into the motel near Kitty Hawk just a couple of feet from the beach on an evening with a full moon. My husband even woke me up early so we could watch the sun come up over the ocean.

I love that man. He gets me.

Blast from the past

Today I visited our Nation's capital.  The last visit was some 24 years ago. The Smithsonian still stands full of academic wonders. Even though I'm older, the Lincoln memorial still wows me. Once again the Washington Monument was under construction so I couldn't go up it.  The Vietnam Memorial still brings tears to my eyes.

Learning an adventure in gardening

Did you know that Sweet Potatoes have a flower?

It's purple and looks like this:

We planted ours in rocky soil and added lots of grass cuttings around them to keep down weeds down and the rain uncovered the first one. Not bad for the first one.

I should mention that Dwight started all of the plants from cuttings way back in January.
