My sister, Julie hosted a Fly In at her airport. It was scheduled by her husband well before he died. My sister did not feel right about cancelling it. The FLY IN must go on!
It was a beautiful day for flying.
Our brother in law, Dean who died suddenly and unexpectedly last February was laid to rest this past week.
High on the hill his final resting place is next to my parents.
Dean was a pilot with many friends. A number of planes did numerous fly overs singly and then during the committal service three planes flew overhead in the missing man formation. As the graveside service continued they flew in circles just far away to be heard and then they were gone as the service ended.
Far Side
Our appointments UP North happened last week.
Far Guy had a Pet Scan and blood work. His Oncology Doctor said "My beautiful friend your breast cancer is cured!" The thyroid nodule that is benign they are watching and it has not grown in size since the last Pet Scan. Far Guy is to follow up with his Endocrinologist in October. So that was all great news! We were truly blessed with an excellent Cancer Doctor and good treatment to have the breast cancer cured within a year!!
Meanwhile...I had a procedure with the Gastroenterologist. Waiting on the results.
Far Side
The Lady's Slippers along the driveway are in bloom. I believe there are four blooms. You cannot get real close because of the Poison Ivy!
The sun was very bright at noon when I took the photos with my cell phone. I was running errands...checking on/playing with dogs, getting the mail, taking the garbage out and checking on she who sees robins first (knee surgery). I picked a good time to be out and about as it rained quite hard later in the afternoon.
Far Side
We have a Mama deer that has twins.
They are great entertainment! Sometimes they wander in the yard alone and other times their Mama is with them.
They are curious about our bird baths.
We also have a fat old Raccoon that has been visiting the yard. Thankfully no skunks yet..or bear:)
