FLYING HIGH

Thursday, January 04, 2007

We rolled out of bed this morning a little before 7:00 and headed for the Deer Valley Airport. The prices have gone up a little in the New Year but the breakfast is great and the prices are still good.

There was a lot of activity out there today. We watched the small planes taking off and coming in for landing. We saw helicopters, one after another taking off—probably getting up over the freeways to report traffic conditions. Two jets, probably corporate planes, came in. It was fun just sitting there eating and drinking coffee and day dreaming about riding high in the sky.

Yep, this is about as exciting as it gets in retirement. I love it!

I just finished a month of teaching a Bible class and I will preach a funeral message Saturday morning. That’s about as close as I want to get to “church” work—or any work for that matter.

Ah, retirement!
