Sky Watch Friday

For my husband's 50th birthday, I decided to surprise him and the boys with a sky dive. He used to dive in his younger days, but hasn't jumped in years. The boys have never jumped before. It took place at 14,500 feet and included a 60 second free fall.

Kenny was the first out the door. He was the most apprehensive for the 3 guys.

Judging from his face in this picture, I think he had a great time.


Next to jump was Brent. He was very excited about jumping and not at all nervous. He loves an adventure.

Judging from this picture, I think he had a great time too.

Last to arrive safely on the ground is the Birthday Boy! What a way to test a 50 year old heart. :)

Another happy face! My surprise was a success.

Though my family tried real hard, they were unable to get me to jump. I kept my feet on the ground. :)

I found my husband's old dive log. The last jump recorded was in 1983. He can now make a new entry into it. :) I know it won't be that long again before he makes another entry. Both of the boys are now hooked on sky diving too.


Happy Birthday Mike!

Taken from my office window during a rather long confrence call. Yes, I know I should have been listening, but I was wishing that I could be outside to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather. :)

I took this on the Big Island in Hawaii. I liked all the contrasts in the picture. The white is pieces of coral and the black is lava. I also liked the faint mountains in the background.

Here is my entry for SkyWatch Friday.

Photo taken in Scottsboro, AL. Does anyone else find the sight of these things as eerie as I do?

Here is my entry for SkyWatch Friday. This picture was taken in early in the morning in Scottsboro, AL on my way to a dog show in Chattanooga, TN.

I have noticed that it doesn't matter what type of dog show that I compete in. They always require me to get up before the crack of dawn. :o)

It is the arrival of the cloud cover from Fay. She dumped rain on us for 3 days.

Here is my entry for Sky Watch. It was taken from my office window early in the morning. Just the start of another hot, sweltering August day. It is so still outside, the flag is not even fluttering.
These are the days that I don't mind being at work and can sit in my nice, air conditioned office. :o)

Here is my entry for Sky Watch Friday. I took it last year while vacationing in Hawaii with my hubby. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. It is my version of a "Corona Commercial". The only thing this picture was missing was to complete perfection was a little nail polish on my toes. :o)

Wish I was back there right now.
