See what I can do.......

Yesterday I spent the day learning how to make spring rolls and molded candies. I have never eaten sushi of any kinds but I did OK with this as the fish in it is cooked. They were tasty if I say so myself. Of course the best is the chocolate turtles and homemade Reece's peanut butter cups. I'm going to bag up all the chocolate and give it out to the kids Saturday. I should be a very popular American for a couple of days!

American Workhorse!

Last week I had an opportunity to get up close to this B1. This one is here being worked on after a technical problem caused a fire in one of the engines before it landed in Iraq. It was not in a secure area so they quickly flew it out (with three engines) to this location. The chief engineer was telling us these planes are so big but they land so smoothly that in another incident a B1 landed with out it's gear down and the two pilots in the back did not have a clue. It takes four pilots to fly this plane. Pilot, co pilot, defensive engineer and offensive engineer. The cockpit was very very small for such a large plane. It can carry 24 smart bombs and that is where most of the room is. I was able to get my picture taken but you can't really see that much as I'm leaning back and the airman taking my picture had to lean back also but it's still a very close pictures as you'll notice all the wrinkles.

I'm Back!!

Well I've been back in the UK now for a month. Nothing much really going on this time of year. We've had some sunny days but very cold. The rain is moving back in now but hopefully it won't be for long. While in the states we celebrated Paige's 30th birthday as well as Christmas with Daddy, Bonnie and Mom. Then the we spent the New Year with Shane, Jennie, Samantha and Tucker in Sacramento. I thought I'd put up a few pictures from my trip home. Come March we will start traveling again and I'll have more to write about.`
