Mowing and Flying

We went up for the Friday field mowing this morning.  We had a good turn out to help, eight members showed up.  Dan had not slept well, so he was there early, he had the runway and pits done when we arrived.  Steve I. went over and did Mrs Herren's lawn.

Steve K. had stopped at Doug's and picked up two new tables Doug had built.  Everyone had to stop and check them out, then make a decision about which tables to replace.

After the mowing and table job was done, the flying started.  The first thing I did as I unloaded was put up our sun shade.  Leonard and Audrey put theirs up right beside it and we had room for everyone to sit and have lunch in the shade.

I had only been sitting for a few minutes when an Army Chinook came in and landed at Toledo airport.  It is one of my favorite helicopters so I took lots of pictures, this one is as it departed.

We did Slow Stick ribbon cutting today.  Doug towed a crepe paper ribbon while Ken, Leonard and I tried to cut it.  We each hit it, but just with our wings so it was still in one piece when we quit, but we sure had fun!

Steve K. has been bringing donuts on Fridays, I volunteered to get them today.  They were the only thing that ended up on that new table.  Steve K's glider is on the next table and that is Audrey in the background.  It was sure nice to have a sunny day for our flying.  Remember those red geraniums we planted yesterday?  When we got home today most of the flowers were gone, Vera suspects the deer made a visit for a little snack.
