grumble

my day's plans got changed for me, today
and i didnt mind a bit
mom called and reminded me of the event at the airport today
JAARS and wycliffe translators
Jungle Aviations and Radio Services
plans were made to meet her, dad, and one bro and his family there
and as i walked in from the parking lot, here is my other bro and his family
it was a very nice family outing
only one missing was my single bro
and mom didnt know why he didnt want to come
woulda been nice, had he been there too

my 2 yr old niece was gonna go for an airplane ride with d
and her 4 yr old sis just threw a bawling fit
she did NOT want A to go up in that plane, its MUCH to SCAREY
she was quite thoroughly panicked for A
and as it turned out, A didnt go, and neither did d or the rest

dad sure enjoyed watching the planes
i'm thinking the highlight of his life was his yrs up north in VS
he's always wishing to go back to canada
talking abt moose, and canoes, and flying in, and regalling us with his Indian words that he remembers

there was a demo by the pilot of some of the manuevers they use in the amazon jungles
there was skydiving, (which i don't think had anything to do with JAARS, but was an airport function)
helicopter rides
food
games and activities for kids
several info stands on translating

((btw, right now its raining quite hard))

oh, and heres a grump of mine
totally irritated me
i was so upset
checked my online banking last night
and realized i had over drawn my debit card
for a 5.00 mcdonalds meal
grumble snort
that means i paid 37.00 for a value meal
