I meant to post these pictures last week, but Life took over somewhat. LOML and I made an accidental trip to Llano, Texas with a couple of friends - we were intending to go to Fredericksburg, but the weather closed in and we had to divert to avoid the low cloud and rain. We spent about fifteen minutes in Llano airport (where we met a visiting Alaskan bush pilot - very exciting!), and then had to turn right around and come back to Georgetown, because the weather front was moving even faster than we had thought and it was heading straight for us. All in all, very exciting - but some rather green passengers, because of the high winds and bumpy descent into Georgetown! We were very thankful to be back on the ground. I've adjusted to flying in small planes, but there are still some rather hair-raising moments now and then. Luckily, I don't have all that much hair to raise.

The accidental tourists
Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts and words! My grandfather is doing much better.

Great photos - I think flying in such a small plane would definitely take some getting used to! Eeek!
Love your little sweater clips attached to your collar there. Every time I see a pair now, I think of you :)
