Girl Guides Aeronautics Badge

I had an awesome day today.  The weather was perfect, I was feeling great….I was asked to fly to the Burlington Airpark to speak with about a dozen Girl Guides to help them with their aeronautics badge.  I took off at around 12:30 from St. Catharines, landed at Burlington and waited for everyone to arrive.  We did a little lesson on basic aviation, safety, rules of flight, airplane components and surfaces, etc.  What a great group of kids.  They were especially excited when we went out to Vyctor to check out how he flew and to sit it the cockpit.  All the while, giving little lessons and pointers:

And the excitement of sitting in the cockpit, headset on, seat-belt fastened, radio of local flight traffic airing over the speaker:

A very nice person from the Spectrum Flight Training took this awesome group photo:

I was graciously presented with this awesome certificate (signed by the Girl Guides) and a yummola box of Girl Guide cookies (which accidentally fell open after dinner tonight, and a cookie or two ended up in my belly):

Totally great day!  I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I hope I feel this good tomorrow.  I have the Walk for MS, starting at 9:00.  As with the last eight or nine years, I’m going to fly over all three Walk sites in Niagara as they take place.  I can’t wait!  I’m so appreciative of everyone who supported me with my fundraising goal.  Thank you again!

Ok, where are the kitties you ask?  Well, I went to the States the other day with my mother and I accidentally bought this little outfit for them.  Oops:

Afterwards, I put Peanut back into his aquarium and asked him if he enjoyed the clothing experience.  Clearly from his expression, he did:

Too bad she doesn’t have more expression in her face….tee hee.

Today’s symptoms: Felt so good after feeling really poorly yesterday (weak, lots of MS aches and pains….blah).   I’m pretty sure tomorrow is going to be good – yup!  Gonna feel good….no prob.
