CJ & Autumn Miller

This weekend we were balloon race fans! We went to the balloon glow & woke up bright & early for the competition Sunday before church. We sat in a field at the airport with our lawn chairs & coffee to enjoy the cool morning air & what ended up being some friendly balloon bumping. The goal of our obstacle was for the pilots to navigate to & drop objects into a target & ring a pole with what looked like a hula hoop. Only one balloonist rang the pole - His prize was $10,000!
CJ, Ruedi, & I annualed the airplane this weekend. I spent Friday afternoon at the airport with the guys & took off the inspection panels. Saturday, after a good garage sale trip, we worked on the airplane in the Texas heat. It was fun to be back in the maintenance hangar again & we had a good time working together. We bummed lunch from the Pilots for Christ meeting & made a Sonic happy hour run for slushes. Hey- it was Saturday- lots of breaks are accepted.

We are dog sitting for our friends, Kevin & Faydra. Their black lab, Gus is our new best friend. He is laying at my feet right now keeping me company. CJ gave him a bath in the back yard today & wore him out playing catch. Gus gets too excited for you to pet him. All he wants to do is lick! This morning CJtold Gus to lay down, but when he did he was so excited his body wouldn't stay still. He was rolling all over the floor in excitement- still "laying down" of course!
