In my Daughter's Helicopter

:

In my Daughter's Helicopter

I went back home to Batesville, Arkansas, and met up with my wife Theresa. I stayed home for a couple days and then my wife and I drove down to Branson, Missouri, and waited for the world to fall apart like everyone else. But it didn't happen.

We then drove to Fort Rucher, Alabama, where we watched my daughter graduate from flight school. Being the proud father, I pinned her pilot's wings on her. We stayed at Fort Rucher for three days where I met her fiancé. It felt kind of weird sitting in the helicopter that our daughter was flying.

My wife and I spent a lot of time together over the vacation. We watched a play at the theater called The Green Mile. I really enjoyed it.

I left for Bethel on Jan. 15, and got stuck there for four days. While I was over there I went to the cultural center. I also met a friend of mine from Bethel who was an ivory carver. I hadn't seen him in five years.

When the weather finally cleared I came out to Russian Mission first, then I flew out here to Marshall. I had an enjoyable Christmas vacation, though.
