The aviation topic is so interesting as well..my father flew a Spitfire during WWII over North Africa and with his unfortunate death when I was 2 years old I never had the opportunity to learn about all his stories.

I love the vintage planes as much as the guys do... my daddy was a WWII vet and a Colonel in the Army and planes were a big part of my growing up... Jack is a pilot as well and flew the police helicopter before he retired as a police officer for SLCPD... we love the Confederate Air Force too!... Hill Air Force Base is just to the north of us, and they too have a wonderful museum of old War birds... Jack and the gardener would get along great!... love all of your beautiful photos, I must show Jack... and how cute Mason is posing by the plane... so happy you made the gardeners dream come true... you should go on a ride too!... my favorite era is the 40's... and I get so sentimental hearing stories like this, looking at those beautiful old airplanes... listening to the Big Bands... I should have been born 100 years before I was... much love to you, thanks for sharing!... xoxo Julie MarieJulie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4929511054591326802.post-15087398093217898942012-05-22T06:38:58.368-07:002012-05-22T06:38:58.368-07:00Now that was a GIFT!

He had mentioned that one of my gardens needed to be refreshed, and being the attentive wife I am, I gave him his wish. I would imagine your husband was a little more grateful for your thoughtfulness. Can't wait to hear what he gets you.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.com
