Working on the plane

Hello,

On the way home from Salt Lake we got settled on the plane in Denver to begin the last part of the trip. Looking out the window two guys could be seen by the wheels. Then it was clear that one wheel had been removed. They then put on a new wheel complete with much better tread than the remaining tire.
After a while the pilot announced that we would be going as soon as they changed the tire and brought up the paperwork to be completed. In the mean time they even let someone else on the plane as we waited. What a deal for them since they had come in on a connecting flight. We must have made up 25 minutes in the air because we landed almost on time.

When the plane touches down the wheels move up quite a ways before there is any bump. Again new learning abounds. Landing was beautiful as the trees close to the airport appeared to be in their prime display. It is a gift. The best things in life are free, but do we believe that? Some days, yes.

On the road four deer were silhouetted against the sky as they moved from one side to the other. Beautiful sight again.

That was almost a month ago and our rain gauge had five inches of water in it. Now it has been dry enough that much of the harvesting is finished. So farmers can relax a bit.

Tonight we go to the high school play, Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat. Local entertainment can be good.
