World War II Bombers in the Air!

Yes, there really were World War II bombers in the air over Lubbock yesterday. My father would have gotten such a thrill out of seeing them. He was an anti-aircraft gunner in WWII and protected the bombers out every morning and in every evening at Snetterdon Heath AFB in England.

When I saw they were here Jim and I ran out to the airport to snap a couple of pictures of them. The historian told me they are in better shape now than when they were flying missions in the war. It was a great coincidence that they were here, because I have been teaching my 2nd grade enrichment group about WWII. We put the pictures up in our room with our other information about WWII.

You Wouldn't Believe it!

Yesterday I trimmed all the shrubs, did the weed eating, mowed the grass and am ready for the spring summer growing season. The trees have all sprouted their new leaves and at this moment it is 80 degrees. A Perfect Chamber of Congress spring day. There is however a weather warning for tonight. Winter Storm Warning. A high tomorrow of 39 and snow and wintery mix tonight--yeah right--we will see. I'll keep you posted.
