Thursday - January 30

Rainy, cool day in Marathon......met Jane and Joe for breakfast at our new favorite morning spot to eat - Sunset Grille!    Jane and I shared the Bananas Foster (Philip had this on Sunday) - WONDERFUL!!!
 
Mark and I ran a few errands - I  enjoyed one more shopping fix at "Marooned in Marathon".    Did a load of laundry and read and finished my book - "No Angel" by Penny Vincenzi - EXCELLENT!!!
 
Happy, happy news that Marty (neighbor and friend) came thru his triple bypass surgery well today!    He'll be in the hospital 3-5 days, but so thankful this part is over!!!
 
Jane and Joe came over in the afternoon with a few things from their fridge/freezer as they are cleaning out, packing up and heading towards home tomorrow.  
 SAD  smiley face here!!!
 
Misty rain coming down so we sat under the tiki tent and played 5 games of euchre with the guys winning 3.    Sure will miss them....soooo very much fun this month with laughs, laughs and more laughs!     Wishing them safe travels till we're together again in a few months!

J and J were to take a bi-plane ride today over Marathon....but canceled due to the rain!   Bummer!!!
We had planned to be on "Old Seven" with our bikes and wave to them!
 
Our friends, Paul and Kathy were to fly into Fort Myers today - flight was canceled cause of the mess in Atlanta.    Then it was rescheduled for tomorrow and that has now been canceled.    HOPING for Saturday.....but more snow and ice coming!    Just crazy, crazy!!!!!
 
Happy Luke who is getting 2 new teeth!
 
And wanted to share this YouTube video which a friend sent!  Sooo impressive!
 WOW - WOW- and more WOW!!!
 
At Arrowhead Stadium....As you know the budget cuts have eliminated the military flyovers at large events.  Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes and that decided they'd volunteer to pick up the slack.  They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48 guys signing up to join in.  If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event.  One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness.  The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest formation flight ever.
