Orientation Flight 3/27/2010

Conner had his first orientation flight with the Md Civil Air Patrol. They left Easton Airport headed to Crisfield. When they reach altitude, Conner will take over the controls, learning a series of maneuvers. After landing in Crisfield Conner will sit back and relax as another cadet takes control on the way home.

Smiles all the way around this morning!

Civil Air Patrol

The life of the knees

I have been busy healing. I am 12 days post op and happy that I am getting out and about. I am working part time and trying my best to rest in between. The arthroscopy left only small scars. Still a little swollen but working on it. I started physical therapy yesterday and will work hard to get the left knee fixed in a couple of months.

Here are some pictures from my trip to the desert. It was 75 degress and just beautiful. It is hard to believe that there is snow on the mountains in the background. Cliff had fun running around with a couple of hairy friends. We have had enough rain that more flowers are expected to bloom.
