Neenah - Day 2/Part 2
Yesterday afternoon we took Ella to the EAA Air Museum, in Oshkosh. I knew she was going to love this museum - but I had no idea how much!
The Wright Brothers plane as seen from the skyway.Ella wanted to fly it... but I kept a good hand on her!
Dr. John, Mom & Betty... Uh oh! Where'd ELLA go?
Oh! She discovered that Lindburgh ladies HAT!She said she wasn't trying to steel it - she just wanted
to "try it on"...
ummmmm.... NO!
(for the record, Dr. John thought I oughta let her)
Of course HE was also the one who said "no no no! Don'tget her down! She's being CUTE. I have to get a picture!
(and here, I was counting on HIM to keep her in line on
THIS visit!)
You know... Elephants aren't even allowed IN the museum.
All I wanted to do was keep us from getting kicked out!
All Ella was trying to do was figure out how to fly SOMEthing!
Anything... she wasn't picky!
But she thought this one was a little too small.I guess you do need to be able to get IN the cockpit to be
able to fly...
She wanted to know what those propellers were for anyway...we told her they have to be spinnin' for the plane to get off
the ground! Next thing we knew she was trying her best!
Thankfully the Spirit of St. Louis was waaaaay to high forher to get to! She was eyeballin' that baby! She thought
it looked JUST right for her!
But that was only until she saw...
THIS!Then it was all over!
She was in that cockpit faster than you could SAY cockpit!Pullin' the throttle, and pushin' ALL the buttons! The engine
started... the NOISE was incredible ... and security came running!
That was the end of our visit...
NO ELEPHANTS ALLOWED!!!
Oh well... we didn't really wanna see that museum anyway...

Poem A Day Ketchup
Yesterday's prompt was to write a poem about regret. So here it is!
Sorrowful am I
That time flies by
While I'm on vacation
Halfway across the nation
Where the hours must be shorter
By at least a quarter
And yet I am so stubborn
And there is no RHYME for stubborn
This challenge I will not give up
Yup!
And though it's not because I'm spiteful
This weeks poetry is frightful.
Not yours, of course... mine!
Because I'm just so behind!
Today's prompt is to write about travel.... SHOULD be easy, huh?
From Maryland I drove
on the wide open road
in the pouring down rain
past rivers and trains
To Wisconsin I went
My mind was hell-bent
to visit some friends
Now our fun never ends
But there's simply no time
to make silly rhymes
There's to much to do
with our whole motley crew
My time here is shrinking
And now I am thinking
This poem is done
I am off to have fun!!!

I'm somewhat surprised you and Ella weren't fighting over that hat.
And between chasing Ella and your MIL, I am surprised you are calling this a vacation!
I am glad you're having fun though!

Loved both the poems! Glad everything is going so well after the inauspicious start.
Our ladies' luncheon is tomorrow. Pray foe me!! Everything is clicking along well, but even so my nerves...get nervous.

What FUN! You KNOW I had to get DS 3 to look at this right away so that he could see what you were up to. He was drooling on his computer and wishing he could trade places with Ella!
