Air Festival

I can't believe it's already November! We had a little cold snap last week, but its back in the 80's again. Halloween was fun…To celebrate, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Around here people sit out in their driveways and hand out candy. However, I didn't get to see any trick or treaters, because a friend invited me to dinner. We drove to Lafayette, and on the way we saw a beautiful sight: A sliver of a moon, with a planet hanging above it, and the sun setting below it. We stopped and tried to get a picture, but it was too dark. We had just continued on, when I saw these colorful lights swirling around above the trees. At first, I that it was just a light tower, then I thought it was fireworks, but as we got closer I noticed the lights were in formation. It was until the next day that I found out that they had been doing a Twilight Show at the airport and those were planes all lit up in colored lights!

The library was closed Saturday, for All Saints Days, but we had our annual Friends of the Library Book Sale at the Community Center. I went in the morning and got a couple of Dan Brown books. Then, I went with Stephanie and Rosie to PHI's Company Bar-B-Q. PHI is the helicopter company that Jared works for and it's right next to the Lafayette Airport. I feasted on red beans and rice and spicy Cajun burgers. After lunch, Stephanie and I walked over to the airport for the 2008 Sertoma Cajun Air Festival. It was so much fun. They had simulator rides and demonstrations and you could tour the big military planes. Do you know how much I love planes? I just get a thrill watching them fly! I got to watch a F15 take off right in front of me-it was so cool! I puttered around in a helicopter and then checked out the old cars. Finally, we went back to PHI and watched the Thunderbirds formations from there…

Anyway, life is wonderful-work is going well and I’m finding time to have some fun too!

Hope everyone had a fun, safe Halloween!
