Air Race Classic

This weekend the Houston Chapter 99s(Women's International Pilot Association) will be hosting a Girl Scout Aviation Badge workshop. I love sharing the knowledge of flight! General Aviation has played a very important part in my life growing up and as an adult. At age 23, I worked at the Downtown Airport in Kansas City, Missouri and earned my pilot wings at the same airport.

Today I am writing about a friend of mine, who is about to fly her second time in the Air Race Classic, Linda Street-Ely. Linda is a wife, mother, grandmother, author, pilot and a professional in the corporate world.
Here is Linda demonstrating her love of aviation with the Girl Scouts at a workshop this past December at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum.

This photo shows Linda with Husband, Mike and guest at the Planes and Pasta fundraiser for the 99s at Hooks Airport.

These photos are Linda with her favorite passenger, Mike arriving at the Hobby Airport for a Wings & Wheels function. This year Linda will be flying the Air Race Classic starting June 22, 2010.

If you would like to help with some of Linda's fuel expense, please buy a T-shirt for $10.00 and the shipping is free.

Spring Travels

I am so ready for Spring. This week we will be going to our favorite city for some hot beignets at Cafe DuMonde. Since Katrina, we find ourselves constantly checking out the construction or lack of in our city of New Orleans.

Each year at Jazz Fest time we meet up with old friends-for seven years we get to see each other one time a year. It is a great season, just before all the humidty hits and the temperatures start rising. We love Oak Alley, French Quarters all the items reminding us of another time before we were even born.

Last year I enjoyed reading Julia Reed's book The House on First Street. Julia and husband had just moved into the house before the hurricane changed their lives. Now that I have read the book, I want to get to the house in the Garden District to see if it matches her book cover. I love the Garden District, beautiful homes.

I will try not to take so long in between my postings. Hope you have had a chance to check out my new shopping site here. I recently ordered new smocked curtain for the condo. So I will have some photos soon. April was a busy month...taxes, taxes.

Easter

Thank you for stopping by today. I have a nice relaxing treat for you. A wonderful cup of tea!

To start, you need a clean tea pot, fill the kettle with fresh cold water and heat to a boil. Pour the boiling water into the tea pot. Here you can drop you tea flower as shown or use your loose tea leaves to infuse for three to five minutes. Remove the tea.

Indulge, relax and enjoy your exquiste refreshing cup of tea!

You will be able to taste the difference. Just experiment until you find which tea you enjoy the best. I prefer the acai berry. It is a nice herbal with citrus fragrance.

Another favorite of mine are the orange spice tea leaves show here. Of course you can add sugar or as my grandmother did, add cream and lemon.

Take a break this Easter, enjoy your family and treat yourself to a cup of tea.

Spring Chic Decor

This weekend Spring will jum ahead, just like the daylight savings time. Is your house ready for the Spring? Why not give it a quick do over?

Attached is an example of the beautiful linen with daisy detail napkins, what a fresh look for your table. Looks great for those upcoming decorated eggs,Easter grass and colorful baskets.

Need a brush up on the home/office? Why not get in the spirit with the chic decor side of office accessories. These colorful memo pads and letter holders will help organize those tax papers, daily mail or just bill management.

Hope you and your family are planning a wonderful fun upcoming St. Pat's day celebration. I am looking for some St. Pat's day recipes, so if you want to share, please forward to me.

Love your Mate

Just like the glow in this young bride's face, love in her heart and guidance from God, we too can find these trademarks in our daily life toward our mate. I love the month of February, in other blogs I have confessed this is my favorite month.

Special cards, romantic dinners and some couples take fun trips this time of the year. So before this month ends, if you have not done something special for your mate. Do it now, do it quick!

Now I have to get busy, I have a craft show first weekend of March at the Women's Ministry for Salvation Army. Easter is just around the corner, I have got to decorate the house.

Love is in the air

I love the month of February! It is all about the heart, color of red and the 24/7 love of Jesus.
