In my last post I told you how my oldest son's plane was struck by lightning while flying over Oregon. He is a pilot for Federal Express and was flying through a snow storm. He thought his engine had blown up, because there was a loud noise and a huge flash of light that blinded him for a minute. It turned out that the wing had been hit and below are a couple of pictures. The lightning put a couple holes through the metal wing. You can see the size compared to his finger. He was able to land the plane with no problem - once he realized that the engine was still running! We are so thankful!!
We are visiting DS#2, DIL & Abigail now and I will be posting pictures soon. Last night was Abigail's 2nd birthday party. We were worn out by the time we got back to our camper. We're camping near where they live.
There is a giveaway for a new magazine over at Vignette in Stitches Blog. It's a new magazine about quilters and quilts - what else? Go over there to sign up for the giveaway.
Thanks to God for taking care of your son through that storm! Enjoy your visit with Abigail, and stay safe! ==="Love"
