I love Airplanes of All Kinds.

That Are More Loud Than
The On Board Announcements!

This was a lovely trip I Took
Flying Over The Canadian Rockies
And Into Sea/Tac.

  I love the capture from the sky, Lulu, it's crystal clear, and you were obviously lucky to get a good seat! You should see the view over London, just divine, with Tower Bridge, and all their famous buildings!
I LOVED Delta 80's flight safety video too, laughed at all the big hair-dos. It's very clever!

  Hi Everyone!!!

I'd love to have wings! WOW! Airplanes are surley the next best thing for me. Heights spook me but for some reason I love flying in planes. Go figure! :D

If a person books early or gets to the airport early they can secure window seats. (That would be me!). I get them on the side of the Rockies away from the sun, etc., etc., so I can try and get some good photos. Maybe I will share a few more this month on here? :D

Wish we could all fly together somewhere. We'd have to sit Monnie down with her own wonderful bottle of wine and pamper her is all! Lots of cheese and crackers, too!

Debbie that sounds so beautiful. I hope you took photos??? You are more than welcome to share some here! My threads are a place where all are welcome to share what they like.

Thanks all and HAPPY SPRING TIME!

-Laura :D

P.S. I WOKE TO THE SOUNDS of the ROBIN RED BREASTS singing! They have returned!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

  Good afternoon, Pompadora!
I love your window-seat view of Seattle, and am so glad you caught a day with various cloud spots between the plane and the city. Talk about a 3-D look! Wonderful!
Equally enjoyable is Delta's In-Flight Safety Video. So many chuckles, especially those involving the Exit doors... Guess that means I really want to be near them in case the plane shifts into Total Dive Position!!
I'm happy to hear the Robin Red Breasts are back serenading you, at long last. I hear George singing, too: "Here Comes The Sun"...
HAPPY SPRING TIME to you, my friend!

  Thank you Mare! I watched that funny video about 4 times and noticed new things each time.

Do you remember the series called DEXTER where this brother and sister work for the police department? Well SHE is on board this flight and to the right of her is this black guy. He has an afro. Well they show them again a few seconds later and his afro grew. Then they show them a few seconds after they and his afro is huge! Lol...OM GOSH! I just got the biggest bang out of that youtube! :D

I can't even begin to tell you have happy I am today hearing our Robins singing. WOW! They stopped when the snow came back by 9am. Now they are trying to stay warm in the trees until it passes and melts. I put out a bunch of bread to the backyard but the crows came. I hope they saved something for our sweet Robins.

YES! Here comes the sun! I am a sunshine person. As you know all Californians are! :D

Thank you for visiting and for your uplifting message!
Love, Pom-Tree

  If you want to see that funny part it's at 4:29 on the tape and on. The same black guy is the flight attendant they show a moment later, too. It's so funny! :D

  Pom, I just watched the Afro grow, and it IS funny! Hope a lot of other people check that video out. So clever.

BTW, do you have a youtube link to send friends outside bp's community?

  You bet! Just copy/pasted this onto an e-mail and on their end when they open your e-mail will convert to a blue link that they can open from their mail. :)))

It just gets more and more comical the more I watch it.

Another funny thing is that guy that has a red sand castle making kit or jello mold on his head that he puts under the seat in front of him....and another guy that does the same with x-box TOGGLES (Lol...no way could a person use a big x-box on a plane). :D Just that whole thing! The girls that switch seats in the aisle to clear the path because of their big haired pony tails...So darned funny.

  Hi Wm and Mr Tree! Did you boys watch the youtube video I attached here? It's really quite funny! Mary and I and others discuss the antics of it up above! :D Thanks for your visits!!!

* * *

WELL Look what the camera dragged in! If it isn't Patricia! :D Howdie Lady! It's so good to see you!

Well, I am sad to hear you wont be making your annual trip up to us but I am glad Canada will still be graced with your and Rogers presence this summer. Will you be able to take the trailer to the Island? I hope so! You have to take a vehicle Ferry to get there.

Maybe next year you will make it here again and we can camp together? You know where we will be! We booked the exact same spot as you saw last summer! :D We were hooked once we realized that the Elk hang out there.

Big hugs to ALL visitors here and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TODAY!!!!

xoxo

  Hiya, Pom!
Since you were kind enough to give me the airplane safety video info, I will now return the favor, and solve the Mystery of the Pyramid Hat for you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt30UnzRWw

This is a u-tube video for "Whip It"...from approx. 1982. The group's name was DEVO.

Enjoy! :-D

P.S. I even danced to this at a restaurant's bar/dance club...Memories...
Time to sleep! It's 11:30 AM!
