Fun Sunday

It's been several weeks since we've been flying, so we took off for a quick flight over to Siler City just for fun this morning. While in the air, a friend from Apex heard us on the radio. He said several of the folks from Cox Field (off US 64 in Apex) were going to head over to the Carthage Airport for lunch....so after a couple of practice landings at Siler City, we headed south to Carthage.

There is a little restaurant there adjacent to the airport called the Pick'n'Pig....obviously a BBQ place. We've been there a few times - they've got quite a big following -both from the flying and the local population.



You just get out of your plane and walk over to the restaurant. 5 planes from Cox field were there in addition to us. They pushed a couple of tables together and we had a nice visit.


Strangely, we ran into our neighbors, Ramsey and Dottie there also....it's a very small world!!


Beautiful flying day (beautiful day, period!) View from the front of the plane on landing at home.


Snapped a shot of the runway - click to enlarge - let's you see where everyone is on the airport.


After the flying, Pat and Diane invited us up for a dip in the pool - Miranda and Richard joined us.


A.D. the airport dog was there, of course.




Lindy came over too....





Yep, it was a fun Sunday!!

That's a pretty good life you got there Karen! Thanks for the labeled view.........it puts it all into perspective, especially since I've met your neighbors now.

Looks like a lot of fun - we went to the pool for the first time last night - it was 72 degrees - pretty warm...

Love,

Yeah, whatever my book club, blogging buddy...while you were playing, flying, eating and pool-side, I was cutting grass! (hee, hee!! It was a glorious day! Glad you kids had such a good one! And actually, it wasn't a bad day for cutting grass!)

Will miss you greatly if you don't make it Monday! Still hoping you can sneak in for the last half hour!
