Good to Go Away, Good to Come Home

Traveling for thirty two hours door to door is not unusual these days. We are grateful to land safely and have all our luggage. Yes, you wish you could be Dorothy and just click your heels and be there without a hassle. One plane’s delay, creates a chain of challenges and snags but you know there’s your pillow waiting for you when you reach home.

It’s good to go away. It’s good to come home.

This airplane, Warbird, had just been a show near Washington D.C.

excerpt from her website

Warbird

This Navy plane was used by the US Navy from WWII to the end of the Vietnam War to train pilots and ground crews. When my husband join the Navy in 1970, he was in the last class of ground crew mechanics taught to maintain this engine. Today, she resides in Douglas Georgia with other retired War Birds.

This drawing was a challenge and it really pushed my skills.

“Warbird” has been accepted for the 2017 Colored Pencil International Show in Bethesda Md.

David W of WordPress asks-

  “Have you traveled anywhere exciting lately? This week, let’s see where you’ve been.”

Wanderlust

1.a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about.

I have to admit- sometimes I ‘ve a strong urge to be a homebody, too. 
This seems an easy challenge as I’ve been home for a week and a day, having just returned from Zagreb, Croatia.

Meet Zoe Papadopoulou

Meet Zoe Papadopoulou. My wonderful seat mate on flight from Munich  to Toronto. You know, I’m an anxious flier so it was lovely to be seated next to someone who loves the adventure and excitement of flying.

She’ll be singing  with two other well known Greek singers in a special concert this Friday in Toronto.
