Rob’s Red Carpet Day was this Friday – it’s the day where he “graduates” to the next stage of the B-1 training – flying! He meets his new instructors and visiting family and friends have the opportunity to tour the jet and play in the simulator. It’s really neat!
I got to fly the simulator and only crashed the jet once! The B-1 can fly really low to the ground and maybe I wasn’t watching that I was still descending when I got close to the ground…
We also got to tour the jet and even sit in the cockpit! It’s really cool to see where Rob “works”!

I like nose art!
We also discovered more of downtown Abilene’s coolness! We went to Art Walk on Thursday night and toured some of the museums for free. The Grace has a really neat children’s area and a James Audubon exhibit right now! I also handed out a few more yoga flyers!
One of MY big highlights, though, was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A huge deal! A childhood dream come true!
…. I got to see Red River on the big screen! Not just any big screen – the refurbished old-time movie theater in downtown Abilene. And not just any old western – Red River! The movie I first watched with my grandma and have loved ever since! I felt all warm and fuzzy as the curtains parted and the black and white intro began with its timeless musical score. I was thrilled! Grandma, you would have loved it!!
