~Flying High at 40~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Boy, did Daddy have the surprise of his life coming.....

In case anyone doesn't know what the "Flying High at Forty" thing is about, I'll tell y'all.

Daddy has always wanted to be a pilot, so for his birthday we got him started
on his flying lessons. We wrapped several gifts that were
"clues" to his big present. In each gift was the next gift wrapped
inside it! He seemed clueless until finally
on his last gift he read the certificate saying he had
flying lessons waiting for him!
He was so surprised! He said he never expected it :)
Mama was quite pleased finally to pull something
like this off! He has taken several lessons and
if he keeps up at the rate he is going, he will have his
pilot's license in no time!
