It’s rescue squirrel season at our house again…

Soooo cute!

It's fun to see that Chippy and Ginger have emerged from their winter nests and are still enjoying our back porch too. We've lost count of the gray squirrels in around. It's a little harder to tell who's who. We haven't seen Chungus in quite a while. 😢 We hope she's well and just moved on.

This handsome young man cleaned up nicely for the prom.

Can you believe THIS was a design for a supersonic vehicle…?!

I will let you make your guess as to if you think it succeeded or not…? Now I know where we got the ideas for the shape of alien craft, haha. This was actually a hovercraft. I imagine it contributed to the rumors…

This was the space program while I was growing up!

It was fun to be able to walk through this mock up of the Space Shuttle. I remember having toys and models. I remember being in boys health class my freshman year when the Challenger exploded. I remember watching as many of the lift-offs as I could. I remember sitting on the roof at night and watching it streak across the sky in orbit.

I have to say, they make an adorable couple!

Hanna’s Senior Prom

She decided to take Andy and we were invited to take some pics. This is one of my faves!

The Cold War!

I enjoyed all the reflections in the presidential planes hanger!

That is such a beautiful ugly!

My favorite gun…!

The 30mm cannon on the A-10 Wart Hog! That's about an inch and a quarter in diameter!

65 rounds per second!

Check out the brrrrrrrrrt sounds in this video compilation. Note that most of the time, the rounds hit you BEFORE you even hear the gunfire or the aircraft…!
