It's Airplane Day!

on
A Boeing 727 for your enjoyment
Or Memorial Day, whichever you prefer to celebrate.  I think my Dad, who is the real reason for celebration today, likes having both on his birthday.  It used to be that Memorial Day was always on his birthday, May 30.

I am so glad I get Fred Nielson to be my dad!  He is good and righteous and gave an entire suite of genes to my son, so I'm reminded of all his good things regularly.  His love of history, cute ears, distinctive walk, understated and concise way of expression are wonderful on Wyatt.  And Willa and Griffin both got the navigation gene, which I was happy to pass along.

Thank you for loving me, Dad.  It builds great confidence and a desire to choose the right when your dad thinks you are practically perfect.  You do that just right.  I love you so!  Have a wonderful 79th today!

    My family definitely needs to find airplanes to see for today. Thank you for dubbing it "Airplane Day". We are so lucky to have this man in our lives. I once got in trouble with Bill for calling Dad a "good man."

    B: Your dad is NOT a good man. He's a great man.

    It really is perfect that you posted a Western Airlines 727 (though a 737 would have been good too)...maybe the most perfect thing you've ever done :)

    Thank you for this blog today to honor me. You know that you honor me every day because of the way you live your life --Thank you. For the discriminating -- the displayed airplane is a DC-10. It only has 1 engine at the back. The 727 had 3 noisy ones at the back. I enjoyed both of these airplanes, as well as all the others. There aren't any that I didn't enjoy. Love from Mr. Hugs

    Hahaha! That cracks me up that it isn't even a 727. I googled Western Airlines 727 and didn't even look closely. Oh well! Thanks for the correction, Dad.
