People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

Par loves Happy Bottom!!!

It never ceases to amaze me ...how much I have to learn. How many opportunities are slipping though my fingers every day. There aren't too many 40 year-olds that can boast to having exceptional grandparents still living. Yes you read that right...my GRANDparents. I want to share a story about my grandparents that I learned just a few weeks ago, one that I should probably have known for years.



My grandfather "Par" was a fighter pilot in the Air Force for many years, something I am extremely proud of!!Check Spelling I have seen different planes that he has flown throughout my life, heard a few of the stories he has shared.....and loved every memory he has shared! Par married his highschool sweetheart Gladys, but we call her "Marme". She is a classy, talented, caring, and most wonderful person. To know Marme and Par .....is to love them. You can't possibly know them without loving them!

Par flew some amazing planes. The one I most recently learned about was named "Happy Bottom" ....amazingly enough it is just another name for "Glad A$$". I didn't know this --until just recently. Par never flew with out Marme right beside him! Their example of love and dedication to each other even today is an amazing thing to behold. What a great legacy they have given to me. Thank you!! I love you both.
