Inspiration is one thing that I've been unable to find for blogging. I've been keeping busy but I feel my daily stuff hasn't been blog worthy.

I must tell you about a conversation I had with my grandson Campbell whose birthday was on Monday. I called him Monday evening to wish him a happy birthday. He had not received my present to the conversation went like this.

"Hi MawMaw, are you going to send me a present?"

"Yes sweetheart, it's in the mail and you should get it tomorrow. Will you forgive me for getting it in the mail late?"

"How much was Carson's legos?"

"They were about $100".

"Does PawPaw have bills?"

"He has a few."

"Will you ask him to give you bills so you can buy me Legos like Carson?"

"Don't you like the Legos I got you for Christmas?"

"Ask PawPaw to give you bills."

I got both boys the large Lego sets for Christmas. For Carson I got the Agents which has over 1000 pieces and for Campbell the Indiana Jones because he loves Indiana Jones, which had about 800 pieces. I felt I needed to get both boys large sets so Campbell wouldn't feel slighted. After talking to Nicole I learned Carson, who is 8, put his set together in just a few days and was able to play with it and Campbell has been unable to assemble his set. She said Carson was going to help Campbell put his set together then he'll be able. I felt so bad.

Wednesday was my day to pick Kati up from school. When we got home we were trying to decide what to do. I don't have toys here for her to play with so I suggested we go to Walmart and pick up a few things for her to keep here. When we pulled into the parking lot Amber called and said she was on her way to get Kati because it was snowing in Charleston and she was afraid it would be bad to drive later. I told her we just pulled into Walmart so she said she would meet us there. By the time we finished our shopping there was about 2 inches of snow. The wind was blowing and we could hardly see a few feet in front of us. I live maybe 2 miles from Walmart so I knew I could make it home, but I was worried about Amber and Kati until we crossed I-64 and there was barely any snow. That was less than 1/2 mile. Guess the weatherman knows what he is talking about when he says snow north of I-64. lol Thursday morning we woke to about 2 inches and since the temperatures have been low the snow is still here.

Chuck Yeager Flies Under Bridge & Friday-Fill Ins

Friday Fill-Ins Is Below

(drawing from the Charleston Gazette-Mail)

Today marks the 6oth anniversary of Chuck Yeager flying under the South Side Bridge in Charleston, West Virginia. The entire story was this past Sunday Gazette Mail. I learned more about this event in this article than I ever knew.

I wasn't aware this historical event was kept a secret for many years. As the people were watching the boat racing that afternoon along the Kanawha River, an announcement came over the loud speaker saying Captain Chuck Yeager would be making a pass over the city. The crowd looked high in the sky, but seconds later the F-80 came out of nowhere and flew under the South Side Bridge. There wasn't any pictures taken because this all happened so fast.

One of the spectators was a newspaperman. When he got to his office to write about what had happened he received a call from the military asking what he would be writing. They told the reporter if anything unusual occurred it would be a violation of the Air Force and FAA regulations. Therefore, news of what happened that day was only shared by those who actually witnessed this flight. This is what was written in the newspaper the next day.

"Capt. Charles Yeager of Hamlin, the first man to exceed the speed of sound in a Bell XS-1 jet, buzzed the course shortly after 3:30 p.m. as he started back to his base in California.

"Officials present said his speed when he flew over the river probably was more than 600 miles an hour. As he flew over in a jet Shooting Star, he did three slow rolls before disappearing from sight."

Chuck Yeager was born and raised in Hamlin, West Virginia, just 20 miles from where I live.

If you have time, read the entire story. It's very entertaining.
