This morning Patrick 'took off' for a special flight. Since about the second week of school he has been flying 2 to 3 times each week, but this flight is with an FAA inspector rather than his regular instructor. Today's flight is a check flight to make sure he is on target with where he should be at this point in his training. Go Patrick!

Another Green Up Vermont Day is in the books, despite the rain.    Except for two years (out of town for one and forgot the other), we have been participating in GUVD every year for sixteen years.  We've lived in Vermont almost seventeen years, but GUVD was over by the time we moved here in 2000. The kids have participated every year.  First, in baby backpacks when they were too little to walk and help.  But as soon as they could walk, we put gloves on their hands and rubber boots on their feet.
