We didn't turn the heat on last night and it was 60 degrees, in the house, when we awoke this morning. Most of the kids are still fighting some kind of bug (fever and cough) - so the dogs and chickens got fed, but not much love was administered.
We were going to the air show down the road today. It used to be held in Columbia but was moved to Camden, SC last year. The airfield is not big enough for jets to land so the planes on the ground are from WWI, WWII, and Korea. It is pretty impressive to see some of the WWII bombers take off. It is amazing how they get off the ground going so slowly. Every year the organization running the event, the celebrate freedom foundation, claims it is the largest patriotic event in the country. Two years ago they had the Doolittle Raiders 60 year reunion. This year they feature the Tuskegee Airmen 60 year reunion. Because the kids are sick - we won't be going this year, to their disappointment. However we still may see some planes as we are 16 miles north of the airfield. We will keep our eyes peeled. In the past this show has been a good time.
Being home today, I will finish building the pantry/hutch for Mrs. Curley; finish putting in our winter cabbage crop (if it is not too late already); and if I finish up early, will drive down to Bishopsville to get a 22 rifle to take care of the coyotes I mentioned a few days ago.
From the small holding in Bethune...
Eternal rest give to them O Lord! May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Oremus pro invicem!
