Well there's not a lot of new news.... Let's see.... Liz is swimming everyday, she has been off the cigarettes since before Christmas. We got the grandkids swimming lessons for Christmas. They started last Wednesday; Liz and Amanda took all three boys but the twins were not able to participate because they need 1:1 in the water and that's not possible with three kids and two adults. So guess who get to go swimming every Wednesday for nine weeks. Yea Me!! We have a beautiful Rec. Centre just a few blocks from us The Caldel Centre. It has a swimming pool, three or four gyms two skating rinks and a huge library.
I did really enjoy my flying lesson. It was an introductory lesson that took about an hour. I actually flew the plane for about 45 minute. I had an excellent instructor we did a bunch of things like turns, following landmarks like the river and the hiway. Explained to me about take offs and landings, how the gauges work. I was involved in pretty much all aspects of the flight.
This organization offers three different kinds of licenses, Recreational, Private and commercial. The private is about $10,000. I'm not sure about payment plans but I do know that some people are taking over two years to get the license.
I'm still debating with my self if it is something I want to commit to. The two main conserations are the money and the time. The instructor suggested that to get the hours in (under a year) you should be in the air at least three time a week. The cost is $105/hr for the plane and $50/hr for the instructor. So $155/hr three time a week is $455 a week. I don't smoke quite that much.
Stephanie has started her classes at the U of C. So she is very busy these days.
What happened with SGI and Doug's car? Did they write it off? What kind of car are you looking at? I hope everything works out.
Very nice web site Donna!
All the best
Jim & Family
