Way too many days...

Oh my, it's been way too many days since I've made any entries here, where do they go?

Flew on Wednesday this week with my friend and her friend Steve, we had a great time, I flew Delta and S flew a pocket kite H had brought for him. It was a lot like my Kittie Kittie pocket kite but has no picture on it.

Doesn't look like today is going to be a good day unless it picks up some. May try a little later.   I hope to get to fly more this week end. It is so much fun, too bad Mother Nature doesn't  give us a little more wind on a daily basis.
Delta at home!

Today was very little wind....

Today had very little wind, actually it came and went, I have decided that flying in the morning is not a good time. After noon the wind seems to pick up and is a much better time to fly. I took Chicken Little out today for the first time, she was up for a couple minutes and then would land on the ground. A new wind would come up and she would be off, but as soon as the wind died she was down again.

Tomorrow is Church day so flying will be a must and it should be better in the afternoon.

Keep flyin', its fun, healthy and good exercise.

Yesterday Awesome!!!

Yesterday was an awesome day, got to fly at lunch and HV and I were able to get Stow and Stow in the air for a little while. The odd picture is of my new gloves, let me say that these are so nice to use instead of my little pair, no worries about string cuting my fingers to shreds, they are so nice, thank you again HV.  Today is a little iffy for flying but when I'm done here I am going to try. I think Chicken Little needs some time in the air. Let's see how it goes. Will let you know later.

Keep Flying, it's fun and great exercise.

Saturday, great day to fly...

Today was a good day to fly. 
Got Kittie Kittie to fly, she is a very active kite in the wind and lands softly when she crashes, but then goes back up very quickly, we had a good time.
Took Cranie out for a little bit, she is a little more difficult to keep in the air, did find something wrong, Cranie is in kite hospital, she has a broken leg (spar). Will have to get that replaced and get it back in her leg. She will probably be down for a little bit. 
Everyone is put away for now and resting in there little homes. Wind has calmed down for now maybe will go out again later. Saturday was a good day.

Time Flies - no pun intended...

Well, well, well, time flies when you're having fun, how old is that saying? It appears I have not posted since the 6th, that doesn't seem right but could beeee....

Went to the Shell Factory on Saturday and bought a new kite, one I can carry in my purse or even in my pocket, I haven't been able to get it in the air yet, but still trying. Was able to fly on Monday and had a great time, HV and I got out for a little while and then we had to go back to work....Tuesday I had to do taxes for people and didn't get out early enough to fly, did try before work and was able to get Cranie up for a few minutes, but due to the crashes to the ground she needed to be repaired, (got to do that today). Wednesday didn't get to fly at all, it was my birthday and got taken out to lunch by the staff in the office at Church and then dinner and then choir practice, no go....Thursday we spent the day at the hospital, my sister was having chest pains and waited all day for tests and results, it was probably too cold and too windy anyway. (She is home and found her stress tests to be normal).  Today there was very little wind and I had a "birds nest" to un-do and repairs to be done. Cranie is repaired and ready to fly.

On Wednesday I got 3 kite bags for my birthday as well as gloves to protect my hands, I put all my kites in the bags today as well, now everyone has a home. The back of the Jeep is now nice and  clean and no more kites strewn everywhere.

Tomorrow should be a good day to fly, it shouldn't be too cold and hopefully there will be some wind.

 

Keep flyin', its good exercise and lots of fun.

Time flys...

Time sure flys these days, I thought it was only a day or so since I've written anything, it's been since the 28th, a week and a half.....bad Kate, bad Kate...

Today was a good day to fly, HV and her friend and I got to go at lunch and flew for about 30 minutes, I really miss these times when I have to work or just not able to get to it...I try to make the time but doesn't always happen. Working gets in the way so often it drives me crazy. Let's see if I can get a decent picture so you can see what is happening.....

This is a re-run but this is the kind of day it was today.
