My mom's sister Blenda Fouse passed away this last Sunday peacefully at home. The memorial is tomorrow in Manhattan, KS- a mere 370 nautical miles away.

Guess what we're doing tomorrow.

Yep, you're right!

We're planning to fly 3 hours to be with family and pay respects. Then fly 3 hours back home. Just in time for the kids' bedtime.

Friday will be business as usual with work and kids at summer "camp".

Such is the life of a private pilot.

Stay tuned for details this weekend.
