Today I got to go for a ride in my husband's boss's plane! Poul Sorenson has his own Cessna plane and this spring he got his pilot's license. Yesterday he took Harold for a ride, and today it was my turn. I have never been in a small plane like this, and it has been at least 25 years since I have flown in any commercial planes. So this was a very exciting afternoon for me! Poul took me over my house so I could get a nice photo of it, and we flew around some of the lakes here and around White Earth. It was a sunny, but hot day here, and a little warm in the plane, but I really enjoyed the trip! I would like to go again, but in the fall when the tree colors are pretty. That would be wonderful to see all the fall colors from that high up!

| One of the many views of farm land around here. |

| Here is my house, far away and a general view of our 100 acres. |

| A closer view of the house and yard, and some of our area. You can see my gardens, and the greenhouse, which looks tiny from 1200 feet up! The lake in the background is what we call Two Squaw Lake. Not quite half of it is on our property. |

| Another beautiful view! |

All in all, this was an afternoon I won't soon forget. Thank you, Mr. Sorenson for treating Harold and I to some exciting adventure this summer!
