A Guy, A Girl...An Airplane...and an Adoring Niece.

There are pictures to post...Chicago pictures...Easter pictures...but first there's the matter of Uncle Ian leaving for Red Lake tomorrow. It's another summer of flying fisherman into false glory...building flight hours...and seeing the girl that he wants to see every day, well, every day. Zoey is going to miss her Uncle Ian. She got terribly spoiled over the past six months.

Following dinner tonight she abruptly made her feelings known. "I love Uncle Ian, she said, "I'm going to miss him."

Tears from Mummy...smiles from Daddy...cursing the universe that she never mustered the wherewithal to say such a thing in front of her Uncle Ian. Someone likes her Uncle an awful lot. She won't be the only one missing Uncle Ian.
