The Planes, The Planes, The Planes! And this and that's with no- cry -baby attitude night!

Who remembers who said a facsimile of that?
Sure you all do, that is any of us who also recall the TV show Fantasy Island that I understand is currently playing on TV Land and it originally ran from 1978 to 1984.
The actual line was; “The plane! The plane!” which weekly the character of Tattoo (Herve Villechaize) would say at the opening in each and every show his way of announcing the guests to Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban). A wonderful vacation spot where all dreams were made or broken; a bit like Florida, hmm? NO broken dream here.

But our planes that we feel the urge to mention in that iconic way are the yearly ones that we are in the flight path of for the Punta Gorda Air show and of course there are many, not just one. And this year the Blue Angels are back for the show.
The opening ceremonies will be beginning tomorrow at eleven A.M. and the price for admission is to see them up close and personal is $25 for adults and $5 for children and I understand that parking is five bucks too; it runs both Saturday and Sunday.
I do believe much of it does go to charity via booths set up there.
But we, being as thrifty as usual, can see the best of the program from our own backyard if we so wish to.

I suppose we are spoiled from all those years living in NJ, near Lakehurst where it was a military base and every year the air shows were free, we lived twenty minutes away and took our sons there yearly. And when Hubby was a deputy here we were given free admission, since he would be working there on the tarmac in his community bicycle capacity.

Today, we also heard from number one son and my old chum via landline, wow, what a concept and very nice!
Voices of real people on the other end of an old fashioned, well not really that old fashioned since our cordless phone is less than a month old and has more bells and whistle’s than we have seen in a very long time, all built in!
Even old school chum was impressed when Hubby knew before she spoke that he knew who it was, since when he told me the area code; I told him right away that it was her!
Gosh, isn’t caller I.D. something?
And of course our son was plugged in too, but had not called since we got the new phone, and he too was impressed with the déjà vu ability that the phone gives to us as long as they are in it. But it does keep track of fifty numbers that we can install and even if not in it the numbers are recorded incoming ones too, so no more hang ups. That we have no way of knowing about or any people who changed their minds or just called for an annoyance, now I shout “GOTCHA!” There is of course also a voice mail too on it, why it is just like a cell but at home here.

You see, perhaps I am in the minority but have you ever wondered why someone might call and by the time you get to the phone they had hung up?
Well, now I can call them back or at least figure out whom they were if I don’t want to call them back.
I bet you all have been taking your own phones for granted and think that I am foolish to be so impressed by this new toy and how it works, hmm?
Sure we had all that on cell phones, even our elderly forever one, but not on our house landline/phone!

Apparently, pitchers of major teams enjoy imbibing a bit, actually one was on muscle relaxers but the other who hit the person was double the legal limit of alcohol consumption, and then causing havoc on the streets!
Two teams have their players facing criminal charges, one more hazardous here locally who seriously injured a seventy-two year old on a motorcycle and the other hitting just some parked cars.
Gosh guys what happened? The children are watching…BEHAVE, get cleaned up and change your nasty ways!

On that motherly advice allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS Last night we watched the Descendants and it was absolutely a two, make that four thumbs up big delight. George Clooney as a father and husband, wow what a concept, hmm?
Actually, he did it well considering him not being either himself... I truly wonder if Brad and Angelina may have given him some pointers with the daddy part.
