The Blues are still grounded due to budget issues, but I guess they are doing some flying even though no shows.

I agree, the P-51D is a work of art, and in my opinion, it’s still the most beautiful plane ever built. My Dad, a Navy man who flew an F4-U always argued this point. The British Supermarine Spitfire is right up there, too.

They really do look alike. So neat that they're in the same handmade dress. Precious!

Cool pic Dave. Donna saved baby clothes for 30 years??Yes, we remember shag carpeting. A friend of my moms (late 80's) still has it in her house. It looks like green grass. I was shocked to see it in a house. That stuff just didn't wear out.

changes we made. The old stuff was soft and plush and had become uncomfortable:

This is the new stuff. It is more tailored, a little more firm, but has down filling so its very comfy:
