In any case... I'm going to squeeze in a quick Wednesday Medley post today!
1. Tell us about the first airplane ride you took and do you like to fly?
My first time on a plane was in January 2011, when I went to Cuba with friends for Kerry-Lynn & Jeff's wedding. I was very nervous being my first time flying, and my first time going south, but after losing two of my cousins suddenly the summer before, it was very much a "life is short, seize the moment, live each day to the fullest" time in my life. I remember sitting beside Brittany and holding her hand (kind of funny that I was taking comfort and consolation in the flying experience of a kid who was much younger than me lol!), and she kept reassuring me that every bump and movement was normal.
I have flown several times since (once to Florida, twice to Nova Scotia) and while the flights have been mostly uneventful, I am always very happy when we land safely and I can move on to my destination. I'm not a fan of the airport rigmarole or flying in general, but I take it as a necessary step to get me somewhere fun & exciting (or back home again, which I'm usually very happy to return to!)
2. Have you ever gone hang gliding and was it on the beach with a power boat, or from a mountain with only the wind and your body?
That would be a hard no on the hang gliding. lol! If I was to do it, I'd be more tempted to try the behind-the-boat style. I've watched them gliding off the Gatineau Hills near where my sister lives, and I think I'd be panicking. I'd be so worried about where I'd land!! (Maybe they have more control over that than I realize?)
3. Have you ever gone kite flying and with whom?
I can't say kite flying memories are rushing to me. I'm sure I did it as a kid, but the few times I tried, I don't feel it was very successful.
4. Experimental aircraft is quite popular as a hobby. Have you or anyone you know ever constructed a flying machine and did you ride in it?
I definitely don't know anyone who has constructed a flying machine lol. I have an uncle who owns an airplane, but I have never been up in it (and I don't think I would want to, either!!)
5. Another big hobby is Radio Controlled Airplanes. Have you ever seen them flying or tried your hand at it?
Nope! BUT - there is a guy who usually shows up at our office every summer asking if he and his friends can fly their radio controlled planes in one of our fields. I have never witnessed them at it, though. I have never even seen a drone. I apparently don't have much experience in this department! lol!!
6. Tell us something about your week.
This was supposed to be Crochet Week. I told anyone that would listen that I planned to devote every evening and all weekend to crocheting items to enter in the Shawville Fair. I was supposed to be doing this all summer, but... here we are, a week away from the Fair, and hardly anything to show for it. And so far this week? Much of the same. I am working on a baby blanket, but I haven't spent much time on it. I'm hoping that maybe I can get it done tonight, then move on to a dish cloth & towel set, maybe another toddler sunhat, and possibly a women's scarf (all smaller projects that I thought I might be able to get done in a short amount of time). Here's hoping I get hit with some cro-jo soon!!!
