We were at the SkyDive Arizona park in Eloy. Skydivers and parachutists come from all over the world to practice and learn the art of skydiving. Even the military. The aircraft takes them to 13,000 feet and they free fall for 1 minute before they open the chute. They are so high we can't see them leave the plane or free fall. We hear the plane and a moment later we see nothing, then one parachute and another and all of a sudden 10, maybe more, are in sight. What a pretty sight.
They also offer balloon rides but didn't see any there today. I would so love to go in a hot air balloon.

We planned to watch the Busch, opps, I mean Nationwide race (name change) but didn't have it on the cable here. So I followed it on the computer. Tony Stewart won.

We found a couple of rummage sales this morning. Can't believe how hard it is to find one after following the sign on the road. They need some Minnesota know how!!! You see a sign on the main road with an arrow and that is the last you know where to go. We just looked for stuff in the yard, maybe blocks away from the sign.

We enjoyed supper out. Went to a BBQ rib buffet. So good. Molly enjoyed the bones.

Thanks for checking in. Good night
