This story is two fold:Â the first part is about my Grandson James and the second part the plane sighting my neighbor Elizabeth and I experienced one day while sitting on our front patio.
Â
James traveled extensively with his Mom and Dad and Sister Veronica when he was quite young. This may have peaked his interest in planes. Early on he was most interested in the English Concord. All of my friends and neighbors knew of this interest. One gentleman that lived at the end of my row flew on the Concord and when he returned home gave me the kit that is given to all passengers flying on this super jet. It was in a leather zipper case and contained items to make the trip a pleasant and comfortable one. James was thrilled to receive it and treasurers it still today.
Â
OK now Elizabeth and I were sitting out one very hot afternoon. The apartments in this complex are just two stories and it is has four sides of apartments and a Court Yard and beautiful pool in the center.Â
We were chatting away when I spotted the biggest plane I had ever seen. It looked like it was going to take the roof off the apartments  across the way.Â
There was no one around to prove that we saw this but it came out in the paper the next day that the Queen of England had arrived yesterday on the Concord. It landed in Tampa International Airport. Elizabeth and I were so excited but no one believed us that we actually saw the plane that close.Â
Â
I think my brain is stuck on planes because writing this reminds me of three other plane experiences I have had. Don't worry I will get onto current events again and save the plane stories for a rainy day.

Love and prayers from here to there
