Flight

"The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? — it is the same the angels breathe."    — Mark Twain

Last October at the silent auction of Eat to the Beat, I bought a sightseeing flight.  The flight was supposed to be over Toronto, but as the pilot is my friend Ron, I asked if we could change the venue to Belmont Lake where Ron and his wife have a cottage across the lake from Cath and Stan's lake house.  Today I took the flight in Ron's seaplane.

Accompanied by my sister Cathy, we soared over the Kawarthas: Belmont Lake, Round Lake, Cordoba Lake and Crow Lake.  It was breathtaking.  A bird's eyeview of this majestic land was a great beginning to the Canada Day weekend.  It reminded me of just how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful country where there is still so much unspoiled land.  It was a great experience to share with my sister.

Life is good.
