Flew again for the 1st time in a few weeks ❤️ Life has been lifeing but trying my best to just take it all in stride. And flying always makes it better.

EF-1 tornado confirmed from this tornado warned storm a few days ago. Thankfully no injuries reported but lots of damage... this was 10km from our cottage in the Laurentians (Quebec)

You know when your kiddos are obsessed with Twisters if..... their cake requests are both weather-related. I even made the anemometer out of two bite brownies wrapped in black fondant (with one supported by a kitkat 😋)

Any day you get to go fly is a good day. But a day when you get to go flying with a friend, in his aircraft, and on top of it all be a 1st time in a low-wing... that makes for an especially great day.
