Tomorrow, there will be a flyover of the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery by WWII planes, in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Should be pretty cool. I can get a good view from the condo balcony, so will probably watch it from there.
"The planes participating in the flyover will include six C-47 “Dakota” transport planes, known as DC-3s commercially and one T-6 “Texan.”
The specific planes that will be at AOPA’s event are the Placid Lassie, Miss Virginia, Flabob Express, Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber, Clipper Tabitha May and Virginia Ann.
These are the aircraft that people would recognize that were the jump aircraft, the parachute aircraft that were part of the D-Day invasion in 1944..."

Yum...I do try to avoid bread, but every once in awhile I will make Kalamata olive bread in my bread machine.

Exciting day tomorrow. We may prowl around a cemetery. It's a beautiful one. We've been before, but not in the spring. Cameras will be at the ready. Watching the weather before we decide for sure.....
Mount Auburn Cemetery is the first rural, or garden, cemetery in the United States, located on the line between Cambridge and Watertown in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Boston. It is the burial site of many prominent members of the Boston Brahmins, as well being a National Historic Landmark. The cemetery is credited as the beginning of the American public parks and gardens movement. It set the style for other suburban American cemeteries. In the 1840s, Mount Auburn was considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in the nation, along with Niagara Falls and Mount Vernon. A 16-year-old Emily Dickinson wrote about her visit to Mount Auburn in a letter in 1846.] 60,000 people visited the cemetery in 1848 alone.The area is well known for its beautiful environs and is a favorite location for bird-watchers; over 220 species of birds have been observed at the cemetery since 1958.
Hopefully, we'll see some nice spring flowers/trees, migrating birds.... We are just a couple of wild and crazy kids.
No specific plans for Mother's Day. I'm not one to fuss which is good, I think son and daughter in law are both working. If it's cloudy, Rick plans to clean my Jeep, and if it's warm enough, I'll find something to do outside.
