The trip to Brazil went well until 15 minutes out on our flight from São Paulo. The right engine had an explosion and fire. We had window seats, right behind the wing with a night departure. It showed up really well. I'm glad that I didn't know at the time that the plane only had two engines. Hopefully this is a once in a lifetime experience. We made it home 12 hours later than scheduled, but safe. ********************************************** We now return to our normal life. Martha, Madelyn, and I attended a Thanksgiving Feast at Aaron's preschool. The day was beautiful and the kids enjoyed playing in the playground. Madelyn, our brave granddaughter who loves all insects, met her match. She kept her distance from the "daddy long legged" spider that I was trying to show her. She even gave it what I called "the evil eye".
We found lots of leaves in our yard, not a surprise. Fortunately a scout in our ward is earning money for an Eagle Project and we greatly appreciated his work.
