WASPS AND RAIN
Tonight to celebrate Mark and Mary Kathryn's anniversary we went to Sweetwater to the WASP Museum and after looking at the displays had to go to downtown to wait until the 7 dinner. We had appetizers at Sonic drove around a little and spent an hour in Hastings. Saw a book I didn't know about by Judy Alter. I was a "small book" or some such name by TCU Press that talked about chefs in Texas and started with the restuarant in Bryan at the winery that is owned by one of Kathy's friends. She also profiled chefs in Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin and Houston as I remember. It featured their favorite recipes and was a fitting book by Judy whose blog is called Judy's Stew.
WASP stands for Women Airforce Servic Pilots. They were experienced pilots who were trained at Avenger Field in Sweetwater to learn how to fly military aircraft and were then assigned to air bases and aircraft factories to ferry aircraft to air bases. They were also used to fly targets for live fire training and simulated straffing runs for training the military defenses.
The dinner speaker was Major Bridget McNamara who has 2500 hours with 2200 in B-1s with over 600 combat hours and they named all the tons of bombs she had dropped. She said she liked to fly and take out the bad guys. The BBQ was great but I forgot to wear a coat and got chilled. We left when the Sweetwater orchestra started playing 1940s big band music for dancing.
This morning I finished the Flame, printed copies to take to church tomorrow then came downstairs to publish it to PDF and email to everyone both members and friends. The mail brought my new credit card so I spent two hours changing all of my automatic payments to the new card.
