'Shenanigans'... Indeed.

; )

Was going to write about something totally different, today.

but...

Last Night, had quite a Dream.

; )

Couldn't shake it... all day.

<3

: )

The Dream...

was

 Incredibly Vivid.

It was about Dad.

{Marion Conner Sr.}

; )

In the 'Dream'... 

Dad wanted to take me, and his Great Grandson for a ride in his plane.

{The Great 'Grandson', in my 'Dream'... was nameless, about 6 years old... he, was my Nephew, Billy's Son.

<3

Billy, has two College age Daughters. No Boys.}

??

Dad... taught himself how to 'Fly', back in the late 1940's when he bought/traded.... for a little two seater Plane. 

an

 'Aeronca Champ'.

<3

Never had the opportunity to fly with Dad. I was born in 1963. Dad... sadly, lost his Pilot's License when he flew The Champ between a Bridge, and The Iowa River, in Iowa City, in the 1950's.

; )

Dad... was givin' his 'Boss' a 'Ride'...

 his horrible 

'Boss'

 would

 Never Forget.

; )

That... Dad, did. : ) }

Hahahahaha!!!

<3

Back to 'The Dream'.

; )

oh my.

We all climbed into Dad's Plane... tried to get situated. It was tight.

; )

Finally... we did.

The Boy, and I... watched Dad do his Stuff.

<3

We started down the runway, 

of a tiny little Airport.

Felt the Plane... Lift Off!!

<3

Exciting!!

{Dad, and I... had flown together, in small planes when I was young.

He... just couldn't be the 'Pilot'.}

The 'Boy' and I... Truly were enjoying the Lift Off.

: )

then...

Dad lowered the plane, back onto the little runway.

??

I could see other planes, or what I thought were planes ahead of us... on the tiny runway.

No...

It wasn't a 'Runway'.... Dad... was landing on.

; )

Hahahahaha!!!

It... was an 'On-Ramp' onto I-380, that runs through Cedar Rapids.

: )

As we were Toolin' down I-380, well... 'The Champ' was rolling through a Messy Slushy Snow Covered 380.

Could barely see tracks from other vehicles, in the Deep Slush.

; )

Yeah...

Boy!!

: )

{uh... oh.}

I... asked Dad if it was 'legal' to 'drive' The Champ... on the highway.

He, said...

" Nope."

: )

Dad's 'Great Grandson'... was on my lap.

: )

Neither of us were a bit concerned.

<3

: )

I looked at 'The Boy', asked...

"You know... your Great Grandfather is 'Irish', right? 

; )

Just like your Grandma,...me,

your Dad... and You."

; )

<3

The Boy, smiled... and said...

"Yep."

: )

Reminded 'The Boy'... 'Life... to us 'Irish', isn't much without 'Adventure'.'

: )

then...

I asked The Boy, what another word for 

'Adventure'

is, to us...

'Conner's'.

The Boy Grinned, and said...

"Shenanigans".

: ) : ) : )

INDEED!!

<3 <3 <3 

I've abbreviated 'The Dream'... a bit.

; )

Lord, Lord...

<3

It Was Great!!

<3

{Red Lights... Green Lights... First Avenue... in Cedar Rapids.

'Brakes'

????

: )

Possibly having to remove The Champ's Wings to Get Through a Building!!!}

; )

yeah...

boy.

; )

<3

Loved hearing Dad's 'Voice', again.

: )

It was Incredibly Real.

<3

<3

; )

'Shenanigans'

; )

<3

 Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
