The wind has welcomed you with softness,
The sun has blessed you with its warm hands,
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And sent you gently back again into the loving
Arms of Mother Earth.

The other day we went to Skydive Arizona. This is the world's largest skydiving center and draws visitors from all over the world. When we were there there were teams from France, Belgium, and Japan. It appears to be a training camp of choice throughout the states and the world. It's a large complex including bunkhouses, a pool, coaching, restaurants, rec hall and a camping area as well.
Our friends Mary and Chuck went with us and after a very short time, Chuck thought this was something he would like to do and Mary thought it would be a good Valentines Day gift to remember.
For first time jumpers the tandem jump is recommended. They jump from 13,000 feet and free fall to 5,000 feet. He also was in control of the ripcord to pull the parachute. Mary was so glad to see that open up. He absolutly loved the jump. They also videoed it for him. What a thrill!
Catch you all later. Have a wonderful time.
