I was at JCPenney looking for a new top for a date with the Major.  I was thinking that I should call him at work and tell him how much I was looking forward to going to Ironstone Winery and spending the day with him.  My phone rang instead.  It was the Major with bad news....really bad news.  I had to leave the store because I was crying.  Two men that the Major has worked with in Nevada were killed in a small plane crash last night.  These men were ones he considered friends even though they didn't always agree. He always came home with kind words considering both.  And now they are gone.  We aren't going on our date tomorrow because the Major has been sent to be on the accident investigation.  He has had to do this before and it just tears him up inside.

He left...flying away in a small aircraft.  Not feeling great about that!!

For anybody that reads this...please pray for the families of these two men!!
