This weekend they are having an air show in Tarkio. A couple of pilots came in that were with the military. They had uniforms on. This afternoon, I went out and had a break about 2:30 or so. I could hear some of the planes. When I got back in, about 15 minutes or so. A guy came in and said that "there was something going on out there at the airport. People were going crazy. Running around and just acting crazy." We soon found out that there was a plane crash. A lady came in and said that "they called lifeflight in, but cancelled it. So everything must be alright." I looked at her and said "OK." The lady behind her said (after the lady was out the door) "That no it wasn't alright." She was working at the nursing home where Bill's dad lives and she saw what happened. Apparently, a plane was doing some loopty loops and went straight up and came straight down. No noise, nothing. It hit hard and alot of dirt. No fire explosion. Just dirt flying.
So later we found out it was a young lady in her 20's or so. Tonight I was looking at http://www.kmaland.com/ and they had on there news section that it was a young mother at the age of 35 who was flying the plane. Her name was Chandy Clanton. She has a website as well, www.chandyclanton.com very pretty VERY YOUNG. But a christian. SO I am kind of rejoicing but also very sad for her father and sons. There are some pictures of her on her site.
They are still having the airshow tomorrow. I guess the "show must go on." I couldn't, but I guess it isn't me. I have to work. Even if I didn't I still wouldn't go. They scare me just to watch. Honestly, I think that it is going on way too close to the town. The only thing between the town and the airport is a little creek and about a quarter of a mile. She went down between the airport road and the creek. Right in the bean field. Apparently, belly-up.
My Baby was blogging and read a really good post from our friend Jan. He said that I needed to read it. It helped me alot. I needed to laugh. Thank you, Jan. ;) Yes, Jan we love to hear your embarrassing moments. My Baby tells me that I am warped. ;)
But for tonight I am going to go to bed and hold my Baby real tight and pray for Chandy's family. And for a safe flights for all the pilots tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes. I will probably hear if anything happens like that again. I pray that it doesn't. I hope that they stay East of town. I am about a mile and a half from it. If that.
Good night all. Hold your baby real tight. The monsters stay away if you do. Sleep tight all. Roxi

Roxie...that was such a tragedy!
At least, as you said, we know that she was a Christian, according to her own words on her blog.
She sounds like she must have been a wonderful lady, doesn't she?
I hope you are settled down a little, and not so stressed...having that happen so close to your house must have been very un-nerving, to say the least.
Take care of yourself, and your Baby, and all of your babies.
