ReplyDeleteOh boy! Oh gurrrrrrl! You know how I love those who take flight. I love Bessie Coleman, I love love love her! Oh and Amelia Earhart- I used to think I would be the one to find her, relaxing on an island somewhere just because she wanted to get away from it all- just because she wanted to rest for a spell. oh man! oh girl! I thought I would be the one! Flying papers indeed!
