Golf Hopes, Hangar Happenings, and Kentucky Fried Chicken

Well, just as temperatures were rising, the skies were clearing, the sun was shining and my thoughts were beginning to drift toward golf--winter returned. After twelve years in Ohio you'd think I'd have learned not to expect any consistency with "warm" or "spring" or "sun" until late May or early June. Oh well...I guess there's more to life than getting in that first round of golf of the new year.

It was great having the LeTourneau team in our hangar and in our homes last week. Rachel, Pete, Kevin, Eli, Julia, Ben, and Ken are a great bunch of young men and women with a wonderful heart for the Lord. Their faculty adviser, Matt, was a blessing and an encouragement to us as well. Lord willing we'll have another LeTourneau team travel our way next March. We may actually see a couple members of the team back in our hangar this summer. That would be fun.

We had some fun last night. We were talking about dinner and discovered that Bat-Enkh had never eaten Kentucky Fried Chicken before. I guess the "Colonel" hasn't made it into Mongolia yet or, if he has, it's not in a very big way. Having grown up eating KFC, Karen and I were excited to head out and buy a bucket of "finger licking good" chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw, and biscuits.

Bat-Enkh gave the chicken and side dishes two thumbs up.

Tucker thought the chicken smelled "jowl-drooling" good!
