Up in the air
by Barbara T. Evans
Almost everyone has taken a friend or relative to the
bus station. or airport and watched as they boarded for
departure, wishing that it was he or she who was going.
Well, your time comes and it can be an adventure on a
magic carpet or a dull trip. For those who must travel
often boarding a plane or bus can be old hat with all of the
thrill of adventure passed. For those of us who seldom
Air travel seems to be a popular form of travel today.
There are all kinds of people hurrying somewhere with all
kinds of expressions and problems. Many very young
children are seen on planes and they appear to weather
the trips very easily. The most shaking part of the trip is
at the beginning when you are shown the emergency
equipment.
Somewhere inside a tiny voice says, “Are they trying
to tell me something ?’’ After take-off and when in the air,
the apprehension disappears and you finally relax and
enjoy the journey.
There are so many interesting people. Each passenger
who sits next to you has a story and special personality all
their own, You suddenly realize how small your world is
and how much there is to see and learn. People as a whole
are very friendly and willing to share their little worlds
with you.
Did you know that the wind blows most of the time in
Kansas? A plane leaves O’Hare Airport every four
minutes? Sections of the Rio Grande River are so dry you
can walk across them? You don’t fall over when a plane
banks to the left or right and you do feel very close to God

A smile that comes from within can open the door to
many short but meaningful friendships and usually these
friendships produce bits of knowledge that are amazing. It
certainly beats traveling alone on a covered wagon.

There are many forms of art but probably the most used
is needlework. Many, many people, men and women use
needlework to express their artistic talents. We are
fortunate to have in our community a very special person
whose artistic talents are unbelieveable considering she is
an arthritic. Gert Pokorny who lives on Rice Stree: in
Trucksville is an artist in every sense of the word
Gert uses an old Scandinavian ‘counted thread’ method
to draw beautiful pictures with her needle. The process is
slow but the results are breathtaking. She has several of
her items framed and they are a credit to her effort.
Although her hands are crippled and sometimes it is
difficult to hold a needle she persists and she can be very
proud of the results. She must use a magnifying glass al
times to count the threads.
There are probably a lot of Back Mountain residents
who have special hobbies which should be shared with
others and be enjoyed. We would love to hear from anyone
who would like to have others enjoy their work.
Thought for the week : Better do a little well than a great
deal badly.
