There's a great park in San Diego down at the marina where people fly kites. I love walking through there on Sunday afternoons to watch. Speaking of kites, anyone read The Kite Runner? Great book. I know there's a movie, which I did not see. But great book.

Very cool Jackie. Pretty kite against a very blue sky.

I bought a box kite several years ago in Tennessee. We had people over for a bar-b-que and the kids had the kite out flying it. I told them to put it away when they were done.......yeah right. The next day, driving home from work, I was down the road from my house I saw the kite flying high in the sky and was ???? The kids had just set it on the ground, the wind picked it up and thank God the end of the string got caught in the tree branch in my front yard. It had been flying itself all day long. Grin

Hmmmm ... Does ANYONE make their own kites anymore? My father had his own construction company, with his workshop in the basement. We used to LOVE it when he had to cut the tongue, or grove off tongue and groove boards. Those pieces made GREAT kites! We used the string that our shirts came wrapped in, when we picked them up from the cleaners. Then we used flour and water glue, to glue newspaper to the frame. VIOLA!! A kite!

The HOURS we spent with those kites!

I know, I am dating myself, but so what!!! Everyone knows I am OOOOOOLD!
