The work of air hostesses is hard. I have had opportunity to follow it very close. My daughter was one many years ago. I worked for an airline and also flew during five years as a flying officer.

I think my childhood dream of being a flight attendant was a fantasy – now I can see how much work it really is! I admire all those in the aviation occupation.

Have you taken your grandchildren to Kitchener/Waterloo airport to see the aeroplanes coming and going?

I enjoy your literary style….so readable…I have said for years that everybody has a book in them…most books will never be inscribed…..for generations to come your descendents will enjoy each chapter you have recorded.
It may well be that someday cars will have a flight optional mode. When man first landed on the moon my father was not surprised, saying that years before comics were about putting man into space. Have there been comics about flying cars?
Have you enjoyed a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls?
Have you had a hot air ballroom ride over the Grand River?

How true – we all have a story; some long stories, some short stories, some Reader’s Digest, some tragic, some funny, but all unique.
We watched Jean and Jonathan as they hovered over New York City in a helicopter and I have seen many hot air balloons float by over the Grand River when we lived there. But I have never experienced helicopter or hot air balloon rides … sounds wonderful. Have you?

I have had a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls…..it was cheaper to take it from Niagara-on-the-lake than it was to take it from Niagara Falls…there were four of us.

Great idea! Thanks for the reminder that we have an airport nearby. We went to see an airshow at Breslau last year.

Yes – wonderful story. I love the way you wrote it and the vivid descriptions you used. I’m sad to say you’ll never be an “air hostess” or “stewardess.” If you got hired today (which you could, btw), you’d be a “flight attendant”! Ha ha! I do like the images I’ve seen of elegant travel from the 50s and 60s. I wish people still dressed up to fly instead of wearing track pants and flip-flops.

I agree with you about elegant travel. Casual maybe, but still with style! I don’t even dress at home in some of the clothes I see people wearing! Fashion is fun and who knows who you might run into, eh? I’ll never forget the time I went to the grocery store without being put together and isn’t that the time I run into someone I haven’t seen for years and they’re think I really let myself go. Is that pride? Perhaps a little, and what’s wrong with taking pride in how we look? I call it dignity. 😉
I have a photo of Oma at the airport (I’ll try to find it and post it) wearing a little jacket like Jackie O, pencil skirt just below the knees, high heels – soooo 60s. And her hair looks like she just stepped out of a beauty parlour. ❤

A lovely air hostess, a beautiful story.

Lol – I never fulfilled my dreams about being an “air hostess” – raised three children instead, dance every day and travel when I can. My next post will be about my upcoming trip to visit my daughter – the fashionista, in Seattle!!
