Good Friday? 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Here's an interesting superstition. It's supposed to be bad luck for children (or anyone else) to climb trees on the Friday before Easter. Anyone else ever hear of this?

Ahhh. I get it now. I understand that some people refer to the cross as the "Tree". Makes sense.

I had never heard of it either, until I read it on the internet this week - must be true if you read it on the web. LOL! Happy Easter everyone.

So anyone broke the rules- a no fly day? Me- voluntarily grounded; unaware of my luck in following the rules.

I stayed earth bound as well. The weather was a big factor though - 40-55 mph wind gusts here, and my tree surfing skills aren't up to to that!
