Fantasy Island Flashbacks

Tonight Madie and I went to meet Nana and Paw-paw for dinner at Sammy's Touch n' Go in Pell City. It is a resturant at the Pell City airport and it is exactly halfway for both of us to travel to meet and the food there is really good. They have the place decorated with old planes and photos..its just a neat place, I recommend it to anyone who hasn't been there before. We go there quiet frequently and it is always fun to watch the small planes "touch n' go" as you eat.

During this visit it seemed as if the air traffic was much higher than normal. There were planes coming and going in all directions. Madie loved it. After dinner we went outside to let her run around for a minute before our ride home. She took off yelling "Ook Paw-paw, de pain--de pain!" Translation: "Look Paw-paw, the plane--the plane!"

This will show my age. I turned to my Dad and told him she sounded like the guy Tattoo on Fantasy Island. He would always alert the Islanders that the guests were arriving on the Island by saying "The Plane, the plane" at the beginning of every episode. My Dad laughed and said she does, and they are about the same size too.
