I shall never forget it, the beauty and majesty of such an incredible view, and what a comfortable perch from which to enjoy it all. The balloon arose so smoothly you would scarcely know were rising into the sky if you did not have your eyes opened to see the ground moving away from you at an astonishing rate. I must do this again, for a much longer ride!!! I was up in the air for about an hour and we got as high as 1200 feet before descending… Wonderfully enjoyable!!!

My 38th birthday is coming...
1 month ago
and so I want to do something I’ve never done before. I’ll be getting up at 3:30 AM this morning to go for my first ride in a hot air balloon. I should have some wonderful pictures to share upon my return and a memory to last a lifetime… Very excited…
What is love without the possibility of pain?
1 month ago
We put ourselves intentionally at risk in our need to love and be loved. It is difficult if not impossible for those we love to never ever cause us pain. Mistakes are made, misunderstanding occur and hurt feelings and the resulting pain is inevitable. But we live for love and it is love that drives us and inspires us as no other impetus can and as such it will never be possible for a healthy human being to prevent themselves from requiring this most sought after commodity.
