The balloons went up Saturday and Sunday mornings, but went South and East. Yesterday morning, Monday, they started up our way, but the wind was so still they stayed down close to the field. That was great for the crowd there, but we didn’t get any up our way. Maybe tomorrow.

No matter what the balloons do, Jessie could care less.

This is actually the name of a movie, but it works here …

Some days I’m one, some days I’m the other …

Every journey begins with a single step …

Thank goodness for Legos …

I think I used this a couple of years ago, but still funny …

Ah, the good ol’ days …

We won’t ask …

Finally, some good advice for this week …

One of our Balloon Fiesta traditions is to attend the craft fair that’s held at the Sandia Casino and Resort. It’s a juried fair and everything is high quality … and high-priced. The only thing we bought was a small, pouch for Betty to keep her cash in. We also talked with a lot of interesting people. A fun Saturday morning.

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta opens tomorrow which is always a great time. Let’s hope none of the balloonists run into this situation.
