This close up photo was not really close up.....that is how close the balloons were to me while I stood in our front yard! We live near the college which is where they launch, so once a year we have upwards of 25 hot air balloons drifting above our house. The local hot air balloon enthusiasts float over our house (usually one at a time) several times a year. Each time I see them, I am thankful to be alive to see the beauty of a hot air balloon that seems almost close enough for me to jump up and grab onto!
The other photo was also taken outside on my front lawn but is of them when they were higher and further away. Then the other photo was a couple blocks from our house and you can see our youngest son there in the photo.
Next weekend will be the baptism of four of our children. I'll also turn 39 yrs old the day after their baptisms. Hopefully this week will also bring a job offer to my husband.
Like Saint Paul said (my very creative paraphrase) "I have learned to be happy when I have plenty and also when I go without.....in all circumstances I sing praise and joy to Jesus Christ, my Lord!"
