Like so many of my fellow puzzlers I went up in a balloon over the wine county of California many years ago. It was a surprise birthday present by my Honey. The only present to best that surprise was the birth of my baby on my 25th birthday.
Many years ago I lived near some vacent lots. Hot air balloons would land there occasionally. I love to go up in them. Have done it 3 times. However, my body won't let me climb into them anymore. Good memories.
Nothing quite like floating along in the sky, is there, aussie? Why is it that hot air balloons don't bother you, but regular ones do? Is it the size or are they just different?
Hugs to you in abundance.

I think it is the noise when they pop (regular balloons that is), fortunately the one I went up in didn't lol. Hugs back.

Glad you had a good experience also riging in a hot air balloon. I had a similar experience. It was very uplifting.

We had a tragedy in Texas today when 16 people went up in a hot air balloon and the basket caught fire, they think, when it touched some high tension wires.

Thanks, and hugs back to you. This is a great group we are in with people from all over the world enjoying the same things which is puzzling to me. We share laughs, tears, prayers, and occasionally a pun or two - especially when we start out: "Once a-pun a time..."

I agree PW - and I pray that God will bless those who created this site and made it possible for us to share with others in our Christian walk. Hugs.
