Re: Up, Up and Away in Albuquerque Today

@Kachina624 - Beautiful pictures! And I enjoyed learning about it too, especially the zebras. I would never go up in one, but I would love to be there someday!  

DS went to Philmont Scout Ranch when he was in high school. They flew in to your airport. All I could think about was - he's going to be near Carolyn! Oh, I could have given him orders from "just a few" people. But I figured the scoutmasters might not want to make that detour! LOL!  Smiley Wink

Gotta grab a mug of tea and go outside to see the Mass Ascension this morning.

 

Hope to see my favorites this year...

I have always wanted to come see the Balloon Fiesta---on my very short bucket list---and just maybe, if and when this stupid covid thing settles down, that may be the first place I travel to.

@beach-mom    I don't know about Carolyn but Jay King, who has his headquarters here, has a retail store that's open certain times of the year where he sells his stuff at a nice discount.  I once left a piece there to be repaired and before I got home, they called to say it was ready.

@just bee    Did you see that cute white poodle face balloon that flew this morning?  I wish I could find a picture to post. 

 

Finally saw a splash 'n dash in the river right before the TV went off the air this morning. It became a bit breezy about 8:30am.  There were some hard landings.

Beautiful!  Didn't QVC broadcast live from that one year?   I think Jill Bauer hosted.
