Photo Friday 4-27-12 “Hot Air Balloons”

April 27, 2012

This picture shows my cousin and some of his friends setting up their hot air balloons. This photo was taken on the day of his mother’s (my aunt’s) funeral. It was very peaceful watching the balloons float into the air. I can only imagine the conversation he was having with his Mom during his flight.

April 7, 2012

My sons and I visited Washington, D.C. recently. We were lucky enough to visit the Vietnam War Memorial right at sunset and during a time when there were few people at the memorial.

Spring Is for Babies…Animals That Is

April 4, 2012

It is most definitely spring here in northeast Nebraska. I scored my first sunburn a couple days ago. The kids found the little wading pool in its winter storage, pulled it out, and played for hours.
