so i've ordered balloons!
ok, i didn't exactly order them. they just happened to fly over our house the other night, right before dusk. we were indoors eating dinner, and wouldn't even have *known*, except we happened to have all the windows open and we heard this weird WHOOSHING noise."what was that?" asked lovely husband jeff.
"it sounds like the flame burner thingie on a hot air balloon," i replied immediately.
of course lhj is far too lovely to say, "have you lost your mind?!" but the look he gave me was fairly eloquent. not that i blame him! had the situation been reversed, i'd've done the same. in fact, had there been a mirror to hand, i would have regarded myself with some suspicion.
which is a pity, since as a matter of fact, it was the flame burner thingie on a hot air balloon; and the balloon in question was right above our house. (yes, you may add to my list of secret super-powers the ability to recognize fairly obscure noises from quite a long way away. who knew??!)
turns out, said balloon was the first of 7 or 8. i guess they were having a balloon...rally or...regatta or...whatever you call it when 7 or 8 hot air ballons all fly (...sail? ...float??) in the same general direction at the same time. whatever it may called, i can tell you it is very cool to watch, particularly when it occurs, unexpectedly and unbidden, right over your home! ...but i still have to wonder...
how did they even know it was my *100th* post??! :)
truly how DID they know?
