This post is in response to a prompt from Kelly at *Weekly Anamnesis.* I like Kelly’s word prompts to help me think of something to write. She is not picky about when someone uses a word. It can be a word from previous weeks, which I have done before. But today I am using “Immediately” which is last week’s word. (But this week’s is not yet up!) Anyone is welcome to use her prompts. Just go there and follow the instructions. I love to see what different people write about the same word prompt.
—————————-
Actually, this post is to tell you that I do not have time to post! Or visit. Or even really keep up with my comments, but I am putting a little effort into that when I can. We have had guests since Thursday, and I have had two stamping events in that time period. The guests leave tomorrow, but Chic has an all-day field trip tomorrow, so time is elusive.
In my last post I mentioned Balloon Fiesta and told you to not get your hopes up because the weather is notoriously bad when I am in town for it. It did not fail me. It was canceled yesterday morning when we planned to go to the mass ascension (approximately 600 balloons heading into the sky over about an hour). The lucky thing for me was that Prince Charming got up at 3:50 and determined it would be canceled, so we did not all get up, drag ourselves at 4:30 a.m. in the rain, only to find out it was canceled after arriving at the launch site. (As we have done before.)
We decided to go to the “Glow-deo” last night and hope for better weather. It was not canceled, so that was good. Below is one picture. Click to enlarge. We had a lot of fun, ate a lot of expensive “food” and did not freeze, so all was good. I have a whole post on this waiting, but I am afraid I might not be able to post anything until I get back from my trip, for which I leave in two days and return a week later. I hope to have a little time and internet access while away to at least catch up on visiting the rest of you!

Beautiful balloons! I’m still trying to catch up from the last week, but I’m working on it. Have a safe and wonderful trip!

have a good trip!

Beautiful picture! I am hoping there are more to come. I have recently, due to circumstances, became a fan of hot air balloons. And hope one day to travel to AZ for the balloon fiesta. You are luck to live so close. Even if it does rain out. Have a great week!

Great and coloured balloons.
No worries there … afterall, as you know, there’s a life out there!

That picture is awesome! Love the scary glowing balloons against the evening sky.

Amazing picture! I’m determined to make it there for that sometime…
The kids would love it, too.

The balloons look great. Have fun.
I don’t have time to do work, so I’m reading your post (I can do that in less time than start some new work).
October 6, 2008 at 12:37 pm
have a good time, as long as it lasts!

You oughta be following your own advice here. Stop worrying about blogging when there’s no time. I am, however, glad to see the balloon shot – that’s beautiful. Did you love the smell of the rain? That should have been worthwhile, no? Hope your events went well. Keep me posted on your trip – and tell everyone hi from me.

It seems that when ever the wife and I go out to eat these days, it costs an arm and a leg for ‘anything’. Economic times are indeed getting bad.
October 6, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Lovely if we could all have our “regular” day and then an additional 2 or 3 hours to do the whole blog thingy…with no lack of sleep involved!
October 6, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Hope you are enjoying your guests.
I love those night glo balloon things! So beautiful! We went in the winter, like January maybe, it was so beautiful!
October 6, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Thank you for that beautiful picture! Have fun living life and blog when YOU want to blog! Can’t wait to hear about all of your adventures. Take care.

Oh Louise, there is NO NEED to apologize. GO AND ENJOY! Another lovely shot, I have always wanted to do THAT.

I LOVE the cookie jar and the spooky banner you made, they are super cute.

Busy busy! Hope you have a great trip.
October 14, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I agree, I have been so busy lately and have had so little time keeping up with my blogs. I thought once my kids were back in school, I would have all kinds of time on my hands, boy, was I mistaken! I have been taking tons of photos though, so I won’t be short of material for posting on the blog when I finally do get some extra time. I love the glowing balloons, by the way…
