Today was the second day of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and the morning was cold, but cloud free. Most of the balloons took off, and I saw the totally awesome Darth Vader Balloon, an amazing sight. It was probably also the last time I will enjoy the Balloon Fiesta with all of my daughters. The oldest two are off to college next year, so they won't be home for next year's fiesta. Am I sad? In a way, but all is right with the world (I'm just speaking of my own little world, not the entire global situation--I mean, really. Who could call THAT right?) They are where they should be: growing up, going away, finding their own lives. So I'm good with this being the last Balloon Fiesta with the entire family. Who knows? Maybe the next time we are all together to see it, there will be more of us (No, I'm not pregnant--I'm speaking of husbands and grandchildren--but not for several years yet).
And I got an awesome amount of writing done today.

Awww. That growing up thing...when we don't see the changes every day, the changes are huge. I hardly knew the child I visited this weekend...sad, but not sad in a way.
I loved Smith, btw. Wrote about it today on my blog, if your girls are still interested.
