Okay, so it's not the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

But still, hot air balloons are amazingly awesome..

David and I went to Redbud Park yesterday to watch the balloon glow after sundown, at the 12th Annual Big Country Balloon Fest, and again today, while it was still light...

Up Up And Away...

Nasty Asian Food?

No way!!

I found a box of CENTURY EGGS at the local Filipino Food Store.. *happy grin*, and almost made David and Cindy green at the gills to think of PRESERVED duck eggs ..

Seemingly innocuous styrofoam box

Of Widgets and Sunsets

Tweaking websites is a lotta fun

I've added a new " Talk to Letti " widget ( right sidebar ) from meebo.com ( which lets me access my MSN messenger, ICQ and Yahoo messenger accounts on one interface ) so if anyone drops by and I'm online, just say hello!

and...
another beautiful West Texas sunset...

Labor Day Weekend

I'm spelling Labor without a "u" now

It is wonderful to have a family that gets together all the time, who enjoy each other's company and have fun times.

It was a rainy weekend, but we were soooo glad to have the cooler weather and the rain that we didn't really care and went ahead and had lotsa fun

A Breath of Cool Fresh Air
