"Good Friends and a Glass of Wine"









This weekend Omaha is having it's annual air balloon and wine festival. Since Kevin was actually in town and neither of us were *too* busy we decided to go. I should note that I love, LOVE hot air balloons.....I'm not really sure why but, I TOTALLY do, they just make me so happy. I even told Kevin I'd like to trade my car in for a hot air balloon - lol! ;) Omaha is such a "big small town" that within the first few minutes of arriving we ran into a few people we knew and then, we ran into a coworker of mine that I adore but, haven't seen or talked to in way too long. So, the three of us (Kevin, my Coworker and I) spent the evening together. We ended up getting the "emergency" blanket out of our trunk (I live in Omaha - we have VERY cold winters and I like to be prepared - if you lived here I promise you would understand) laying it on a nearby hill, and all watching the balloons glow! We had such a wonderful time, it was the perfect way to kick off the weekend! I hope everyone else is having a great weekend too! :)

That is so cool! I would love to see hot air balloons. I'm glad Kevin was home and able to go with you.
Isn't it fun when you run into friends in unexpected places? Happens to me quite often.
Have a good week.
Love,
Valerie
