      Agreed Dennis.  It’s pretty great out here.  Getting to see some trees and water yesterday was a much needed change.  I think it’s safe to say we’re all ready for fall though.  Our trip yesterday had us scoping out some fall camping sites.  Stay tuned!

        Beautiful pics man. Regarding looking happy…mountains, trees and dirt can do that to a person! Thanks for sharing these adventures with us.

            It’s Balloon Fiesta time in ABQ. I think we’re going next Thursday so stay tuned for more photos.  The schools each get their own balloon launch on the first morning of the festivities.  Here we are bright and early at the girls’ school…

                  Impressive how many balloons are up in the air.

                    @mclaincausey we’d love to entertain you for BF next year.  Just let me know!

                    @goosehd I have not.  Not ruling it out though.  😉

                    @ROman that’s nothing.  The mass ascension is when they all take off in the morning and it’s utter balloon mayhem.  You have to leave the house at 4 am to fight the traffic and parking in time for it.  We’re doing the evening event where they light up some funky shape balloons.  It’s supposed to be much less chaotic.  People come from all over the world for Balloon Fiesta.

                                    I mentioned this on another thread but I’ll put up some updates here so as not to distract from The Mods’ European Vacation…

                                    Katie’s home from the hospital and she smells awful.  That said I’m really glad she’s alive.  The final diagnosis was pneumonia in all the lobes of her lungs with one partially collapsed.  She’s been getting antibiotics via injection and IV for 3 days and is now on two different antibiotic pills at home.  She can barely walk 5 steps without having to stop and catch her breath but she’s ok and actually sounds infinitely better than before she went in.

                                    Her tales of misadventure in the Urgent Care waiting room (3 hours) and then the ER waiting room (5 hours) followed by two days of general ineptitude by overworked (a generous assumption based on her stories) medical staff is jaw dropping.  One nurse gave her a pill that she, the nurse, couldn’t identify when asked.  ???  In the ER waiting room she witnessed vomiting, fighting, domestic abuse, child abuse and a colostomy bag geyser mishap.  On the nurses board of patients ailments she saw “big toe injury” “pink eye” and “vaginal itching” which sounds like the first five minutes of bed time at my house and certainly doesn’t warrant an er visit.

                                    She’s home now and happy to be here.  Thank you so much to all the well wishers.  We love you guys.  😘

                                      I'm very glad that she's home, in safe hands and on the mend. My best wishes for a continued recovery.

                                          Katie's hospital experience sounds really grim.  Glad she's home and hope she's back to full strength before too long.

                                            Oh my goodness, Matt! I don’t know how I missed that this was going down, but I’m so glad she’s okay! What a nightmare. I hope that she takes all the time she needs to rest, and has an easy road to recovery. [emoji3590]
