Balloon

My dad's back in the hospital in Florida. Chest pains. They're monitoring and testing; we're waiting and seeing. I hate being so far away. Prayers appreciated.

We have a big balloon festival starting tomorrow. Went out this evening and saw that one of them decided to start early.

I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you, your family and father. Sending some love (and some prayers) your way.

So sorry your dad is back in the hospital - will keep you and your family in my prayers. Love the balloon shot - we have a festival here too - been up once on a balloon and found out I hate heights... :(

Becky I am so sorry to hear about your dad being back in the hospital. I complain that my mom lives in Bangor and I live in Rumford, so I don't know how you do it. Its hard not being there just to actually see them for ourselves.

I can't wait to see more pictures from the balloon festival though.

Oh no! P & PT for your dad, I hope everything is ok and it's just a scare. :(

Beautiful balloon though! I wish our balloon races would have gone as planned. Darned storms!

Becky, so sorry to hear that your dad is not doing well. Sorry too that you are so far away; it makes it harder. Prayers being sent you way and your dad's direction. On the other hand, lucky you to be able to see hot air balloons. I love those things!
