Grandma Ruth Is Funny

My Mom is a hoot.

She is so much fun to be around

and is always thinking of creative gifts.

Last Christmas I decided to get Warren's Mom

a hot air balloon ride for her main gift.

She loves adventure and has often commented 

that she would enjoy a balloon ride.

Groupon was running a deal so I told Mom

and she got one so Georgia wouldn't have to go

alone....

Well, actually she got two.

You know how they say to just click once?

Well, what to do with the extra ticket?

Miss Chelsea, of course.

We decided in December that it would be 

part of her 16th birthday celebration.

So the ride is scheduled for an early morning 

next week, as long as the weather is good.

However, when we went to Ruby Tuesday for 

Chelsea's Sweet 16 Birthday Dinner Mom was 

quite concerned about something she was carrying in 

a gift bag.  

She said several times that Chelsea's gift was disappearing.

We thought it must have been something cold that was 

melting.  But when we got to the restaurant Mom went to

the restroom to "fix" it.

That didn't really make sense.

Until....

You really should click on this to see the little people.

So very funny.

The little people in the basket actually have their faces.

Apparently the balloon kept losing air

so a quick trip to the ladies room to blow it up again 

and all was good.

Hope their balloon holds up better than this one.

It will be very early in the morning but I plan

to go along and take lots of pictures to share.

Have a splendid day today.

Keep cool if you can.

Oh, and based on yesterday's post you might

think I am wishing for snow....

Nope!

I would take 75 and no humidity 

but I was really pointing out the extremes

and how far away one seems from the other.
