Balloons - When I

When I was only three, we took a trip to the zoo. It was the first time I saw big colorful balloons, one was bought and tied to my tiny wrist. When I was sixteen, my birthday party was filled with pretty pink balloons. When I was thirty, we took off in a hot air balloon up into the bright night sky. When I was forty, I walked into my surprise party~ everyone was holding pretty balloons. Date Written: 2/6/2023 Honorable Mention

Lovely memories Paula :-) And the hot air balloon ride must have been a wonderful experience? I've never been in one but maybe someday before my bones get too much older. Hugs ~ Anne :-)
