It's almost June here in Las Cruces, NM. We have been spending over a year getting settled in our rental home. There are now flowers and humming bird feeders around our patio. We are having fun learning about the birds in the desert.

June also means it is getting to 70 degrees by 8am. We are going to squeeze in one more flight before "Santita" has to go for it's annual. By the time it will be too hot to go to fly in the morning.

At least around here in Las Cruces. Who knows if we will get a wild hair and travel to other places to get our itch for flying scratched.

In the meantime, we are planning on participating with local air and space shows. We have also been spending time with local RC balloon pilots. What fun!

We are working on lodging plans for Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. We are seriously considering renting an AirBnb and are trying to get confirmations of crew who would be interested in renting rooms with us.

One last bit of news: We are doing a crazy thing. Chalk it up to being dehydrated in the desert. Once we have definitive details to announce, we will be shouting it out to the whole world. (Hint: we are not getting married....yet...but it is much more insane than that! :D )

Seven more sleeps until we take off for Albuquerque!

We have scheduling crew and fun things to do while we are in Albuquerque.

We can hardly wait until we see long-time friends again and meet new ones. Even though we have been to Fiesta before, each one is a different and unique experience.
