Since a little girl, I’ve enjoyed my birthdays and celebrate way before and after!
This year’s a big one though . . . and I’m excited! I’m turning 75 years old this month. Exciting especially because I’ve finally realized two very long-time and major accomplishments: staying in a tree house and going up for a ride in a hot air balloon.
We left Arizona heading across the country generally along the old Route 66.
The further east the more brilliant the fall colors . . . finally arriving in Hocking Hills, Ohio.
Our sweet little tree house, the Safari, was cozy and nestled “Among the Trees.”
We left Ohio for Chicago and, while there, visited the Morton Arboretum and their Human+Nature exhibit. Exquisite!
Once back home in Arizona, we headed up to Sedona for another very special birthday present . . . a hot air balloon ride. Another dream I’ve had for many years finally accomplished!
And the special ones who provided this wonderful gift: my sister Marian, my dear Yellowstone friend Jackie, and my very special partner Steve.
I’ve had a pretty wonderful birthday celebration thus far . . . and my actual birthday isn’t for a few more days. I’m just beginning!
This was SUCH a cool day! What a birthday gift!
