M is for
Montgolfier Balloon
W-a-y back sometime around 1995, Philip and I visited the Air and Space Museum in San Diego. While we were there we saw a model – lifesize, maybe – of the Montgolfier balloon.
“Oh cool,” I said. “I like it!”
“I’ll buy it for you,” said Philip.
Did I mention that we were young and silly?
And you know what…a few years later we found a Montgolfier balloon for sale. Of course, Philip bought it for me.
It’s tin and was once filled with candy. It holds a special place in my heart because once upon a time, Philip promised to buy me the Montgolfier balloon. And he did.
Aww, that’s one of the reasons we love that son-in-law of ours 🙂
I can’t believe you’re on M already!
Love the story. 🙂 Good men are hard to find. You know, the kind who do what they say they’ll do. 🙂
