Blue Ridge Country - September/October 2013 - DE14

Then Behr recites the “Balloonist’s
Blessing,” which is appropriately simple, like a child’s lullaby, giving thanks
to the world that allowed us safe
passage:

The Winds have welcomed you
with softness.
The Sun has blessed you with his
warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well
that God has joined you in your
laughter
and set you gently back again
into the loving arms of Mother
Earth. 
and two sleepy kids. Behr offers the
kids a ride, so we all pile out and
watch them take a mini-ride around
their own back yard, the balloon crew
tugging them around with a rope.
These kids proceed to have some kind
of birthday party at their house while
we adults collapse the balloon. This
involves a lot of dragging and pulling
and, yes, bouncing on top to get all
the air out. Needless to say, there is
much giggling all around.
Back at the Boar’s Head Inn, we
conclude our morning flight with
donuts, the sparkling cider, and a
photo slideshow that the crew took.

Ready to Fly? HeRe’s How!
Reservations are recommended two or
three weeks in advance, although they can
accommodate your “Next Day” needs.
Photographs will be taken of your flight.
Flights are in the morning, except from
September 15 through November, when
evening flights are possible.
