In the Air
Every day started with a leisurely breakfast and a chance for some chitchat then it was off to the casino to play the slots. Not one out of the three played cards or craps so the slot machines got a work-over. They started out together; selecting machines in close proximity but it didn”t take long for each one to branch off in another direction
The wicker basket was removed from the trailer and the balloon was laid out on the grass and attached. It was inflated by means of several extremely powerful fans and occasional blasts of hot air. A couple of volunteers were required to hold the balloon open as it was being inflated; the noise and bursts of flames made the excitement heighten. We were informed that as soon as the wicker basket started to become upright we should all get in. That was a lot easier said than done! It turned out to be a mad scramble and my husband and I were separated, but thankfully ended up in adjacent compartments.
