Larry the Balloon Man!

Grandma Dotty surprised Maddie today by inviting her neighbor, Larry, over to the house because he is a balloon man! If you remember, a few weeks ago Maddie encountered a balloon man at the Portland Saturday Market. This was more special though because Maddie got a few different things and Larry explained to Maddie (and us) how he puts these things together.

He actually started doing this 10 years ago in college and has not been able to give up this great hobby. (See www.twistedtucson.com) What a great thing it is to have the ability to make people and their children smile! Thanks Larry for the pink horsey, the flowers, the toucan, and the American chopper bike! Don't be surprised if we come knocking on your door for a princess tomorrow! Don't ever give up your talents because the smiles you help create last all day long and then some!!
