Bird-in-Hand

“Are you ready for a little outing?” Meredith leaned over Levi’s crib, wrapped a blanket around his squirming body, and picked him up. “We’re going to see some animals at the zoo, precious baby.”

Levi nuzzled her neck while she gently patted his back. He was such a good baby and a comfort to her, as well. Meredith knew it would be difficult to raise him alone, but she was determined to do it. She’d been managing financially so far, but real estate taxes would be due next spring, and that worried her. She was making enough money selling head coverings to pay for food and their basic expenses, but she wasn’t sure how she could put enough extra in the bank to pay taxes.

As much as Meredith dreaded doing it, she might have to rent the house out and move in with her folks. Selling the place would be her last resort, because if she did that, she’d have no place to come back to if she found a way to make more money. Meredith didn’t want to look for work outside the home until Levi had been weaned, so renting out the house might be her only option if things got any worse.

A horn honked outside, interrupting Meredith’s thoughts. Dorine and her driver were there, so it was time to head for the zoo.

Meredith grabbed her lightweight jacket along with Levi’s diaper bag and headed out the door.

“Are you ready for a fun day?” Dorine asked as Meredith climbed into Marsha Hubert’s van.

Meredith nodded. “I don’t think Levi will get much out of it, but I’m sure looking forward to this time we can be together.”

Dorine gestured to Merle and Cathy. “My two kinner are excited about seeing the animals at the zoo, and I’m also looking forward to watching the hot air balloons in Paoli.”

“You’re not planning to take a ride in one of them are you?” Meredith questioned.

Dorine shook her head vigorously. “Ach, no! I just want to watch awhile, and then we can be on our way to the zoo.”

“I’ve been to these hot air balloon displays before,” Marsha told them. “Some of the rides you can take float you from one place to a totally new location. But if you just want to experience what it’s like to go up in one, then I recommend taking a tethered ride.”

“What’s that?” Meredith and Dorine asked in unison.

“It’s a ride that takes you up high in the balloon, but you don’t really go anywhere. There’s a rope that’s tied from the ground up to the balloon, securing it in place,” their driver explained. “I can tell you from personal experience that the view up there is breathtaking.”

“That sounds exciting, but I think I’ll just observe,” Dorine said. “I’d be too scared to go way up there.”

“I agree. All I want to do is watch.” Meredith buckled Levi into a car seat then settled back for the one-hour drive.
