I've been known to give the moderators a bit of ribbing now and again.
So I should bring up some good stuff too.
At the lunch on Friday Marianne and I had the pleasure of sitting with John and his mom. We exchanged stories and had a very nice lunch. All of us were wanting to go to see Chimney rock so we took off for there after eating. We got to know each other quite well while hiking up to the top of the falls. Mom enjoyed the view from a rocking chair. It was about a two hour hike and there must have been 4000 steps. I can't remember the last time I went up a flight of stairs so my calves had a good workout. They finally felt normal on this past Thursday.
I occasionally have some issues with heights but I was not too bad on this hike. John and Marianne however were having a bit of difficulty. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get them to climb the steps to the Chimney. Once on top neither one would walk anywhere near the railing and both of them did stomach crawls to peer over the edge. The entire hike neither one of them would go near the outside rail.
All in all we had a great time. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with our newest moderator. Thanks WOW and say hi to Mom for us.
