Goofing off

Well, there was no post this week because I was goofing off with pleasure.  Taking time off to take 4 grandchildren to Chimney Rock, North Carolina.  We had a room in an old cutesie motel that had a balcony overlooking Rocky Broad River and access to the river.  When the grandchildren saw all that water they started shouting," Thank you, Savta."  You see, their other grandmother had them in the water since they were 6 months old and it was so natural to the four of them  to live in the river for the next two days.  We were there to see Chimney Rock by climbing the 500 stairs to get to the top of Chimney Rock and to see Hickory Nut Falls where the remake film of The Last of the Mohicans was filmed.  We did those things and it was beautiful scenery and a lot of exercise but I think if all we did was play in the river they would have been happy.

 Deceptively looking not dangerous river,it was mainly a shallow swift currant and spots deep enough to swim in.
