The Second Round Of Visitors Are Back In Switzerland

Sweeties's daughter and SIL were here for a week (a very active week) and we are now in our recovery phase. It was a lot of fun...I don't want to wish my life away, but...I'll be glad when the grandkids are old enough to be able to do fun, physical things...hopefully I'll still be young enough!

In addition to working out with them almost everyday, we also did this:


At Carter's Lake




Amicalola Falls




Fort Mountain Stables

...plus one day they rode our bikes to and from the gym (6.5 mountainous miles each way) and another day they ran to the gym. What shape they are in.

Now that my quilting room is no longer a guest room, I'm going to rearrange it so that my design wall is more convenient while sewing. Once that's done then I can bring out everything that I had put out of harms reach.

The Kids Are Back In Switzerland...Back To Blogging

It's come to my attention that I was having a problem with readers trying to post comments to my blog. A while back I had made some changes in Settings in an attempt to eliminate comments from the orient that were just links to sex sites. That may have been the start of the problem. Also, upon investigating comment issues, I learned that Blogger has been having issues for awhile now with the embedded comments section. So, I followed the recommendations and selected the pop-up comments page feature. It seems to have taken care of the problem.

Now to the post topic...

Sweetie's DD and SIL were with us for most of the two weeks that they were in the US and it was a most enjoyable time.


Our first excursion was to Fort Mountain.


Next, we tubed the Coosawattee River (pictures are still on Sweetie's cell). Then we went up to Copperhill, TN for a trail ride. Even though we had a mix of rain and sunshine, we all really enjoyed the ride.


The next day we took the waterfall hike on the Wildcat Tract in Dawson Forest. What a beautiful place! They felt the need to climb even higher up (have movie of it) while we discussed the chances of getting a medivac helicopter in if one or both of them slipped.


We were more than content in the little pool at the base.

Going in(first 4 miles)the trail was rates white (easier) and the last 2.5 miles was rated blue (harder)...ALL UPHILL!!!!! OMG!!! Again, at times, I was wondering what our chances were of getting a chopper in to lift our old behinds out of there!!!

Tomorrow morning at 6 a.m., I leaving with three other ladies from the guild to go on a Shop Hop in eastern Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia...should be a great time.
