Eric,
Well, let me finish drying my face after your precious words and just say that I am so relieved to find out you are not superhuman. I was beginning to wonder about that the way you effortlessly bounded through waterfalls, up legdes, over cliffs and the like. On the way home I made it my personal goal to race you up triple falls next year ( if we're fortunate enough to be there). Not to say that I need to WIN to meet my goal - just to be past the first waterfall when you're landing atop the third.
And about this comment:
: Cecelia & Diana: The party animals!!!!
I'll have you know Cecelia is the quintessential party animal and I'm just along as dampening material to protect the world from her. You should have been around her about 20 years ago - Whew!!!
But seriously, I can not begin to express how much your Mother Ducking added to our Gathering experience. You and Sharon are too, too precious. And *Bless Your Hearts*, as us southern belles tend to say.
Keep a good watch on our mountains while we have to be away,
Diana
**OH, you now how to identify a real Southerner? A NON-southerner will comment on an "ill-favored" girl, " That poor girl is so ugly". But, a southerner will say " That poor girl is so ugly, bless her heart!"
