Rainy Days and Mondays, Tuesdays...

Well, it would seem that Spring is the rainy season here.:-) It's not a constant thing so you can get in and out without being drenched if you watch weather channel religiously: they even have a Nashville channel that is 24/7 Middle Tennessee weather! (Another thing I love about living in the Boro)!  I had to turn the air on in the apartment yesterday, not because of heat, but the humidity in the still air of the apartment was nearly suffocating. After 10+ years in West Texas t it's going to take some time to get used to moisture:-) 

Last weekend we went to Fall Creek Falls with the Boyles. We ate at the Inn Friday night: they had an all you can eat seafood buffet which Mike and Connie indulged in: David had grilled salmon from the menu (to keep from binging on the buffet) and I had a rather flavorless grilled chicken breast. It was interesting watching the Boyles pick the tiny bits of (opilio) crabmeat from their stacks of the "Deadliest Catch" . That's a lot of danger and a lot of work for something so labor-intensive and stinky:-) 

Fall Creek Falls is a beautiful park, rivaling any we've seen in all of our travels. There are miles of hiking trails, incredible waterfalls, 4 suspension bridges, (make sure you never walk on one when David's around), trees, trees, and more trees. We were blessed with a break in the rain for our outdoors adventure. We all were sore the next day from using all those climbing muscles. http://fallcreekfalls.ning.com/photo

 We ate dinner Saturday night at a Bed and Breakfast/Restaurant just outside of the park. The meal was very good and the owner/cook twisted our arms to make us try some fresh fried pies for dessert. Mike and Connie shared a peach pie and David and I shared a coconut cream fried pie. They were warm and came with homemade vanilla ice cream...a perfect ending to a great day of fun. We then went back to the Inn and played Mexican Train dominoes with Mike and Connie until we all ran out of steam at about 8:30.  Did I mention we love it here?
