Since Mama fell and broke her hip in 2006, we haven’t been hiking. Didn’t want to leave Mama at home alone. But we did love hiking, so we decided to start back hiking again.

Yesterday we went back to our first hike location, Raven Cliff Falls and took a hike. It was a lot harder than what we remembered! We are really going to have to work hard to get back in shape!

Raven Cliff Falls is a 2 1/2 mile hike up to the falls and 2 1/2 mile hike back out for a total of 5 miles. We made it up to the Falls and had our lunch sitting on the rocks hanging out over the river. Very nice. Just as we finished eating and before we were packed back up, it started raining – really hard! Luckily, we had our rain ponchos, so we got those on and headed back out – sloshing all the way!

So – first new hike – we were wet and sore – but we did it! Good day!!

Killing The Blues – Alison Krauss & Robert Plant

Leaves Were Falling
Just Like Embers
In Colors Red And Gold
They Set Us On Fire
Burning Just Like
A Moonbeam
In Our Eyes

Somebody Said They
Saw Me
Swinging The World
By The Tail
Bouncing Over
A White Cloud
Killing The Blues

Now I Am Guilty
Of Something
I Hope You Never Do
Because There Is Nothing
Sadder Than Losing
Yourself In Love

Somebody Said They
Saw Me
Swinging The World
By The Tail
Bouncing Over
A White Cloud
Killing The Blues

Now You Ask Me
Just To Leave You
To Go Out
On My Own
And Get What
I Need To
You Want Me
To Find
What I’ve Already Had

Somebody Said They
Saw Me
Swinging The World
By The Tail
Bouncing Over
A White Cloud
Killing The Blues

Somebody Said They
Saw Me
Swinging The World
By The Tail
Bouncing Over
A White Cloud
Killing The Blues

This Is My Song – Petula Clark

Why Is My Heart So Light
Why Are The Stars So Bright
Why Is The Sky So Blue
Since The Hour I Met You

Flowers Are Smiling Bright
Smiling For Our Delight
Smiling So Tenderly
For The World, You And Me

I Know Why The World Is Smiling
Smiling So Tenderly
It Hears The Same Old Story
Through All Eternity

Love, This Is My Song
Here Is A Song, A Serenade To You
The World Cannot Be Wrong
If In This World, There Is You

I Care Not What The World May Say
Without Your Love, There Is No Day
So Love, This Is My Song
Here Is A Song
A Serenade To You

I Care Not What The World May Say
Without Your Love, There Is No Day
So Love, This Is My Song
Here Is A Song
A Serenade To You

I Hope That I Won’t Be That Wrong Anymore
I Hope That I’ve Learned This Time
I Hope That I Find What I’m Looking For
The Way That It Is In My Mind

Someday I’ll Get Over You
I’ll Live To See It All Through
But I’ll Always Miss
Dreaming My Dreams With You

I Won’t Let It Change Me, Not If I Can
I’d Rather Believe In Love
And Give It Away As Much As I Can
To Those That I’m Fondest Of

Someday I’ll Get Over You
I’ll Live To See It All Through
But I’ll Always Miss
Dreaming My Dreams With You

Someday I’ll Get Over You
I’ll Live To See It All Through
But I’ll Always Miss
Dreaming My Dreams With You

I Won’t Let It Change Me, Not If I Can
I’d Rather Believe In Love
And Give It Away As Much As I Can
To Those That I’m Fondest Of

Someday I’ll Get Over You
I’ll Live To See It All Through
But I’ll Always Miss
Dreaming My Dreams With You

There Are People Who Are Whispering
And The Rumors Are Running Wild
There’s A Woman Who’s Not Married
But She’s Gonna Have A Child.

Her Name Is Mary She’s A Virgin
From Down In Nazareth Now Listen Close
She’s Gonna Marry A Man Named Joseph
But The Baby’s Father Is The Holy Ghost

And Who Do You Think Could Believe Such A Thing
Could Believe That This Story Is True
Who Do You Think Could Believe Such A Thing
Well Here’s Hopin’ To Heaven You Do

Now They’re Sayin’ She Had The Baby
In A Barn In Bethlehem
And The Star Moved ‘Round The Heaven
Till It Stopped Right Over Them

Then Some Shepherds Said An Angel
Came And Told Them ‘Bout The Birth
They Always Knew Men Went To Heaven
But Now God Had Come To Earth

And Who Do You Think Could Believe Such A Thing
Could Believe That This Story Is True
Who Do You Think Could Believe Such A Thing
Well Here’s Hopin’ To Heaven You Do

I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas
Just Like The Ones I Used To Know
Where The Treetops Glisten
And Children Listen
To Hear Sleigh Bells In The Snow

I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas
With Every Christmas Card I Write
May Your Days Be Merry And Bright
And May All Your Christmases Be White

The Sun Is Shining, The Grass Is Green
The Orange And Palm Trees Sway
There’s Never Been Such A Day
In Beverly Hills LA

But It’s December The Twenty Fourth
And I Am Longing To Be Up North

I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas
Just Like The Ones I Used To Know
Where The Treetops Glisten
And Children Listen
To Hear Sleigh Bells In The Snow

I’m Dreaming Of A White Christmas
With Every Christmas Card I Write
May Your Days Be Merry And Bright
And May All Your Christmases Be White

Christmas Makes You Feel Emotional
It May Bring Parties Or Thoughts Devotional
Whatever Happens, Whatever May Be
This Is What Christmas Time Means To Me

City Sidewalks, Busy Sidewalks
Dressed In Holiday Style
In The Air There’s A Feeling Of Christmas
Children Laughing, People Passing
Meeting Smile After Smile
And On Every Street Corner You Hear

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It’s Christmas Time In The City
Ring-A-Ling, Hear Them Ring
Soon It Will Be Christmas Day
