She keeps taking lessons and doing exams! And she's always scared! Hope all is well with you!

I am determined to learn to negotiate a rock wall because I'd love to climb rocks in Krabi, Thailand like my sister-i-l did with her son.<br />First I've got to master a pull-up! One pull-up! LOL!

I almost always had to sit with my brother who loved nothing more than to rock the seat. And that first time going over the top when the wheel spun always lifted my stomach to my throat! That reminds me of a book that Bikbik and Roro might enjoy ~ Natalie Babbit's "Tuck Everlasting." My nephew worked as a window washer during the summer. I must ask him how the heights were! Thanks for the link! I will check it out! Sorry for the late reply ~ among other things, we were out of town for the weekend. I hope all is well with you, hubby, and family!

I can do a chair lift, although I will admit that they can scare me. They remind me of being trapped at the top of a huge ferris wheel with my maniac brother. He loved nothing more than to rock the seat when we were stopped at the top, just to see me freak out! Brothers! You gotta love them! Hope all is well with you and that the slopes get a good dump of snow this weekend! Take care!

I would love to walk in Point Pleasant Park with you all this summer! No E-P though. He's heading for Honolulu and London, and we better be doing more than a touch and go landing in Reykjavík! He's also planning for Bergen or Paris or somewhere else (has to make up his mind). He is definitely on the Dutchess's !@#$%^ list! And I think things are a little out of control now!

I remember my Dad taking me up on this massive ferris wheel when I was little and how my heart was pounding as we climbed up bit by bit while passengers got on.

My son has that classic pic of construction workers sitting on a girder above NYC eating lunch. I can't even imagine! I wonder if a chair lift would scare you? My s-i-l has fear of heights and panicked when I once took her on the quad lift (which isn't really very high.)

I knew better than to sign up, since I'm not on top of what I've got going now. So what's a girl to do but go to Black Hawk for the weekend and relax! LOL! I haven't reached that I'm retired I can do whatever whenever point yet. It's hard to unwind "driven!" I'm so glad that things are sailing smoothly for The Trinity right now!

Sophie and I joined a novel writing blog called NanoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month). I was a bit nervous about it on Tuesday because my presentation was for Nov 6 Wed....it went well. Such a cool way to present a mystery cliffhanger novel for dog lovers in this case. <br />Things are going very well especially since my brother and SIL visited. <br />Life throws curves and we handles our curves very well, much stronger. <br /><br />Have a great evening and Hi to Terry!!<br />Ronfromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-43701612869755438632013-11-06T15:23:06.069-07:002013-11-06T15:23:06.069-07:00I hope we're going to make it to the Middle Ea...I hope we're going to make it to the Middle East this year! Hey, I have a link for you: http://selkiegrey4.blogspot.com/2013/03/blast-from-past-petit-passage-nova.html<br />You can copy it and go to it. Last week I had over 650 hits on my Petit Passage post from last March.<br />A ferry boat captain left a comment as did a couple of other Islanders. They remembered you. The captain (who enjoyed my post Woop! Woop!) does the run on the Joe Casey from Freeport to Westport. When I come to NS in the summer, we've got to go to the Islands and whaling! Love you. By the way, I think Terry suffers from fear of traveling with the MacBeath sisters!

I can't still clearly see you and MacBeath below me when I was stranded on that cinder cone! Now you know why I've dubbed Terry the E-P, because he has to deal with me all the time! He gets frustrated that I always want to get to the top of things, the bottom of things, the end of things, around the next and the next corner.

I thought I had a secure rope attached to me, the first time I leaned backwards over a cliff ~ and then I flipped upside down and smacked into the cliff. I remember thinking, "If I think about this, I'm gonna be dead!" Fortunately I was with a good guide who was a friend of mine. And he made me go right back down over the top of the cliff again! It is a mental game, and the moment I think about it ~ it's all over. I'll take any help I can get. If I could just structure myself! I'm always getting distracted or surprised by unexpected things.

I have to say that after decades of trying to get over my fear of heights, it's gotten a little better. But it's hard. I've cried and shaken my way up and down three of Colorado's Fourteeners. I guess I just don't want to miss out on anything!

I was entranced with them and with the people who worked on them. Everyone wanted to run me off when I first showed up as a well site geologist, but somehow I won them over. When I rode the "elevator" that day, I was telling myself, "It's a good day to die!" MY boss told me that if I rode it, he would fire me. But I didn't care. I was not going to be a "cherry" wellsite geologist any more! After I did it, the hands all told me no other geologist had been crazy enough to do that! And my boss didn't fire me, he just rolled his eyes! I've done okay with Looney Toons!
