In the late afternoon, Aug. 4th, everyone, including Jay's boys Sean, Austin and Brandon, went to Downtown Spokane and visited the riverwalk park area, which was the site of the 1974 World's Fair. The first event was the gandona ride over the waterfalls. The gandolas are enclosed and very hot -- about 100 degrees. Nancy said something that prompted me to pour a little water down her back. She tried to grab the water bottle away from me and we struggled over the bottle, smashing it to a twisted heap and spilling the contents all over Jay's lap! It was perfect, really! The waterfalls are really pretty and flow over lava rock. The whole area is built over lava rock.
The title comes from all the years of singing the song to my kids and my grandkids, and them to their kids. A song from my school choir days. But it has a religious angle, too: We are always trying to Climb the Mountain; we fall sometimes, but we must keep climbing to get back to our Father in Heaven. I'm a writer, editor, singer, sports fan -- and I'm a Mormon!
