Isn't it weird how an older mind works?
So, first Sgt. Knoll posted an album from back when I first joined the Army. So that brought me back to a memory of My Mom, watching the Sound of Music...which she loved.
And that brought back a memory of when I went to Salzburg and sat by the fountain in the movie.
And That ...led to how the mountains are everywhere.
And That ...well, led to how I used to march right off the ship I was on at the time, and straight up hill. And some of those hills...were steep. The first picture is in a fjord in Norway...and you can just see the ship at the bottom. A lovely hike. and if you see the hairpin road on the other side of the fjord...I did that hike too!
Unless Kathy was with me, it was hard to talk anyone else to go uphill. They just wanted the Internet cafe, and to taste the local beer.
And That led me to his real time realization:
I can't physically do any of those hikes now. Nope. My driveway is the biggest hill in my neighborhood....it rises maybe three feet from the street to the steps. And on bad days...well, it is a hike. LOL
But I have the memories. And I think one of the reasons I haven't had a heart attack (yet) is those uphill things I used to do.
And in my mind ...the Hills are Alive...with the Sound Of Music.
