I have just learned about Active Rain today and decided I'd "get my feet wet" and try this blogging thing.  I live in Boone, North Carolina, which I have affectionately nick named "Close to heaven."  It is a BEAUTIFUL place to live.  The air is clean, there are no mosquitos in the higher elevations here, and it is A/C optional living.  Sound like heaven?  I thought so too...so I moved here after attending three time 1-AA football champion school Apalachian State University.  The people here are wonderful.  Everyone is so helpful, and courteous.  Oh Sure, You run into the occasional rude driver from out of state, but for the most part, it is wonderful...come visit if you ever have the chance.  I think you'll agree.  Can't wait to "Learn" from you experienced Active Rain folks.  What I've seen so far is great and I'm sure I will learn a lot from reading the blogs.  Have a great weekend!

I hope someday to be able to visit more of those heavenly places....I still find myself (after living here for 23 years) stopping on the Blue Ridge Parkway and just being amaze at how beautiful it is...Just awed by the serenity of what God created here!  I can't imagine anything more beautiful, but I'm sure it's out there!  Maybe one day I'll get to see it!

Hi Shelly:  Welcome to Active Rain.  Sorry about that occasional rude driver you see in Boone.  They are probably from New York.  LOL.  I am betting you will find the folks here on Active Rain just about as friendly as they are where you live.  Here is a link that Blog - NEW MEMBERS - Start Here many newbies find helpful.  Just click on the link, and you'll find lots of good stuff.  Take care...
