Well, getting here was starting to feel like an ordeal, but we finally made it. After a busy week helping a friend paint almost her whole house, a wedding, a car that refused to be fixed, a flat tire, struggles with the bike rack, keys locked in the van and having to borrow a vehicle, we are actually camping.
It’s quiet now, the two little guys went out like a light once I was finally able to get them in bed. The rest of the family is over at our friends’ campfire, but I am glad to have a minute to myself, with just the noise of the crickets and some muffled laughter from the campfires nearby. I’m drinking tea from a mug with jack-o-lantern on it and eating a blueberry scone. It has rained off and on all day, but not enough to keep us from enjoying a shrimp boil with our friends or visiting around the fire.
