**Dalin**...
Our second camping trip. This time I hope we are better prepared. I
have a fridge full of real food and a deck of cards and bath towels!
All of which we forgot our first time.

Joy...


Obviously I'm too late to say have a good time, but I hope you did anyway.
If you even read this. You'll probably have to mark everything as read when
you get home. ;-)


We'll leave here around 11 a.m. just going to a campground on the
other side of the lake maybe an hour from here. We'll come back on
Thurs. It's in the woods and very pretty. Pull through sites, David
will love that. There is a nice camp store, a pavillion where they
show movies at night, and I'm really looking forward to it.

We bought a little tabletop charcoal grill so David can cook out some
hamburgers, (if we remember the charcoal) and two nice nylon camp
chairs with a drink holder. If we wanted to we could even bring our
microwave and our small 13" tv, but we don't want.

It IS supposed to rain - 50% chance - on Tues.-Thurs. Next project in
the spring will be getting a screened in covered porch that is made
for our camper. I hope. Maybe just a tarp before that to hang over a
clothesline between two trees.

Anyway, I am looking forward to being away four days in the woods,
roughing it (as we know roughing it, JD would laugh) and NO COMPUTERS!
Time to read, play games with each other, enjoy a walk around the
private lake (if it doesn't rain) time to look at the stars through
the trees, maybe even buy some wood for a fire at night and toast a
marshmallow. I haven't done that in years!

Norma...
Enjoy
Enjoy :)
Come back rested

david...
Or with mosquito bites... :)

dalin and david are off to camp
and their enthusiasm you cannot damp
despite the bugs, despite black flies
in their camper, true harmony lies...

do they sweat?, are they wet?, are their dreams sometimes unmet?
find some wood, is it good?, a fire is glowing under the hood
Shadow squiggles, Dalin giggles, david knows the place is right

You probably won't see this but just in case you do want you know I'll be
waiting for the details of another camping adventure in the lives of Linda
and David.


**Dalin**...
I will enjoy! But it's like this - you come back all rested, then
spend three hours unpacking the camper. LOL!

beneath the stars, under the trees, our joy is knowing the total night.

as the fireplace crackles, as sparks rise alight
evening shadows lurk, and we love the rising night
while the sun sinks westward, as fireflies adorn
the night is priceless, darkness is born.

Sue...
That was wonderful. Have a great time.
