Hi everyone,
I’ll see you soon, but wanted to at least make this an open forum for today so you could all chat amongst each other…
Blessings, Jeanne

Hi all, sorry I was a no-show yesterday; I’ve been having computer issues, starting Saturday night. I can’t get one of my email addresses to load at all, and was having trouble with Facebook, too–at first, I couldn’t watch reels, scroll very far, or view any of the chat messages; that seems to be back to normal now, though. However, I’m going to take my computer to the Geek Squad tomorrow afternoon and we’ll see what’s what.
Jeanne, I’m sorry to hear George is still in the hospital, but it seems that is where he needs to be right now. That is certainly a LOT of fluid to be removed! Hopefully this will not recur! But if it does, they know what needs to be done.
Linda thanks so much for sending Jeanne those wonderful camping pictures. As others have said, the little stove is really wonderful.
Sissy, I do hope you are feeling much better by now!! You are in my prayers.
Camping memories:
I remember going to Fortune Lake Bible Camp in Upper Michigan when I was quite young–with my parents and brother, as daddy was the chaplain one week. At that time, only the main kitchen had running water, so the “bathrooms” were glorified outhouses with stalls! There might have been a cold water tap to wash hands. And I remember standing on the little stoop by the front door of our family’s cabin, brushing my teeth with a glass of water to wet my brush, and “spitting” over the rail! Later they did install real restrooms, etc., and I remember being a regular camper there, at least one year, possibly more. I think my cousin Carol was there one year, too, but memory of that time is hazy. I remember buying a bottle of RC Cola (which I still love and drink) at the canteen–put your nickel in the slot and slide the bottle along the tracks and pull it out!
My aunt and uncle had a cabin on Lake Michigan, complete with an outhouse, and we spent lots of time at their cabin every summer. Eventually they sold just the cabin, moved it over the frozen lake to its new home, and my uncle built a lovely big home on that site.
When Ron and I were dating, he enthusiastically talked about camping, suggesting he would get a sleeping bag that would zip onto his, and another air mattress, so after we were married we could go on camping trips! Oh, yay. 😑🥴 Well, I said, that sounded like a fine idea, as long as there was somewhere to plug in my sewing machine!! 😄 That took care of that idea. His little tent, sleeping bag and air mattress are still all rolled up in our basement, 52 years later! He did get the sleeping bag out once, when he was cold and wanted extra covers, I think, but that was it.
My idea of roughing it is no room service! 😂
I meant to add, today had its challenges. My car was hit as I was turning left and she was turning right (from opposite directions); I was in my left lane, but she crossed the line from the right lane. Fortunately this young lady was raised right, as she stopped, and so did I, and we exchanged information. She had insurance, too! I will be calling both insurance companies tomorrow; didn’t have time today. My son was in the car with me, and we are all okay.
