I have nothing to say… I can say a whole lot about nothing
Let’s say my bathroom is the size of the United States. I have a spider in there taking up the space of the size of Texas! No kidding. He’s huge! If I were in Texas I wouldn’t be surprised at the size of this thing but I’m not. We don’t have things this big in the greater Seattle area do we?
I’m off… I’ve gotta go find a can of computer air spray AKA spider freeze spray before this thing escapes my bathroom.
We decided nearly last minute to go to church camp with the boys this year. Unbelievable how much effort goes into getting ready for camping. List making, menu planning, shopping, more shopping, packing suitcases, loading the vehicles. Why do we torture ourselves in such a way? Because the end result is camp and camp is always fun!
We loaded the car on Thursday night. Our intentions were to leave Thursday night… that didn’t happen. Everything was ready to go by 8:00 but instead of leaving we had a relaxing dinner out with my mom.
Friday morning bright and early DH packed the ice chest. Just like he packed the car. Never a good idea. I made him step away from the ice chest and I reloaded it so everything would fit. T- loaded it into the car then DH and I hit the road.
B- had to work a few hours so the boys didn’t get on the road till about 1:00. Oh that is whole ‘nother story in itself! They boys had friends from Oregon stay over and they were riding with B- to the camp grounds. We were expecting them into camp by 8 - 9ish that night. We were expecting A&L and family into camp by midnight. NO phone service at camp so we didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t sleep at all because they weren’t there. They made it safely sometime after 3 in the morning! Like I said… it is a whole long story involving a car breaking down at the rest area on Stevens Pass, more family coming to help out, meeting up with everyone in Brewster. At least they were all safe.
DH and I drove across the North Cascade Hwy and Loup Loup Hwy to camp. Beautiful drive! We stopped along the way and enjoyed a short hike. It was beautiful scenery. I’ll post photos later.
The weekend was wonderful. We caught up with friends and family from all over the states. Kids of all ages enjoyed volleyball tournaments, softball, hiking, singing, bike riding, etc…
We camped in the same cabin room as our kids. Our room was adjacent to a long room with more families. There were several babies and toddlers all under one roof. The rafters are open so you can hear everything in the cabin. It was sweet hearing the baby coos and giggles as they were waking up in the morning. I love that sound… I miss that early morning ritual. I miss it, but not enough to go back and do it all over again. I’m happy being a grandma!
DH and I left early. We came back the same way we travelled over. There was a lot more traffic on the way home. In fact, on the way over there was little traffic. Probably because we got such an early start.
Our boys were traveling with friends. They came back through Wenatchee where they all stopped and hung out for awhile. They travelled over Blewett Pass to Snoqualmie and home. They weren’t home till after midnight. Late night for a school & work night. I think we are all caught up on sleep now.
My daughter and SIL gave me the perfect gift for Mother’s day this year. It is a coffee table picture book of my baby grandaughter’s first six months. I love it! I thought with Father’s day coming up it is something to think about for the dad or grandpa in your life.
I was amazed at the quality of the book. It is simply stunning!! Mine is right there on the table… it is my new favorite book! Be sure to order yours early so it is delivered in time for Father’s day! Shutterfly.com
I admit it… I watched the View this morning. I watched long enough to know Rosie didn’t show up and there was no feud today. I haven’t watched the View since Martha has been on in the same time slot. I’d rather watch Martha any day! I’m glad I tuned in today. I didn’t know Elizabeth was pregnant. She is so cute!
