m report:
(kind of short and sweet)
came home early yesterday; just a little run down after almost a week with the flu followed by a wonderful stint with insomnia...i was a little grumpy, okay? (well, not really--sorry folks.)all that aside. Rob, Aunt Cathy and Lee are amazing
hosts. if you head up there now, i am certain they will make every effort to feed you. do not leave your appetite at home with this crowd. the adults are probably still asleep; but i can almost guarantee you all the kids are awake. ask me how i know.
we learned all kinds of things can be done with gummy bears.
i learned how to play dominoes.
there was some cut throat group solitaire game going on.
i learned that three kids can play one piano at the same time and make it sound like avant garde jazz.
got there friday afternoon, after the last portion of my directions had me driving in a small circle for about 20 minutes. Rob and all the kids came out to unload my car, i said hi to Cathy and Lee, then Rob and me headed down to Manchester Airport to retrieve Keith.
Rob drove my car. oh man.
as if there wasn't enough food there already, we had to make a supermarket stop for more stuff--TP and hot peppers--no joke. huge market, thought i was gonna get lost in there. Rob shops like he writes. very detailed and all over the place at the same time.
did i mention Rob drove my car?
got back to camp. the Canadian contingency was there. 12 hours on the road. Nancy drove 2 hours. don't let John try to tell you any differently. Adam is officially a roadtripper now. he was in the car for 12 hours and only asked, "how much further?" 14 times.
************************************************************
we had plenty of snow for tubing and snowmovehicle riding.
though not enough moisture in the air or snow for a snow ball, let alone a snow dog.
Keith became a black coffee convert with a dose or 5 of my "special" brew, John and Nancy are going shopping for a coffee press. we powered through a pound of the good stuff in little over 24 hours.
Mark and me played some music in the barn; but it was darn cold enough that we couldn't feel our right hands. made picking an interesting proposition.
certainly the other folks can and will give you a more thorough report. just wanted to post a couple of pics and a brief rundown of my time. i'd write more now but i have to get ready for work and i haven't done the GA countdown yet. i am certain Thom has been pacing at his computer for hours...
(just a note about the wall decor--remember this is a church camp) no affiliation for us 'cept it's where we hung out for the weekend.
