We are getting things packed up for a weekend of camping. I will in the wilderness for the next three days--beyond the reach of cell service and Internet access. I'll have a good book or two, some knitting project, my crossword and sudoku puzzles, binoculars and camera, and some walking shoes and canoe paddles. Quiet time. I hope it warms up. The climatic conditions have gone pretty haywire. We had warmer weather in April than we had in June. Today the temperature is 56--way too cold for our brief summer season, too cold for camping in my book--but that is supposed to change by Saturday. Gotta go do some shopping. We do eat quite elegantly when we camp if nothing else.
On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before.

This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all.

ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful to me. We are apartment dwellers by choice but sometimes in the summer I wonder about our choice. It's 59 here today. With the windows and doors open the noise level is unbelievable. It's the season people move in and move out, all the machinary is running to keep the landscape well groomed, people are outside a lot more. I believe people from India think you must be outside to talk on your cell phone. Then there's the apartment pool people have been enjoying for weeks now, even though the temperatures have been in the low 60s. I would love a week-end away from all the noise.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. Love to camp and right now we are having awesome weather. However since everyone else is going this week end, think I will go kayaking middle of next week if the weather holds. A trick my RVing brother taught me.
ReplyDeleteFood tastes so much better out of doors. Have a great 4th.
Camping food is the best part about camping, in my opinion.
