  1. We took our 10 year old grandson camping Thursday through
    Sunday. Mind you, DH made the plans with our next door
    neighbors in January, when April 1st sounded warm. NOT!!!

    We used my brother's pop-up camper (I haven't been camping
    in 20+ years, and NEVER in cold weather). It was cold,
    rainy, cold, windy, COLD, bone chilling cold. Thank goodness
    we were in a site with electricity - I brought an electric
    heater and an electric blanket, which my grandson and I
    cuddled under every night. (DH made the plans, DH managed in
    a sleeping bag - which got wet).

    Program went out the window - we ate whatever was warm and
    easy. That included marshmallows and s'mores, popcorn
    cooked over an open fire the final (and only) night which
    was clear. I also cooked my sneakers cozying up too close
    to the fire.

    The bathrooms were about 1/4 of a mile UP a hill. Docks were
    about the same distance down the hill (which had to be
    walked UP to get back to the camper). And that's probably
    the only thing that saved me at weigh in tonight. I managed
    to lose 1 lb! What doesn't kill me makes me stronger,
    right?!?!?! Well, I didn't have a heart attack. Just felt
    like it. ;>😉

    Oh - to add insult to injury - didn't catch a single fish.
    Grandson caught the only fish, too small to keep.

    I haven't strayed from the fireplace today, except to go to
    WI.

    (We really did have fun. I think.)

    Same here! These days camping means hot showers on the
    doorstep and guaranteed good weather! Back garden
    sounds good!

    Well done on the weight loss, Sharon - maybe it was all the
    shivering!

  5. Well, I think camping sounds terrific, ignoring the chilly
    rainy weather (G)
