A Camping We Will Go!

August 17th, 2006 at 03:14 am

Hi All-

My weekend camp trip got extended a little. We had a lovely weekend and as we were getting ready to come home Sunday nite, we decided to take advantage of a vacant gorgeous campsite for this whole week!! I am home for a nite to wash some clothes and restock on some resonably priced groceries...then back up tomorrow until Sunday!!! (See Ray smile with delight) DH is commuting up. It is 50 miles each way, but we dont do big fancy vacations...and this is a real treat for us! so we are splurging on some gas to get DH to the site so we can sit by the fire and watch the river each night.

During the day I am all alone in a beautiful site with great places to walk, a lovely view, some very friendly chipmunks and a bag of unsalted peanuts to feed them...and plenty of RnR time.

We are cooking all our food there...except for last night. We went to the local diner and had a wonderful dinner, and splurged on homemade, fresh blackberry pie ala mode....ummm, can you say YUM!

The coupon train got mailed off again yesterday and is on its way, priority mail, to the next on the list.

I am using my free time up there to re-read the tightwad gazzette. The book 'Not Buying It' that I had reserved was here at the library today, so I will take that back up with me too.

Ive been walking each day and drinking lots of water...

This truly was a very unexpected, yet welcome surprise. Hope all of you are having a nice week as well!

    Woo hoo! I was worried when I hadn't heard from you, but so glad you are enjoying such a nice time! Yes, well worth the gas for hubby! You lovebirds have fun!

    I was starting to wonder where you'd disappeared to, too. Glad you are having a wonderful time. I just got the Complete Tightwad Gazette out of the library yesterday. I think I've read it six times and I do have the individual books but they don't have it all, so I like to read the big one once a year.

    Hope you like the Not Buying it Book. It rubbed me wrong in places but did have a few interesting bits, too.

    It's so nice to see you enjoying such simple pleasures. Relaxing by the fire, feeding the chipmunks. And it's so nice when you can do smething on impulse like that, extending your vacation. Good for you!
