An unexpected bonus from the camping experience was that, after I stopped being whiny about my son being gone, my husband and I did get to go out and do some stuff that we don't normally do.
Lots of eating out at restaurants and shopping. We even went to a bar! OK, it was a restaurant on a lake that sold alcohol, but it was as close to a bar as I've been in years.
FYI, this covered bridge is in a park not far from here and has nothing to do with camp. I just wanted some outdoorsy photos for the post. I think that is called using artistic license.
YAY! So glad it was a good week for all! ~Sally
ReplyDeleteYou use that artistic license any way you want! I love the pics of the covered bridge!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all survived the camp experience with good memories. I know you are glad to have him home! Best, Vicki
Glad tht Max is back safe and sound. I know you missed him but glad you had a little fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and what a cute bridge! Glad your son (and you) had a nice time:@)
ReplyDeleteAwesome Pam. Big win for all.
ReplyDeleteLove those pictures! So glad Max is home safe and sound. I bet he does have the best smile! I know Gage has the best smile in our family. I don't have a I-phone--but I do have a smart phone. I am going to ask his assistant about apps--thanks for telling me about them!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he's home!
ReplyDeleteBut since you partied/ate so much, are you going to blame your weight gain on him?

I'll bet you are so happy to have him home safe and sound! But what a great experience for him. And it sounds like for you too....glad you had some fun!!

I'm so glad you were all able to enjoy yourselves. We spent the end of the week with out our WeeMan and in spite of the sadness of leaving him with grammy - I ended up enjoying the time. I forgot what it was like to go to Goodwill and actually be able to go in a dressing room and try on clothes!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics.
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone had a great week. Glad to hear that.
:)
FUN...So glad you son had a great time:) And so did you and the hubby. Much needed by all.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that it turned out to be a good experience for everyone.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week for all of you! I really like the photos of your "artistic license."
ReplyDeleteI love these covered bridges Pam!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your son had a wonderful time at camp! My son flew out on Monday to Ontario. He is staying with my parents for the summer. So much to do back home. I will be joining him in August!
Hi. I read your comment on Brenda's blog. This happened to me with a friend. It is so hard to forget and move on. Esp. when they make other purchases that they can't afford. I think it was easier with a friend than a relative.
