QUICK UPDATE


Jamin
gives Michael a copy of his book, I still need to call you Becky and get your copy off to you....



Saturday - The day was spent checking out all the systems on the trailer, loading the trailer etc.


Sunday - We left for the local lake. This is not to be a "camping" trip per se....but a chance for us to try out all the systems on the trailer before we leave. It also gets ALL of us away from home, so that no one knows where we are and we can reconnect. Josiah ran into town for a graduation meeting.

Monday - More fun at the lake....geocaching, basketball, tennis, playgrounds, crochet, boccie (photos will follow when the camera is here). Mike had to go to base to begin in-processing.


Tuesday - Mike had to go to base early this a.m. to finish in-processing. The orderly room told him that he has two weeks off starting WEDNESDAY (tomorrow). Because of other obligations we have decided not to leave and go camping until the 27th. This may give us time to work on that Honey Do list before we hit the trail.

Mike wants to spend another night at the lake tonight...we will. We're home now. I'm making produce co-op calls (letting everyone know we are not doing produce NEXT Fri. as I'll be camping), doing a bit of laundry, grabbing food and clothes for another night at the lake. Mike has gone to the RV dealer to buy other little things he's discovered we need on this quick "camping" trip.

We're having a blast. We'll be in contact when we get home.....more photos tomorrow....I knew I should have grabbed the camera when we left to come back to the house.

I am so glad you've had a chance to get away and reconnect! You've all be in my prayers. How is Stacia doing with daddy?

Glad to hear that you're out and enjoying being mostly unplugged from life these past days. I kind of like the 'trial run' of your camping to work out the kinks before you go on your big adventure. See you Friday...LMK if you want me to take Arielle and Nolan with me along with my 2 baskets of fruit ;-)

It sounds like you are having a great time all together! I am so happy for you all. Definitely am praying for lots of great quality time for you all before life has to get back to normal. Then again, what is normal?

FUN FUN! It might be kind of nice to live out there in the camper for as long as possible... coming in to the house just long enough to do whatever you need to do (LOL)!

Debbie said...

Thanks so much for updating us! I've been thinking and praying for you all as you spend these first few days getting acquainted again.

What a wonderful idea to take the camper for a trial run. It was great that you could go someplace close enough to make the quick trips home.

Look forward to seeing some pix soon.

Now I'm thinking we should try our camper out, too... we haven't even been in it since we brought home. I bet the boys would have fun sleeping in it even if it's just in the back yard.

Hey all - great fun. A few things I miss about camping a bit more primitive...but since it's been so windy and they are forecasting thunder...we were GLAD to have a hard sided trailer....I keep waiting for rain on the canvas as THAT is the sounds that says camping to me. LOL

Deja - let me get back to you.....that may be a good idea....
