The last camping of the season and are we lucky! It could just as easily have been 35 degrees and rainy, which would have been no fun; but, sun, blue crisp skies, 60 degrees. Diana and Peggy rented a cabin right on the lake, but, unable to secure one of those, we decided to take a chance on camping. Turkey dinner made in the little camper stove would have been tough, but the cabin has a full kitchen. Mimosas while cooking, turkey, stuffing, (and dressing as Nancy won't eat the stuff in the bird) mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, butternut squash and apple casserole, broccoli casserole, peas, onions, cranberry relish, jello and carrot salad, gravy, rolls and apple pie with ice cream! Isn't that just NUTS for 4 people.....and we get to do it all again this evening.
There is wonderful hiking for all of us -especially the dogs- to enjoy, not to mention the lake. I think our kids would break the ice to reach the water so they could swim.
Today we are thankful for our health; our wonderful friends and supportive families; the jobs we have that allow us to have plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful place we live and places we visit; and two dogs who are well behaved and make us smile every day.
So tomorrow we will go home, winterize the camper and cover it up for four months. Time to hibernate a little and enjoy Virginia's next season.
