Dear Teacher,
My family went camping on summer vacation. I usually don’t like camping because there are too many bugs and if it rains it isn’t any fun. You just sit in the tent and hope it doesn’t blow away in the storm or something and everything gets soggy and you can’t swim and it’s boring. [...]
While we were happily living out of tents (as was one of Mr. B’s brothers), his other brother and parents were across the campground on (oh, how I hate to say it) electric sites. In campers. His parents have an itty bitty pop-up camper, but his brother’s family have a 27 foot house on wheels. [...]
No, I’m not turning into that Hilton bimbo. But now that I’m (almost) caught up on the laundry, I thought I’d share a couple of pictures from vacation before I dash off to take BD to swim practice.
The accomodations were definitely spartan.
However, the view out the front door was wonderful.
And at night it was positively spectacular.
To [...]
Yes, we are back from our camping trip. So glad to know that I was missed. I will post more about our vacation in the days to come, but for now, I’ll just ask this: do you know those vacations where everything goes wrong? Traffic delays, lousy weather, people bickering, and [...]
OK, we’re off on our luxurious vacation, and you’re on your own for awhile!
Since the campground barely gets cellphone reception, I think the chances of finding a wireless connection are negligible. So HS’s laptop will stay home. Good thing, since it would probably end up full of sand.
I thought about writing entries in advance for [...]
I know I shouldn’t be drinking caffeine this late, but if you’re the one who took the Diet Coke I brought home from Arby’s, would you please give it back?
We’re heading off to our vacation home this weekend. Actually, I suppose it would be more accurate to say that we’re heading off with our vacation home, since it gets packed in the back of the van. Yes, it’s a tent.
And, yes, I am going to be camping for a week. Sleeping on the ground [...]
It occurred to me that I never followed up this with a review of Revenge of the Sith, which we saw on Sunday. If you haven’t seen it yet, be warned there may be spoilers below. But I promise not to tell you than Anakin turns into Darth Vader.
Still no Liam Neeson, but a huge [...]
“Hi, Mom, it’s HS. I just got back from my second run to the hospital.”
Turns out he was taking campers who needed attention (one for stitches and a diabetic with low blood sugar). He was obviously just trying to get a rise out of me.
The saddest part is that he learned this little trick from [...]
We tend to be a little behind in our movie viewing. Not only do we miss most films in the theater, we often don’t catch them on video till they’ve been out quite awhile. Having decided that we really wanted to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith on the big screen, we [...]
