Oh yes, the kids are SOOO protective- each one trying to outdo the other being helpful. At times, I wish they would just go home but realize if not for them, we couldn’t live so independently. One daughter does my weekly shopping (those box stores have such LONG aisles), another daughter goes to the library (I am an avid reader a couple books a week). Our library has Minerva where I can order books from any library in the state on my computer and the books are delivered to my library where daughter picks them up. Isn’t modern technology wonderful!!
Still love to camp. Have a couple reservations at state parks this summer. Going to give it a try. If it proves too difficult we will just go to a motel, but we love that hot cup of coffee lakeside in the morning at some remote area where the loons are singing.
Again, thanks for the ping and I will be following this thread.
That’s a wonderful resource, being able to order books from all over the state. We had that in Bakersfield as well. I’m not sure about here, I haven’t checked out the library here yet. I was going to get rid of most of my books but I ended up packing every single one of them. They were heavy to move, but I couldn’t leave my friends behind. So I still have plenty to read. I hit all the library and thrift store sales and got a lot of paper bacos for a dollar.
I remember you and your husband used to camp. I think it’s so neat you are still doing it. I agree, a cup of hot coffee first thing in the morning when it’s cool it’s delightful. It never tastes as good inside. I love camping in California because we would go up to the mountains to get away from the heat, and the nights would be so so chilly. Now I think that’s how camping should be. When we were in Texas and people were camping along the Nueces River when it was 100° with 80% humidity, I had no interest at all. It just seemed wrong somehow. I admired their fortitude to make the best of what they had, but I wasn’t there yet. We’re planning on camping here shortly, even found some nice campsites. But since the weather won’t be any different than our house, I’m thinking it will be disappointing unless we go and fall or spring. I imagine where you are, you always have that delightful coolness at night?
