Yes, that is how we all feel this morning! We were able to do a quick 4 day get away from Thursday thru Sunday. We headed to one of our kids favorite places, the Yogi Bear camp between Holland and Grand Haven. This was the 9thyear we have camped there. It all started with three kids, (the twins were three months old) in a pop-up camper. Yes, we were younger then! Our camper has evolved through the years. We spent three years in an expandable, then moved on to our current camper. It has all the "comforts of home". Which for me includes a potty and air conditioning. We really don't rough it much.
The kids were thrilled to have their daddy to themselves. Plenty of time to play catch, Skipbo and Phase 10. There were also many bike rides, (Thomas had a major breakdown and ended up with a new bike) and swims in the pool. It just all went by much too quick!
Now we are back home and facing a garden with weeds and it looks like the first crop of cucumbers. I have run out of most of my pickles and relish, so let the canning season begin.
Tomorrow night is a 4-H meeting.....sign-up for the county fair is just days away. How did that happen already???? A wedding on Saturday.....and the first thoughts of school clothes. The start of school will be here before we know it.
We will manage to sneak away for a 5 day weekend in a couple weeks. Hope to pick some peaches while we are up there. My early research is a bit scary though. I found a website for an orchard up that direction and they are saying there are limits to the crop and that U-pick would be 69 cents a pound. I found a website that says there are 50 pounds of peaches in a bushel. I did the math and got depressed. That would make a bushel $34.50!!!!! Hoping the orchard we found off the beaten path last year will be less than that, YIKES!!!!!!
Enough rambling.......I'm off to the garden. The heat is coming and I want to be done before it gets here.
