I was gone camping this weekend and had a wonderful time. I haven't been able to spend enough time with the camping club this year. Things keep getting in the way and have kept me from some of the campouts. But, this weekend was different. We spent a lot of time playing domino games, lawn games, sitting by the campfires and just plain visiting. It was another extremely hot weekend, but was still great.

Early last week we had a power outage in my area. I was out of power for about seventeen hours. Thankfully it came back on before my frozen food was affected but I spent one very uncomfortable day/night without any fans.

Tomorrow it's back to work for me. I hope all is going well for all of you. Take care..... kaci

We play a game called Mexican Railroad with the dominos. Almost every campout find some of us playing that and we often play it at home too. It's a lot of fun.

HI Kaci

Sounds like you had a great time. Used to play domino's when I was a kid but haven't played in a very long time. I am so glad you got to go camping and enjoy yourself. Thank heavens you didn't lose the stuff in your freezer that would be terrible and a mess yuck.

Hope you have a great week

Hugs

Mary

Kaci,

The camping group seems like a fun idea. A couple of people here do that also every year. We play dominoes with the kids here. One of my sneaky educational things. LOL

Take care,

Rain

Boy, Kaci, power issues are really the flavor of the week, aren't they? 17 hours is a long time to be without power, even though I know there were a lot of people during the blackout without it longer than that. Good thing the frozen things didn't thaw out. What a mess.

Your camping group sounds like so much fun. I promised myself that I was going to go on at least one camping trip this season...but I'm not sure it's going to happen. Too much happening here to try to get away.

Glad you've got your fans back.
