...who on this day 12 years ago gave it all for others
...who left behind families, friends, co-workers
...who answered a call to duty with no concern for themselves
...who left for work as they did every day not knowing what this day held..
We woke up to cool temperatures, no humidity and lovely sunshine. Today is our last day here so it will be enjoyed to the fullest.
Have a super day...enjoy and relax.
Last night the other campers began to arrive. I know when we get back to the campsite after work today the campground will be full.
The quiet time has been wonderful but we do not mind sharing. I love seeing the older couples but my favorite is the young families. Watching a Mom do sidewalk chalk with Suzie. ..seeing Dad teach Bobby to fish...families of bikes riding by and the laughter of children as they play are all Special sights and sounds of camping life. These all remind me of days gone by when our kids were small. But no sadness! We enjoy those days again with our grandchildren - only we can't last as long as we used to. :)
And until next time....Enjoy - Love - share and thank God for it all.
Hubby and I decided that the Labor Day Weekend was much too short for a proper camping trip so we extended it. Even though we had to return to work on Tuesday we reserved a campsite for the rest of the week ending on Sunday.
The campsite that we had was reseved for the weekend so we had to choose another one for our sudden vacation spot. It just so happened that a perfect spot right beside the lake was available (a last minute cancellation) so we took that one immediately. What a great surprise!
The first night we had a couple of neighboring campers but they were old-time campers like us so it was a quiet and peaceful night. We grilled hamburgers, built a campfire and enjoyed the sounds of the outdoors.
The second night we came in from work and found that we were the only campers in our section - perfect solitude! We enjoyed a night of grilled hotdogs, some fishing and just reading as the night sounds filled the air.
Our weather has been just awesome - sunshine during the day, cool nights with lovely stars and no rain. What more could a couple of campers ask for?
We will continue to enjoy our campsite vacation and may your day be filled with the joys of nature. Stay tuned....
