Today is my first day in a week that I have been up and moving for 7 hours straight!!! It probably won't last for more than an hour longer, but it feels so good just feeling almost normal again. My poison ivy is still with me, but it now has a friend to keep it company: upper-respiratory infection (I think or hope). Yes, I am going to break down and call the doctor tomorrow to see what the heck is going on with my body. I feel blessed that I was able to have a couple of days last week to go camping with some of my family. I hadn't seen a couple of them in over 10 years so it was especially fun to catch up on their lives and families. In my post last week I mentioned that my grand-daughter was riding with me to the campground to make sure I didn't get lost. Well I ended up letting her drive, and we had the most awesome adventure -- we only had to turn around 5 times on the way there and twice on the way back!!! Everybody kept calling us from the campground wanting to know what was taking us so long and to give us directions. But none of that worked because it is a little hard to give directions when you don't know where you are to start them. I finally figured out that my GPS was programmed to take back roads and we were trying to take the highways -- that is why it kept telling us to make U-Turns. Also good that our destination was only 2 hrs. away and it only took us about 3.5 hrs. -- so we did good!!!
Because I haven't opened any of my new Stampin' Up Product and have been sick all week, I am showing a few more swap cards and some camping pictures.

| Breakfast: Sausage, bacon, potatoes already cooked on fire and scrambled eggs keeping warm. There was tons other food but I was headed to the showers and didn't look under the tin foil. That is my water warming up on the side for my tea!! |

Thanks for posting a picture of my swap. I didn't take a picture and I didn't save one. Now I've got a copy for my journal. Hope to see you Tues.

Love the pictures of your camping adventure! Such a great campground and that firepit is awesome. Wish we had nice areas like that here in Arizona. We do have beautiful pine trees in the higher elevations though, so that's not too bad (a couple of hours' drive).
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog today looking for fun things to do with my Muslin Bags from the Holiday Catalog. You have some great ideas here! Thank you for sharing them.
