Today is my day to spend some time at home and check on the ol' homestead. Since Rodney and I are spending most of our time at camp, that leaves Ryan, Bailey and the two kitties holding down the fort, so to speak. So far, I have yet to come home and find a disaster area, good thing.
Went down to my father-in-law's house to meet his friend from Florida, and she seems nice. They are coming down to camp on Saturday for a cook-out and hopefully get to know each other a little more. I am still not convinced as yet, that her motives are as pure as Roland claims. The jury is still out on that one.
We have had good reviews on our slushpuppy/adult beverage machine. It freezes the drinks in only about 20, and it is pure delight when they are done. No chunks of ice like you would get with a blender, like we resorted to last year. We damn near wore out a blender with all the pina coladas that we drank last year. Last weekend was strawberry daquiris and they were delish!

Thanks to Sheri and her sister Sue for making me welcome my first day out. I'm glad to hear that Sue had a good time at our campground and hopefully sometime this summer she will get the chance to try out our drink machine herself. Consider yourself invited.
Just this morning I was thinking about my day and the pitfalls that I will have to encounter while doing my chores, which involve the ever dreaded shopping. It doesn't seem to matter what time I set out to shop, I always have to deal with inconsiderate people who stand in the aisle to chat, or leave their basket completely blocking my way...what gives? It seems to take twice as long as it ought to take just having to deal with these things. Another thing that is always fun to deal with are the people who insist on using the express lane with more than the allowed number of items....do they not know how to count, or are they just that special? Now, this is just a guess, but they must be special. Would be way too embarrasing to admit the inability to count.
Anyway, today is my day to get things together to head down to the campground for the weekend. It is so great during the week, peaceful and quiet with only seasonal people there for the most part. Rodney has a bass fishing club tournament on Friday night (stupid idea if you ask me, but no one asked).They plan to fish from 9pm Friday until 5am on Saturday. Ha! That means I get the bed by myself....woohoo!!
TTFN (ta-ta for now)

Hello all.....
Yep, I have finally gotten on the bandwagon and joined the computer age. Took me long enough, didn't it.
Anyway, here are my ramblings for what they are worth, hopefully they are worth a couple of chuckles now and then.
Our family are avid campers and have a seasonal campsite at a great campground in Maine. This is our third year doing this and we are finally feeling like family. Our two sons don't spend much time with us while we are at camp as they must feel like they have their own lives and forget about their parents. That is until trouble strikes and they are on the phone! This last fall my husband finally talked me into buying a new camper with a slide in the livingroom...how did I
EVER live without one all these years?!
The campground has some really terrific people that we have come to know well and we have great fun getting together to eat, have campfire and the most important part of camping....drink!!
We have recently been able to buy a slushpuppie machine and it is now taking residence at our campsite. Are we ever popular now!
Not that we weren't before, mind you...
We are having great fun experimenting with what will work and I can tell you without fail that we have made some outstanding pina coladas! Rodney(my husband) wants to have strawberry daquiries this weekend, so on with the experiments. It's a good thing that all our friends live within walking distance.....
