Micah 6:8
Psalm 118:14-16
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
What a great, nearly normal seeming weekend we had. Camping with friends in what we had assumed would be a sparsely populated State Park campground, which turned out to be as crowded as any of us can ever remember. The consensus was that the crowds were there because:
- It's the only thing we're allowed to do in the Southern part of the Lower Peninsula.
- Working from home can mean working from anywhere.
- Virtual school also can happen anywhere there's a phone signal.
In spite of the huge volume of people and dogs (we didn't notice any cats in the campground), things were peaceful and quiet - apart from the big rainstorm overnight Saturday, and the lusty pelting of tents and campers with acorns.
The shared dinner was, as always, tasty and oversupplied. Beef tenderloin, horseradish, tortellini, tomato salad, cucumber salad, German potato salad, French bread, green salad, on and on it went. Though we did our best to eat it all, there was still more than plenty left over for later (and there was pie, too!).
At any rate, a wonderful time was had by all, as usual, and no one was quite ready to pull out when the time came.
Ah, wilderness! (so to speak)
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
