Reunion Report
Sun Jun 18 2006

You know, I don't think bug spray is good for you.

I just wanted to make that observation.

Next year, I'm taking cover up clothing and a mosquito net, and avoiding the bug spray altogether thank you very much.

I'm just sayin'. . .

And listen, being outdoors all the live long day and night is exhausting business. I think it saps your body of moisture, like a mummy. I got so parched feeling, that I wanted in the worst way to just dunk myself in the pond by the apple orchard, but then I saw one of the dogs go in and realized it was nothing really but a glorified mud hole. What that pond wants is a good backhoe.

Though the view in the opposite direction was not bad at all:

I came close to never leaving that spot, but eventually drifted up closer to the camp kitchen to be sociable. But it turns out that one of the resident Jack Russels could not abide Sunny on any level. So we had to keep them separated. Thus, the picture of my toes in exile under an apple tree with Sunny tied up next to me. Let me just state for the record that this was none of Sunny's doing, as she got along famously with the other three dogs in attendance. Though she was heard to growl quite menacingly at a cousin who came by and planted a kiss on my forehead without her prior permission. Heaven help you if you try to do more than kiss me on the forehead. You might lose an elbow.

I'm just sayin'....

I left the house forgetting all about bringing some kosher meat to grill. I made do with salads of all kinds and a really nice fruit salad for dessert. But dang, we had kosher hamburger in the freezer. And you can get kosher hot dogs in any Safeway now, but did I remember? Noooooo..... Next year.....there's always next year right?

Dolt.

And one more thing....

Umm. Note to self:

Next time you go camping, bring a flashlight, there's a dear.

(You didn't take a flashlight CAMPING? What's the MATTER with you?)

Dehydration. That's all I can figure.

    Not taking a flashlight only meant you were working hard toward bug prevention. No lights at night couldn't attract bugs. Could it? I hope not!!

    I don't do bug spray if I can avoid it. Instead I use Avon't Skin So Soft. Works MUCH better than OFF!

    Well, that's a shame that one cranky Jack Russel couldn't get along with that sweet Sunny. All the other dogs did. What's his big problem? Eh?

    I think you goofed on a couple things. No water. No kosher meat. I can "sort of" understand the meat part. But no water??? Even if you don't need it any other time, ya gotta have it on the long drive there. Tch!

    Well, at least you survived to tell about it, and I think Sunny did a Very Good Thing, even though it was a blood relative she thought she was protecting you from. Most Excellent Service Award to that girl.

    Shalom

    The thing with camping out is that you always forget something. Looks like you forgot two this time. Oh well, you probably won't forget next time. ;-)

    Maybe the Jack Russel got wind of the recent teddy bear incident.

    Good Sunny. Good dog. That cousin was a stranger to you and you tried to protect mommy. What a good girl! Extra pats for you and some cyber treats. Here they come...WHOOSH!
