...another campout.
Yep, Boy of the Scouts has yet another wilderness jaunt planned this weekend, and Dad gets to tag along and bring food for his patrol. Luckily, it looks like they're only going to have about three or four boys in his group so it's a bit less moneysome to keep them provendered.
And it should be a bit more comfortable for me this time, too, since I've reassembled a bunch of my old camping stuff I'd misplaced, gotten some new-old stuff, and got something to cook on. Should be pretty fun, and this time I have the tent all to myself since he has to stick with his patrol buddies.
SO, packing up tonight, heading out tomorrow, and be back on Sunday after church, hopefully still with Boy and a feeling of relaxation. I intend to take a book this time so I'll have something to do, lest I find myself having to participate in actual physical exertion.
Other news?
Well, this has been Rebecca's first week of soccer tryouts for the high-school team. Yes, she's only in the eighth grade, so it's doubtful she'll get to play much, if at all. At least right now. But she is REALLY looking forward to it, and has done quite well this week by her accounting of things. That's good--she's able to do this and still get her schoolwork done, which is what caused her to drop club soccer in the first place.
Let's see--Oldest is still doing the musical rehearsal thing, as well as her usual job of being a horse's rear-end toward her younger siblings, to her parents, to her grandparents, to people at church, to people at school, to people in general. Lot to be said for consistency, I suppose.
Youngest continues to be her usual bouncy self. Wife continues to be her usual bouncy self, except when driven to exhaustion and collapse by her workplace, which seems to have more than its share of incompetence and drama. Kitty continues to be a cat.
And me?
I have no idea. But the idea of going off in the woods sounds pretty good.
Anyway, all of you have a wonderful weekend, and I'll do the same, and then Lord willing come Monday we'll all get together and swap stories.
