Big camping trip this week-end to Calaveras Big Trees. It was our AMA group and we've been planning this for months. We had a blast, the Minnie Winnie ran like a top, we had 20 people and 11 dogs. I think we were a little too much for the Rangers when we went to check in. We had been told they would try to put us all together especially if we showed up at the same time and we were scattered all over so I spoke up and long story chort, we ended up with a great spot and a good time was had by all. We have decided to make it an annual June event.
There was great company, gourmet food, mega marshmallow smores, laughs, laughs and more laughs. We met some new friends and a few couldn't make it and we really missed them. We had a ceremony both Friday and Saturday nights to retire some American and Californian flags. If you have never attended a ceremony like that you should go at least once, it's very moving.
And now the rest of the story, ever have one of these days? You're standing on the back of the front seat fixing the bunk bed in the RV and as soon as you step back you know you're going down . . . Well I did, flat on my back, hard and on the way down I bumped the gravy which went flying all over the coffee pot, computer cord, table and just missed my crochet project. We'll I couldn't fill my water tanks so all I had was a couple of pans with iced cold water from the tap, ever tried to clean up gravy with ice cold water? So OK, that mess cleaned up and I decide to get dressed, within 5 minutes my shirt is filthy with something brown all over the left side, I decide to clean it, not thinking about the fact that I am at a camp ground and everything is dusty and dust migrates to damp fabric, well, you get the picture. Finally, we're all loaded, warming Winnie up, Cindy notices I need to get my wood ramps and stairs put away so . . . on the way I stepped on a stick with one foot and proceeded to jam the stick into the other foot. OK, taking it real slow now, it is one of those days. Then last but not least, while fixing a little spot under the drivers
seat for Annie I hit the emergency
brake with my head, so hard that I cut a huge spot open and was bleeding pretty good and once was not enough, I had to do it again a little while later.
I was very glad to get home as I forgot my meds for the week-end and was very anxious about coming across the bridge that is only about five minutes from home. I fell asleep writing an e-mail so I laid down and took a really long nap.
Had a wonderful time, wish you were there.
