The First Camping Trip is Booked!

Yipppeeee!

This was the same reaction I shared, in a reply email to my mother, when she told me she had reserved the site for our annual camping trip to Restoule Provincial Park. This August will mark our third annual camping trip and will be the major highlight of my summer. Yes, there will be other camping trips to other campgrounds but they will not be as highly anticipated as this one. There is something unique about three generations fishing, swimming, walking and marshmallow roasting. Something so unique that I find it hard to articulate. You'll have to trust me when I say it is magical.

I hope there is something you are planning that brings you this same level of contentment. I'd love to know what it is.

March Break Finale

Here I am, up early, on the last morning I could have slept in. March Break is drawing to a close and we will return to alarm clocks and schedules once more. Am I ever glad that I did not flock south like several of my friends and colleagues! If I had, I would have missed the first bike rides of the season, the tulips sprouting at an Olympic rate, the "marrying' of so many sparrows in my backyard and day-trips with family and friends. The weather was glorious, the company superb. Who could ask for anything more?
