Closing Camp Nightmare

Closing camp is never fun..but this year appears to be quite a headache.
First of all the guests are leaving on the 28th and so is my help. This was not a wise decision. To make things worse I have to leave a day later to get the kids back to school. Usually they go home earlier but this year we didn’t have room on the planes to send them home. They all want to start on the first day. I need about a week to close up and then I could bring them home but now I have to blast them home early. whine whine whine. I do need to get over myself. It will be hell but in 2 weeks it will be over.
The weather looks like I may be doing the laundry next spring….unseasonably cold 60’s and rain. comforters, sleeping bags and pillows will not ever dry in this weather.

Let’s look to the future. Next year David will have a licsense…would I let him take himself and some kids home. Hell no. At least when he goes to college he won’t have to come home by the 24th. He will have to sign up for a school that starts after Labor Day no matter what.

My main decision I need to make is do I want to drive 14 hours home with 3 kids and a dog or do I want to spend $1000. that we didn’t make this summer and fly home. (willow goes with the truck) Neither option is good but what should I do?

The Best Day Ever

7 days off

Due to a last minute cancellation I have a week off. If the weather is nice I will be very happy. If the weather is cold and rainy I will be inside watching the food network and knitting entire ensembles for all of my family and friends.

We have a fun group in now with women and kids (we actually get mostly guys) that we are going to fish with today (if it doesn’t rain).

I am excited that I only have to cook for 10 people this week. Nothing fancy for my family and the staff just lots of grilling.  Brad can probably fry some fish a couple of times so I can knit more.

COMFORT FOOD

SNICKER DOODLES AND A STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE  YUMMY

THEY’RE HERE

Finally we have some blueberries. This is one of my favorite parts of summer. Blueberries. I love picking, eating, baking, eating, and eating some more blueberries. I have to pick fast to get them before the bears come and get them. Our guests have a bear at the Island outpost. I think they are hungry.

The rain will not stop

Today there was no break in the rain. I never left the lodge to go to my cabin at all. We had white caps in the bay and lots and lots of rain. I never saw the kids all day. I hope they are all good. David had to guide in this crud. I gave him a Red Bull for courage.

One of our full time staff left for the summer. The dynamics have changed and now things are winding down. Bye Bye Duke.

I wonder what is up
