I present to you the Great Backpacking Trip of 2019 ! In recent years, Dad, Mom and Anna have remained faithful in their quest to be mountain (wo)men but for some of us, this was our first trip in ten years and for others (HI KARYN!), it was their maiden voyage. We hiked along the Foothills Trail starting at Oconee State Park.  Kent and Dad working on a can of beans with a crummy can opener and rock.  Dad's (probable) head lamp motto: IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO HAVE IT IN PLACE. Nightfall comes swiftly and without warning.  On Sunday night we used a 6 man tent that had seen camping action in South Sudan and confirmed the fact that a 6 man tent with 6 actual (wo)men + sleeping bags is a tight squeeze (Dad chose to sleep 50 feet away under a tarp) Although I had my earplugs in, I was still able to target people that snored or breathed heavily (4/6 of the tent) and I made my plans to vote them off the island. Before our slumber party, we laughed, told stories, answered mom

Making: A grocery list  Cooking:  Not a lot, as we're clearing out the fridge  Drinking:  Earl Grey tea Reading:  Mary Poppins (just me!) Wanting:  Nothing! Just wait 'til you see what I got after my last "Currently" post...  Looking:  At piles of small clothes to pack  Eating:  A leftover cheeseburger that Kent whipped up for dinner, complete with pan seared onions and red peppers swoon Wishing:  Liza used just a tad less tape when crafting during rest time (pick yer' battles)  Enjoying: Rest time Thinking: About how quickly ten years can go by Celebrating:  That my six year old still does imaginative play with animal toys  Loving:  This 70 degree weather. Spring is giving us one last nod. WE SEE YOU!!!    Hoping: I survive backpacking  Needing:  To pack    Listening:  To birds chirping outside, our wind chime  Feeling: Sleepy and content  Wearing:  Skinny jeans with an elastic waist (thought I should clarify) , grey 3/4 sweat sh

Wishing you a very productive first Monday in May
