countdown

(sigh) It really stinks we had to cancel that last camping trip- that means both January and February were washouts...I'm missing camping!!

We already have our menu set for Ft. DeSoto in early March (4 day weekend, no less!). That will end up being my only camping trip this year except for the one that ended New Year's Day. I won't be camping again until October due to the heat and the mosquitos.

sadder but warmer

So, the trip was called off. It was in the teens at night but warm enough in the day. I can't possibly imagine our having stayed there the first night and the second might have been bad just becaue we wouldn't have thawed from the first one.

We did, however, pay homage to the trip that wasn't by eating the menu (dinners at least)!

Friday dinner:
bread bowl filled with asparagus (from a can), homemade white sauce and chopped boiled egg
yeah, I hear my arteries clogging but who cares with something that tastes that good?

Saturday dinner:
grilled turkey burgers or Boca burgers on buns w/onions, grilled yellow peppers, pickles & condiments
chips & dip
fresh fruit salad

wagon, ho!

Right- so this upcoming weekend is Silver River again...like at Thanksgiving...as in "freeze off the fanny" cold... Care to guess the predicted temperatures?? (pause) Yup! In the 40s at night! Woooo Hoooooooo! What a freakin' bunch of idiots we are- although my sister swears it's the mid-40s which is much warmer than the mid-30s we endured at Thanksgiving. If she's wrong she's going down... I'll be in the nearest motel by the time they airlift her battered carcass to the nearest trauma center. Mama and Tug have been duly warned: the bus only gives one warning ("I'm outta here") and if they're not on board they can walk to the motel...
