A good ending to a great Monday

Well, the crew is slowly rolling in. Right now, this moment is one of my favorite things about camping. We just finished a simple but extremely yummy dinner, Cousin Chan and neighbor Alec are between campsites playing a variety of outdoor games, Alec's dad is sitting nearby watching the boys, and his mom just returned from a run. Friends across are finishing their dinner. It's quiet evening. And I love it. My brother and his family are finally finished with baseball and on their way. There have been several texts and calls to confirm the impending arrival.

Today we lounged on floaties in a secluded little cove. A few passing waves gave us the occasional wave action. Carolyn just told me that I've got my lake raccoon eyes started. Every year my tan gets all jacked up from sunglasses. I have white circles around my eyes and my nose gets very brown. Imagine a jack o'lantern nose. I do sunscreen, but it still happens.

Tonight's dinner included stuffed mushrooms. They were very simple and oh so tasty. I browner a pound of sausage with 1/2 red onion and 3 garlic cloves. Mixed this with softened cream cheese, one can of green chilis, a bit of oregano, Greek seasoning and salt and pepper. Then stuffed several medium portebello mushrooms. I planned to grill them, but it was just so hot and we didn't have anything else to grill, so I cooked them in the electric skillet with the lid on.

Now to do some dishes. Haven't really done any since I got here on Thursday.

Saturday Confessions from the Lake

I'm still blogging from my so please ignore typos and cross your fingers that I actually get this to link up with Melissa.

I'm looking forward to the campers getting here. Baby Jus, Cousin Chan and I are having a good time, but it's not fun to cook for three people. I'm ready for a good camping meal. I can't seem to get organized either. The boys wanted s'mores tonight so I thought we'd roast hot dogs then do s'mores. I can't find my long forks. I guess they are at home somewhere.
This past week has been busy. I spent Monday afternoon sewing with a new friend. Then Tuesday I had to go buy a new phone. Mine just wasn't dependable. It would freeze up after a call or text. And maybe take an hour to come back on. When it wasn't frozen, I could answer a call but couldn't hear anything. I spent more time trying to reboot it than actually talking or texting. Then Wednesday I used my Mother's day gift certificate. A two hour massage and facial. It was heavenly. It required a trip to Little Rock so we did some baby and wedding shopping also. Then Thursday morning Baby Jus and I were packing when Lovey called. He needed help with a cow and baby calf. We tried to help. But things did t go as planned. More o. That later.

My brother will be here sometime tomorrow to set up his camper. Then Baby Jus has to go home. Lovey needs him. I'm sending the dogs home too. I guess Chan and I will have it a to ourselves for a while.
