Camping Fail

Have you ever wondered if you were camping wrong?  Well, you’re doing better than me if you don’t end up with this:

Memorial Day Weekend

It’s Memorial Weekend.  Time for camping, bonfires and hanging out with friends/family.  Kind of a trial run before summer actually begins.  At this point, particularly in Michigan, people are bugging out for summer.  We’ve managed to survive the cruelty of winter and deserve our just reward of sunshine.  And so, while ushering in the new season, I felt updates were due in our lives.
