Driving for the victory

• Oct. 13, 2006 - Winter is coming

Well, I knew that Fall couldn't last forever, but I didn't expect Winter this soon.  We are going to be down around freezing tonight and of course DH and Big Brother are camping with the Scouts tonight.  I have great respect for the Boy Scouts and support them completely, but I am too big a fan of indoor plumbing and heat to get that involved in the camping trips.  That said, I am trying to figure out what to do about Little Brother's request that I go to summer camp with him for a week next summer.  I used to think that camping is when the microwave breaks down, but after living on a gentlemen's farm for the last 8 years, heating with wood, raising chickens, turkeys and pigs, and being out in the country, I am much less a city girl than I used to be.  Little Brother is really a "momma's boy" and wants me to share this really time with him.  I'm hoping that he will decide that Dad is the best for camping, not Mom.  

Off to curl up under a bunch of blankets and get ready for the long winter's night.

camping in the freezing weather. Mike took our boys ice fishing in AK the last winter we were up there. I thought they were all CRAZY. I even asked for prayer at chapel because I was sure they'd lost their minds. :::snort::: They loved it and I keep hearing new little tidbits every winter. I don't know if they are embellishing the stories with time or if their brains have finally thawed out enough to remember details. It is just as well that I had no clue of what they were doing until now...two winters later. LOL

Let us know how things go for your dh and son.
