From JackieM to Ellen

JackieM

*****

Oh, this is exciting.

JackieM was a one-timer - in March.

And then she just popped up again for the July exchange.

I think she said something in her email about trying to sign up, and just remembered on the 4th of the month to sign up. Maybe the first-timers forget to sign up again. It can be hard to remember to sign up even though there are 4 days for sign up.

This is fun. It might be a resist.

Still Tuesday.

Camp stories are flooding back to my little brain.

My very earliest memory in my life is being at a camp.

My parents were campers.

I was not,

My goal in life was to grow up and never camp again.

When I hit college in the early 70s, camping was all the rage.

YUK

I did not join in.

Now, my granddaughter, Alex, really wants to go camping.

I've Googled *glamping*

There are a few I might consider.

Her dad and I are on the same page about camping.

He is not interested.

Although they do go *to the lake* which is a lot like camping - only it is in a cottage.

I guess I do recall a bit of the fun of being in a tent and hearing nature and feeling the air.

And then there was that time in a tent when one of the other girls discovered that a mama mouse had gone into her sleeping bag and hatched babies.

Screaming ensued.

That was the last time I ever slept in a tent.
