This Week

Our campsite at Leisure Point in Long Neck, Delaware

A very nice sidewalk runs along the waterside of the campground. The geese like to hang out along the sidewalk - watch your step!

My morning coffee spot

The Atlantic Ocean is just 20 miles away at Rehoboth Beach.

Answer 5 and 6 can be interchanged easily

Answer 7

Most of your everyday questions can be answered by using one of these comments...

"Mom, where are my jeans?"  Answer:  5 or 7

"Will you please help me get my bike off the rack, it's too hard for me and your are so tall and strong."   Answer: 6  Ladies, this works EVERY time and not just for bikes. ;)

Sabra says, "I think we are lost, we are lost, do you KNOW where we are?" (I really do sound like this sometimes)  Dave answers: 1, 3, or 7

When I am fed up, missing my children, lonesome on the road (very rare) and longing for friends and family I complain with number 4.  The answer to this one is a nice warm hug. Thanks, Dave. 

Maryland

 We are enjoying our time in Pasadena, Maryland.  It is always pretty cool when Dave rates a sign.

On the reverse side of the sign. 

This is my kind of camping.  We are in the back lot of the church. Small house, huge back yard this week. We even have a lake!  Thanks Galilee Lutheran for the space and the kind hospitality.

Glasses

When I was in sixth grade I got my first pair of glasses which I thought were very cool for the first week.  Then conversations with my mom began with something having to do with glasses and the whereabouts of said glasses.


Now, many, many years later Dave and I share quite a collection of glasses.


We both wear contacts, but I still like to have glasses so I can see my food, it tastes better when you can see it, and read very small print - oh, and a flashlight.

Washington DC - Cherry Blossoms!

When we are out and about this is how Dave always looks a wry smile and camera at the ready!

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day in DC.  My pedometer showed ten miles by the end of the day, this includes walking around the tidal basin and the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial.

Our house is parked in Bowie, Maryland, in the parking lot of Trinity Lutheran this week. The members of Trinity had a garage sale and I was able to unload redistribute some of our junk treasure. Thank you Trinity.

Oh please can we spend the day in the stairwell???? Can we pleeeeaasse.

We enjoyed very few sunny days and had to make a mad dash to see as much as possible.  It was a great stay and we were encouraged to come again - in the fall.  I think we will!

 

Did you know about the daymark?

My New Beachwear

On the left is mainland North Carolina and the small red marker is our campground. Thank you God for such a gift.

Well, it's not new, but I have not worn this many layers in awhile - mittens, ugh. 

When I called saying we would like to check in early - the attendant laughed and said there would be plenty of room.  Now I get it, there are about 10 campers in a campground set up for 400.  Summertime must be something.
