 Got up to the Lodge late last night. I was up posting here and to facebook when the phone rang. The phone rings several  places in the camp. In the kitchen, at the Ranger's house, in Buffalo Lodge and at our place. Usually  if you just let it ring someone will pick it up. Well it rang and I was hesitant to pick it up but I did. It was Greg. We had ( Read more... )

Dave had an Order of the Arrow thing at camp today. I stayed home and decided to go to town....visited Michaels and The Dollar Store and got some miscellaneous things  for camp. He called and said the floors at Buffalo lodge looks great! That's good...we will probably do the rest of them later in the week ( Read more... )

Some of you have been asking for pics of our new place. This is the kitchen....all nice and happy and bright in white and yellow. There's a washer/dryer cubby on the right just out of the picture. There is no dishwasher, we have one but we decided not to bring it with us because we don't need it. No microwave either

Since Dave's nick name is Pooh Bear (has to do with the last name Winsatt. In high school he was called Winnie and it became Winnie the Pooh etc etc etc) Over the years people, mostly Scouters, have given him various Winnie the Pooh items. This is just a small portion of his Pooh Bling. He's got more that he hasn't brought out yet.

I posted this on the Huffington Post this morning. I rarely get political and am usually  moderate middle of the road type person but I feel strongly about this.

My sympathies to all who were affected by this event.

I have no idea what this man's motives were Like many here. I suspect a lot but I know nothing. I'll wait and see.

Happy Birthday Jennie! :)

Stayed home and was cold most of the day. Dave and Kyle went to to a warehouse where they were supposed to distribute a truck full of popcorn...and Kyle would get paid for his work.

Kev's car wouldn't start so he borrowed mine. Then about three I got a call from Dave asking if I could come and get Kyle. I couldn't..no car ( Read more... )

A junior at NYU commited suicide by jumping from one of the landings in the school library.  When we were in New York Cody showed us around that building and he told us that they had to install special panels in there because at that time there had been at least two suicides. I thought that it surely must be an urban legend but I guess not.  The ( Read more... )
