I'm NOT camping this weekend.
Dan and Steven left today for a wilderness adventure together. Dan's truck was loaded down with firewood, food, paintball guns, tents, games, and camping supplies. They are most likely in Utah by now. I'm sure it was raining all the way there. I hope they remembered to take matches. I really hope there's a Motel 6 nearby. Just in case.
Michael left this morning for Champ Camp with his school football team. He was packing and re-packing his bags this morning. He is nervous and excited about the trip. I think it's a city-slicker type of camp...no running water, no toilets, no electronic devices. I'm pretty sure he'll need a shower AND a bath when he gets home.
Alyssa and I went to my cousin Patty's house tonight. Her mom (my aunt) is visiting from Mexico. She made fabulous chile rellenos for us. Two different kinds. Patty has 2 beautiful daughters. The youngest one is 6 yrs old. She weighed less than 1 lb when she was born. She's a living, breathing miracle. Cute as can be and very smart. The oldest one is 10 yrs old. Very pretty. Long brown hair. Sweet girl. Bi-lingual. Straight A's.
We sat outside and watched the sky. Lots of fluffy white clouds. Nice breeze blowing in. I surprised myself by carrying on an entire conversation with my aunt in Spanish. She doesn't speak any English. I understand a lot of Spanish but rarely speak more than 1 word at a time. I actually put words and sentences together and had an entertaining conversation with her.
