It seems like we just left but returning to our summer camp felt good. Owner Hal met us as we pulled up and before the engine had stopped spinning, he was already into his first joke ... it's good to be back, I thought.
Hal got us parked into our usual spot, Jerry stopped by to say hello as did Mary. Even though there were other rigs in camp, none of the owners stayed on but just dropped them off earlier and went back home. Maybe had something to do with the wet and cold. So here we are ... we have the whole place to ourselves. Just like last year when we were the last to leave in the Fall.
We got the rig hooked up then went down to the restaurant for a late lunch. We're in our comfort zone now. A quick bite to eat, a trip through downtown South Haven to see what changed (nothing) and headed back to camp. All is good except ... it's still a little cold up in Michigan. We've been use to 80's and 90's for several months ... but now the 40's! Egads! At least the tulips and daffodils I planted last Fall are in bloom. Soon we might even have leaves on the trees. But what we really need are some people!
So fellow campers ... we've broken the frozen mold so you can all get those rigs out of storage, pack em' up and come on over. Happy hour is still at 4:00pm.
Still livin' the dream.
