Another day of yurt camping. Rob went on a bike ride. I managed to get the girls out for a walk. When Rob got back, we went to play mini-golf at Indian Springs. The evening included a campfire and brownies for my birthday.

A day of catching up and getting ahead for Gwyneth while waiting at the cabin for the plumber to arrive. He never did, but promises to be here tomorrow morning first thing. When Phelix and I went out to look at the moon at night, we didn’t see the moon, but we did see snow!
on pretending to be a grownup
As I headed up to Blue Ridge yesterday to stay in and deal with a house that currently does not have running water, I started wondering if I would ever grow up. Stop pretending to be an adult and actually become one. As I considered the situations in which I feel that I’m “pretending” to

Rob and girls off to their schools. Gwyneth worked and had a conference call, then ran errands. Phelix panicked while Gwyneth packed but was thrilled to get in the car to go to the cabin. No water at the cabin, but lots gotten done even so. Rob took Chloe to the ortho, who has prescribed

Back to work and school. Extinguisher guy and calls to the plumber. In the end, a fairly productive day, so much so that I had time to work on some “fun” stuff in the late evening. Camille home late from drama. Chloe home late from gymnastics. An easy dinner.

Chloe home sick. Again. A workday that did not go very well. Camille bringing home a gaggle of girls. Great report cards for both girls. Takeout for dinner. Too much Glee on tv.
photo friday: LEAF food
For our first trip to LEAF, I brought along all our camping cooking equipment and food. Through the years, I’ve brought less and less with me each time. Why? The food at LEAF is amazing. Even the coffee is good. Plenty of vegetarian friendly options. Good ones. GREAT ones. So good that I could eat
