Summertime

And the living is easy....

Ha ha ha, yeah. That's only when the weather is on your side. And if, by some unbelievable twist of fate it is, can you really trust it?

I'm on vacation in case you're wondering. Two weeks baby!! Two weeks! SG is off. #1 booked some time and well, #2, he gets to enjoy summer for the entire two months... well, until next year when I force him to get a job and start paying for his own video games!!

The males in the house went fishing and camping last week. Their weather was lovely. It rained on the day they were coming home, which was okay. They got in three solid days of fishing and caught some pretty nice fish. Here, take a look.




So, the plan was to head out and do it again. This time with me in tow. Which really pleased me. Really, it did. I love camping. I'm not sure my 47 year old body will love it when its all said and done however. The boys said I had to come because they needed someone to do the dishes and to keep the camp clean and tidy and cook for them too... Nice to know I'm needed. Oh, and apparently appreciated!

But... you knew there was going to be one... Weather reports indicate rain for the next three days. And, well, living in a tent, with 4 dogs, in the pouring rain (they're saying a 80% chance) for three days does not sound like my idea of a good time.

As a matter of fact, it sounds like a living hell, right here on earth!

So, now we're back to the drawing board for this week. Today, nice and hot, hot sun, will be spent poolside, checking out the tourist books and planning to head out and do something first thing in the morning. Even if it is raining. And of course, the sun will come out on Friday, right when #1 needs to head back to work.

As tempting as the thought is, I now need to figure out if it's okay to leave my almost 17 year old home alone on the weekend, with the dogs, if we should decide to re-book the campsites...

And, as it is almost noon, I think it's time to get off the internet and go and open that "beverage"... Ha ha ha I am on holidays after all...
