If We Are Camping, We Are Eating

Well, happy Sunday everyone!  I woke up to snow this morning and the first thing I thought was, "Mother Nature has lost her mind again". It was just a dusting, but still odd to see given our spring-like temperatures for weeks on end.  It's all gone now and the world is right again!

I appreciate you taking time to drop by for one more Story to wrap up my Fantastic Frolic adventure with Mom. When we camp with the Sisters or T@Bbers or Chefs, there is one thing that you can absolutely count on - FOOD!  Food for breakfast, lunch, and supper.  Restaurant food, take-out food, snack food.  If we are camping, we are eating.  Here's the Folic proof . . . 

Breakfast spread on Friday morning
Breakfast at my house on Wednesday morning 
Lunch at McDonalds on Thursday with the gals
Divine homemade granola compliments of Miss Lynn
Lunch at Earth Fare while shopping on Hilton Head Island
Tuesday night quesadilla take-out from Casa Burrito
Saturday night supper at Bluffton Seafood House
Happy hour on Thursday with the Sistas
Shrimp Boat Reuben at Bluffton Seafood House
Our supper contribution on Friday evening 
Miss Jenn's Stuffed Meatballs were de-lish 
We always love rolled up party appetizers
Quite the supper spread on Friday night
A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Yumm-O . . . if we are camping, we are eating.  Speaking of eating, next Thursday I head out on another adventure with Momma Sharon, Aunt Becky, Murphy the Camper Dog, and Baby Gracie.  Mom is hosting the NC DOG (Dutch Oven Gathering) at nearby Tanglewood Park and there will be cooking and eating all over the place!  

Be sure to pick up our Postcard From The Road each evening to read all about the culinary fun.  After we return, I will be back with more Stories to fill in the blanks.  Until then, always remember . . .

Frolic Happies

You know what I love about gatherings like the Fantastic Frolic? Momma Sharon and I get happies!  Well, actually I usually don't get anything, but that's OK because I love the smile on Mom's face when she is handed a bag of goodies.


Here's the bag that Miss Jennifer and Miss Peggy handed Mom on Wednesday.  It's so neat when the rally organizers and hostesses give you little gifts.  Here's what we got last week . . . 

Our personalized name tag
Two little soap samples from Nour-ish in Savannah
A copy of Pink magazine, Inis cologne sample,  notepad, and Poo-Pourri spritz
A variety of brochures about Lowcountry attractions
And to top it all off, Momma's oldest Sister-Friend, Miss Rebecca gave her an uber cool plastic tray with coffee cups all over it!!  She used it all weekend to take food items over to party central for breakfast, happy hour, and supper.  I am 100% certain it will go camping with us forever and ever!


HAPPIES . . . unexpected gifts from friends just because.   How fun!!

As always, thanks for dropping by for a little Story Time.  I'll work on another one for tomorrow and until then, always remember . . .

Our 1st Trip Of The Season

While Momma Sharon is in her anesthesia chair snuggling with the pups, she said I could have the computer for a bit.  We wanted to let everyone know that we are back home safe and sound from the Fantastic Frolic.  It was pretty chilly when Mom rolled out of bed this morning a little after 7:00.  Our little Pelonis ceramic heater did a great job of keeping us toasty warm at Camp Lake Jasper.  Thank goodness, because it's the coldest nighttime temps we have had in a long time!


We were both old sleepy heads this week and never got up before eight o'clock.  I guess that's why we missed the mist on the lake.  But Mom grabbed her camera and snapped a photo of Lake Jasper and one of me as the sun came up over the campground.



We went through our hitching-up-routine and pulled out just a few minutes after 8 as the Sisters were still sleeping.  The trip home was pleasant and uneventful - just like we like it!

I'll have several Stories to tell you this week:  lunch at Gwen & Franny's Fried Chicken Soul Food & BBQ, our successful 6th Street Soap Company sales, the uber cool vintage campers I met, and some other tidbits.  Thanks for coming by so I could tell you a little Tale and until I'm back with another, always remember . . .
