Susan Speaks: Here I am!

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

It’s Friday night as I’m writing this. I’m tired. Overtired. I spent the day doing this:

Kennywood!

That definitely qualifies as Only the Good. The steel mill behind the coasters, not so much. Unless you’re at the top of the coaster’s hill looking down at it. Then it’s pretty cool.

Saturday’s a rest day. Good thing I’m Jewish; for us, Saturday is also the Sabbath (not that I’m terribly observant, but it’s cool that the two days for rest dovetail so nicely).

It’s also a day to pack. Yup, it’s the most wonderful time of the year — I’ll be spending Sunday through early Thursday here. In fact, I might even be staying in THAT VERY tent on the right. What tent, you ask? Well, the one in the picture that’s mysteriously disappeared. Seriously. The Tour Manager’s been looking for it for a good 20 hours now. So if you see pictures of Cub Scout Camp that claim to be mine, would you send them home, please? They are wanted. And missed.

Back to the story of my tent. I won’t know until we get there if I’m going to stay in my regular home; I’m thinking of moving more central this year even though it means it’s a bit farther to hike to the bathroom (I figure doing that is a good way to help keep our campsite’s latrine clean!).

Heritage Reservation

This picture does NOT show MY favorite tent. It does show our campsite, though. And a bunch of kids I’ll pretend like I don’t know even though one of ’em’s mine.

I’ve got two posts scheduled to go up while I’m gone. I don’t know if the Tour Manager will have the time to moderate comments or anything, so if you leave a comment but don’t see it, it’s probably held in moderation until I get home.

Have a great week, everyone. Be sure to visit Shelly’s other Only the Good friends, as well as the other Sunday Scribblers. Blogging’s all about community. Let’s build ours together.

    It makes me want to go camping, an impossibility for me right now. I hope you have a wonderful time!

    We did the park thing earlier this summer, complete with Potato Patch fries and funnel cakes. This was the first year Amber rode the Thunderbolt. She loved it.
