Camp G

Well I'm home. What a journey. What a blessing. Three nights with Grandma and Grandpa, just me and Elijah and the two of them. I got to witness my grandmother's happiness in holding her great-grandson, and my grandfather's pride in his family. I got to wash dishes and a few other chores and become completely sleep deprived in only three short nights. I'm not sure any of us could have survived a fourth night together, each night we progressively went to bed later (getting closer to my schedule) and woke up earlier (getting closer to their schedule). Last night I got four and a half hours. Heading for serious sleep-shortage!

Grandpa treated me to some wonderful meatballs (Grandpa's secret recipe which cannot be duplicated because he follows no recipe and says "just use a little of this and some of that"). Grandma treated me to wonderful late-night conversation. Maybe this is a girl-thing, but remember when you were a kid and had a friend sleep over and you'd stay up all night talking? Talk about boys, funny stuff from your past and dreams for your future, and everything in between. That's what Grandma and I shared. And also I made her learn Facebook. ;-)

Good food, great fellow campers, looking forward to doing camp again soon!
