Camping was lovely, warm enough for just a light jacket during the day and fire-cuddling cold at night. We strung tarps around the open sides of the shelter house and piled on the logs! We all ate together (pot-lucked) including breakfast cooked outside Sunday morning.

We always make a trip to the little grocery store in Oxford. They always seem to have something unusual I haven’t seen in other store, which is weird because it’s a chain and I’ve been in some of their other stores.

Hurricane Hailey came with her parents. I love Hailey but she requires so much attention. And she never remembers my name!

It was fun to totally have no plans!
