Lazy Day

The best part about camping is that there is no schedule. I can't tell you exactly what Karen and I did today but I do know it involved a lot of visiting! Oh... and we opened the Beauty Shop. Even when we had the pop up trailer, we used the outdoor shower hose to wash our hair. When we bought the Taj-mahaul it would have been a deal breaker if it hadn't included an outside shower hose. Karen and I can endure a lot of things while camping in the middle of nowhere, but greasy hair is not one of them. So we decided a few years ago that the Beauty Shop would open every day. What a difference a little shampoo can make! A new discovery today was if the generator is on we can use the blow dryer too! I know, pretty pathetic!

This afternoon, Paige arrived with Alex's friend Taylor and Don's mom and dad. My in-laws have been coming up here since they were first married because a relative had a cabin nearby. Don has been fishing here since he was a small boy. Alex started coming at age  two and Paige made her first visit while in the womb. So you see, there is a long tradition of the Ostwald invasion of French Creek every summer.

Dinner time!

Don is famous for his Dutch oven peach cobbler!
