Those series of thunder claps woke me at 4 am this morning ! I got up to see if there was a warning in place to not. Fortunately no warning, just a good ol thunderstorm. Hopefully the storm is moving east and we won't have to pass through any storms on the way to our new camping site.
Monday we had our two oldest grandchildren over as their mom was teaching yoga to the Evergreen Summer students. When my eldest son came over, they all went off to play Pokemon Go. He had 3 kids and two dogs ! LOL. After lunch, they decided to go off again to Jubilee Park which is a fair distance, expecially for YGD is not the outdoor walker the others are. But apparently they had a good time ! YD arrived and decided to wait here til they came back. She scrounged some perennial plants off me.
EGS ended up carrying the puppy Dexter home as he refused to walk. I am wondering if the pavement was too hot for his little paws ? To he has realized that it is a lot more fun to be carried than walking or hiking ! He is nearly six months so it might just be the laziness of his 'pugness' coming out !
I finally took down the cot in our bedroom. Our bedroom is very big. We have a queen sized bed, and can accommodate a cot and two sleeping mattresses, as well as bedroom furniture . When we have a sleepover, all the kids sleep with us upstairs. However, enough was enough and into. The closet it went ! I can get into my closet so easily now. Gradually I am getting some housework done and some decluttering.
I made a huge pot of child. After the meat was browning, I searched for a can of kidney beans or black beans. I had no cans ! I did have some dry kidney beans so I had to cook them up to use. There were at lest 30 cups of child divided into 3 containers. Two were frozen and one will come with us for Saturday night's supper. One was kept in the fridge for YS to use as he cannot get time off work.
Tuesday we threw on a couple of loads of wash and headed out to do some messages and grocery shopping. We stopped at Walmart to look for some wool. Why do they never have green !! I was only able to pick up a smaller ball of purple. We picked up a couple of treat and most of it was paid with a gift card that I have had for ages. One less gift card in my purse . Then we headed off to the Dollar store to find a colouring book and new booklet for YGS to draw and write in. I had him choose 5 of the books we bought at VV to bring to read in the car.
We only picked up necessary items , such as bananas for the car trip and some snacks. We forget that YGS eats constantly as did his father at the same age. I'll make a separate bag to keep in the front and dole out to him.
Most of the trailer is packed. WE just have to throw in one cooler and our clothes. We are bringing two bags and a crate of wood. ES and Hubby put the kayak on the car, but it stuck out just a little bit too far so they couldn't get the garage door closed. Oh well, it won't take them long to get that done this am before the hitch up the trailer. Then we'll be off ! Hoping to score a campsite.
ES got a fishing license and bought YGS his first fishing rod. I have my books and hand sewing so I am all set. The lake where we are hoping to go is stocked with rainbow trout so I am thinking I had better pack a lemon ! [ which I have done for years and Hubby has never caught a fish ! ]I had to rinse out and disinfect two of our water containers. It has been a long time since we've been at a campsite with only an old fashioned water pump ! As we will have no idea how far away we'll be from the pump, I decided 3 containers would be best . We might have to use a car to fill them up and drive them back !
And so off we go on another adventure !
