Labor Day Campout




Well, another Labor Day campout has gone by. That must mean I'm almost another year older! I know fall is just around the corner. It's so dry here, it's hard to tell if the leaves are starting their descent or if they're just falling off the trees because they've all dried up! The mornings are beginning to "snap" back at you. We haven't had a freeze yet, but I know it's coming.

Larry and I spent 5 days in the "wild" in our trailer. Hunting season opened and he went bird hunting every day. The birds seemed to be in fine fettle this year and their flying skills have improved. Only one decided to commit suicide and is now resting peacefully in our freezer. It will travel with us on our last camping trip of the year to the Grand Ronde River in October. We'll have a cremation ceremony there for it. Hopefully there will be another to Lay in State with it. The ceremony should be beautiful. They'll be snuggled under a thick blanket of heavy cream and cream of mushroom soup with potatoes nestled around them. The actual cremation should only take about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.


As for me, I finished the above necklace and started another one, only white with blue crystals. I finished that one here at home and it came out real pretty. Both look like winter to me. This one has deep red crystals, green leaves and seed beads. Brings to mind Christmas. I also finished a knitted purse, started and finished a Stephen King book and watched 8 dvds! Can anyone spell "BORED"!!! I was really glad to get home, which is unusual, I LOVE camping! Guess I just have too much to do here. I am looking forward to our October fishing trip.
