Tent Camping in Our 60s and 70s ?

Sum Sum Summertime
Summertime Summertime sum sum Summertime SUMM-ER-TIME.How I miss tent camping with loved ones.A few Years ago Paul and I tried it with Our whole gang once more.
 It was so hard on Us,Our daughters ended up practically having to take care of Us.I have camped My whole life,in fact I have always considered it a big part of My life.Now that I'm in My 60s and Paul's in His 70s.We won't be trying it again.Our Daughters agree.RVor trailer is all We can cope with, but now those are getting tough so I'll stick with My memories.....and crafting about those days.How about throwing in a few camping dolls to go along with My huge imagination..




I try to practice looking out and up to My mountains (off My patio) and to My Lord who has given Me all those wonderful memories.
Here's to Us....Ragged and a few pounds gained,soaken wet in the pouring rain at Mount Rushmore a few weeks ago.....from now on,on wheels traveling the US. It's a blessing and joy.Tomorrow  is Our 38th Anniversary, Today We are celebrating....out to dinner and lots of hugs and kisses planned.

Our next vacation is for My husband mostly.No matter the destination though,whether for one or the other's interests, We always both enjoy. It will be a UFO vacation. A silly time for both. A couple of stops will be-Roswell New Mexico and Area 51 Nevada,NRAO in New Mexico (Photo Above) We will be adding other stops as the vacation gets closer.I love to plan vacations just as much as I like going on them. Image result for area 51 and roswellOne of My Husbands interest (Just for fun). I'm sure I will laugh all the way through at all He jokes about on that vacation. Hugs-"Live long and prosper."   ; )   Denise

One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
