A few days to relax

 My brother is going camping in a week and has invited me to join him.  I decided to drive out to the state park next Saturday and spend a few days.  I invited my sister and her husband to visit some evening.  I cleared my schedule.  I am taking the pop-up tent trailer.  I texted my brother about helping with set up.  I can't back the trailer up and don't want to run over anything.  Since I am leaving from work, I need to find a place to park the car and trailer. At the park, I hope to go out in my brother's boat, ride my bike and gather information and dates of camping trips taken in my lifetime.  I'm hoping my brother has photos of my children camping with their cousins.  I would like to figure out years our friends from Missouri camped with us.  Once the research is done, I want to make a book of all my camping adventures.  I began camping when I was 10 months old.  I hope my husband and the animals do okay while I am gone.  I need to stop this worrying about everything.

Relaxation

Last weekend my husband, adult children and their spouses or partners, grandchildren and granddogs met at a state park on the west side of the state, on Lake Michigan.  Unlike the holidays, we relaxed at the beach, grilled burgers and brats and sat around the fire.  The weather was perfect...it rained maybe three drops.  My husband, son, daughter and her husband played a round of golf.  It was a nice reprieve from the covid, politics and riots.  I feel peaceful and ready to attempt a healthier lifestyle.
