Been There, Done That: Maybe next weekend

- Laura Nethken

We look forward all year long to the beginning of camp season. Literally from the minute it closes in the fall, we start making plans for next year. We’ve been at our campground for just over 20 years now. This is our third site and fifth camper, but I think we’ve got the best set-up now that we’ve ever had.

Dave and I, and even our Beagle Boy Cletus, were excited to get out there, open up and settle back in. We needed to do some yard work — deal with the leaves, cut the grass, do the trimming, etc. Then clean the fridge that sits outside on the porch all year long to within an inch of its life, restock our kitchen cupboards, put on fresh sheets and blankets. Be ready for a beautiful summer.
