Happy Haunting!
Been pretty busy the last few days. Among other things we have decided to give up our permanent campsite down in the pines and sell our trailer. So yesterday, we went down there to begin bringing all our stuff home, winterize the water pipes, and clean out the inside of the trailer so it can be shown to prospective buyers. You can just imagine how much stuff we have accumulated over the past four years. I managed to get most of the inside stuff out of the trailer -- our tv, toaster, crock pot and coffee maker, all the pillows, sleeping bags, towels and so on, books, fishing stuff, kayaking stuff, clothes, cleaning supplies, toiletries and medicine cabinet stuff, cookware, utensils, dishes, the contents of the fridge and pantry, and on and on... plus 2 adirondack chairs from outside. Everything but the perishable food is still packed inthe truck -- unloading it and beginning to find places for it at home are today's job.
If the weather is okay, next weekend we will be making the trip again for the kayaks, grill, and other outdoor stuff, and to put the "for sale" sign in the window. Its sort of sad, but, to be quite honest, going to camp was beginning to be more of a chore than a vacation. And because of Bernie's work schedule and our home projects and stuff we just haven't been able to get there enough to merit the rental fees. Maybe in a few years after Bernie retires and the home repair/improvement projects are completed, we will get a nice new trailer, with more space, and rent a site closer to the ocean somewhere. Our trailer is okay, but it is a 1975 model, and they have made so many improvements in the comfort and efficiency of recreational vehicles since then. We go to the RV show almost ever year, and love looking at the new models with almost all the conveniences of home.
Longer, more interesting "Real blog" to come eventually. I have been thinking of some stuff and want to put it down in written words...
I wish you all a Happy Halloween, Dear Readers, and a Blessed Samhain to those who are celebrating. If you or your little ones are Trick-or-treating this evening, please be careful and stay safe!

Alas - it turned out to be tricks!
Angeline and I were going to go to the fireworks, but the cab didn't show up....
Had fun with the costumes though!
Oh my, that must be a lot of work & where will it all go when you get it home? It's understandable why you are giving it up, but it's still sad. But you'll have a lot of pleasant memories from your times there.
