Hey Angie,
Don't forget the wine coolers and guitars. You brought back incredible
memories of campfires. You know, my children, and I venture most kids
now-a-days will never know those good times, huddling in blankets,
singing songs, and relating stories about "The Hook!"
So much for modern progress. We used our camper when we took them to the
Grand Canyon and the closest they got to roughing it was using the
public outhouses.

I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer it
gets to the end, the faster it goes. Smell the roses!
