This is the 'driveway' to get to where we camped this weekend. A second entrance has a similar, but curvy tree-lined pine-needle road. The trucks and trailers fit snugly. I would love this as my driveway.
Damn, it was a fun weekend. We sat around campfires and laughed so much. On Saturday we went into Grantsburg for little bit for beer, pizza, and nachos.
Most meals though were prepared by our group. Sheila made spicy breakfast burritos for our contribution (I bought the food and cleaned the kitchen). This morning we had another equally good breakfast: puff pastry sheets, filled with gruyere cheese and ham, then baked to a wonderful crispness. As we all ate, we came up with suggestions of ingredients to try for puff pasty sheets. Asparagus, tomatoes, and feta cheese are what I want to try.
We forgot to get a group photo of the eight of us. The women had asked me to get a shot of all of them. As I held my phone carefully, lining up the shot, waiting for a beautiful songbird to fly through the background at the perfect moment, and trying to time the shot for ideal rays of light to happen as I pressed the button, I heard shouting: "Bob! Hold the camera higher! None of us are in our 40s any more!" Fine. I stood up straight, held the camera above my head, and pressed the button. Everyone seemed pleased at my "effort."
When we got home today I thoroughly cleaned then winterized the trailer. I like doing that stuff, but it's a lot of work. When I parked the trailer at our storage place I was a bit sad, knowing we won't take it out until next spring. Same sad story for the motorcycles soon too.
This evening I'm washing all sorts of blankets, bed linens, towels and such. Even our winter coats are getting washed right now, because we wore them around the campfires.
The dogs are utterly exhausted from running in the woods, chasing critters, and playing with other dogs all weekend.

Thinking about feedist camping 🏕️…making huge portions of delicious camping recipes like berry cobbler, campfire nachos, baked potatoes and s’mores. Ending the night in a cozy tent cuddling a warm fat body in a XXL sleeping bag. Bliss 🌌🏞️

Campfire S’mores Nachos
Tumblr media
Ingredients
Graham crackers
Mini marshmallows
Regular marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Pan:
Break up graham crackers and spread them in the bottom of an 8x8-inch foil pan. Use two cinnamon graham crackers for a flavorful twist, though regular graham crackers work as well.
Layer the Ingredients:
Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers.
Scatter chocolate chips on top of the mini marshmallows.
Repeat the layering process with more graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
Add more chocolate chips and place a few regular-sized marshmallows on top for extra gooeyness.
Cover the Pan:
Cover the pan with a piece of heavy-duty foil, ensuring it is wrapped tightly around the edges.
Cook Over Heat:
Place the pan on the grate of a grill or over a campfire. It's best to cook over coals rather than an open flame to prevent burning.
Cook until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted. You can lift a corner of the foil to check or rely on the smell of the melted chocolate.
Serve:
Carefully remove the pan from the fire.
Remove the foil lid and enjoy your delicious, gooey s’mores nachos!
Enjoy the classic flavors of s’mores in a fun, shareable form perfect for any campfire gathering!

The Squad and their worst pickup lines:
Hangman: “Are you religious? Cause I can have to calling to God all night”
Bob: “Are you a Wi-Fi hotspot? Because I feel a connection”
Coyote: “That outfit would look great in a crumpled heap next to my bed”
Phoenix: “Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes?”
Rooster: “Excuse me. My friend over there is a little embarrassed. He’d like your phone number. He wants to know where he can get ahold of me in the morning.”
Fanboy: “You and I are like nachos with jalapeños. I'm super cheesy, you're super hot, and we belong together.”
Payback: “Are you a campfire? Cause you’re hot and I want s’more”

🔀 & (ch)ronance whatever floats your sapphic boat 🫶🏻
okay so hear me out.........chronance who all work at a summer resort.....
Forget all of the tears that you've cried It's over (over, over, over) It's a new state of mind Are you coming, my baby?
they're all trying to escape a bad breakup from back home. figured working at a summer getaway would mend their spirits. until robin can't stand to clean another pool. until nancy can't stand to serve one more rich asshole. until chrissy can't stand to make another pina colada.
they meet in the breakroom, bitching about how gross and awful customers are. they soon become a lil inseparable trio. spending their days leaving each other little notes, setting aside drinks and food for each other, texting in their group chat whenever they get a spare second to get their phones out. maybe a little harmless flirting. maybe.
"we're going to the beach tonight. after our shifts. i'm demanding it now, we deserve it." robin texts.
"chrissy, could you sneak us a six pack?" nancy texts.
"only if you get us some jumbo nachos" chrissy texts.
"what is robin's contribution?" nancy texts.
"my sparkling personality, obviously." robin texts.
they all meet at sunset on the beach with their drinks and snacks, all dressed in their bikinis. they manage to get access to the resort's campfire. when they slowly relax and start opening up, they all realize that they're all escaping breakups. they start walking each other through what went wrong. a few tears shed along the way.
"i just don't understand why this keeps happening," chrissy sniffles. "the right person has to be out there, right?"
"it's just...it all feels wrong," nancy adds.
"it shouldn't be so much work, you know? it should be fun at the end of the day." robin says.
"i have a lot of fun with you guys," chrissy says, quietly.
the three of them look between each other, slowly calculating. not wanting to say it out loud because the three of them? that would be silly.....right.......
they go swimming at some point, laughing and splashing in the water. they keep wading closer to each other, touches getting more brave. they feel so light and free. something none of them have felt in ages.
robin sneaks behind the coincerage desk and gets a room key, breaking into a resort room so they don't have to go back to the employee bunks. the tension is papable at this point but neither knows how to actually get anything started. until the three of them mention needing to shower the salt water off their bodies...
nancy walks toward the bathroom door, back turned to them as she takes off her bikini top. she glances over her shoulder and says, "are you coming or what?"
send me a 🔀 and a pairing, and i’ll shuffle my playlist and make an au based on the first song that comes up

💕��create the illusion of hanging out with your mutuals tag game✨💕
I was tagged by @perhaps-mr-collins-has-a-cousin Hello there! Stay healthy, friend!
are you a morning person?
No. Not in the slightest. Please do not chat/call/text me before I have drunk my coffee and it is past 9:00 AM.
ideal breakfast?
A soft boiled egg with a piece of toast.
favorite warm drink, and how do you take it? 
A latte with nonfat milk
sit in the sunshine or the shade? 
It depends on the time of year- if it is winter or spring, then sunshine. If it is summer, then definitely the shade.
favorite baked good? 
The oatmeal butterscotch cookies that a friend of my mom’s made when I was growing up
a song or album that makes you feel at peace? 
Rain by BTS . I like jazz, and it really does feel like looking through the window outside at a rainy day.
a chore that if someone completed it for you you’d love them forever?
Folding and putting away the laundry. Luckily, Mr. Poppy does it, mostly, because if it weren’t for him, it would just stay in the laundry basket in a heap.
favorite board/card game to play with friends?
Anything in the Rook/Euchre/Hearts/Spades family. I grew up playing Euchre as a regional thing, but Mr. Poppy’s family plays rook because they are from a different region.
what kind of snacks/candy do you want at a movie theater?
I normally like popcorn with lots of butter and a soda, but a giant roll of sweet tarts or sprees is good too.
bar with live music or bar with a pool table? 
This is tough. I really like live music, but some of my happiest times were hanging out with friends around the pool table when I was younger. I am terrible at pool, but it was about being with friends.
go-to wine/cider/beer/cocktail? 
If I am having cocktails I’ll usually order an amaretto sour.
go-to bar food? 
Nachos with lots of stuff on them.
are you tending the fire, looking at the stars, or singing campfire/folk songs?
Looking at the stars. I love watching for meteors, and looking at constellations and (if I’m far enough out of town) the Milky Way. But I will cheerfully do the other two as well! I’ve been to Wood Badge and OLS so I’m pretty good at building fires.
a favorite Scripture verse or prayer?
The prayer by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., that starts: Above all, trust in the slow work of God. [I am a very impatient person]

Personal Tag Game
I was tagged by @raksh-writes . Hi there!
Last song: “Late Night Talking” by Harry Styles. I really like it- it is such an ear worm. Very excited to see him this fall!
Last TV show: Obi-Wan Kenobi. The cinematography is amazing. Meh on the storyline though. When I die I want Pablo Hidalgo to be a pall bearer so that the Story Group can let me down one last time. Will continue watching just for the visual spectacle!
Currently watching: Also watching Bride of Habaek/Bride of the Water God. The premise started off really well but then never panned out. Instead of the search for the missing stones (which sounded cool) it’s just the two leads moping for each other and the female lead bordering on rude to her employee. Maybe other people would enjoy this plot more, but it is not what I came for. I am only watching to the end because I hate DNFs. [I also have second hero syndrome because the first lead is kinda bland. This is one of Nam Joo-Hyuk’s earliest roles so maybe he was just learning to act or the writers gave him boring material to work with]
Tumblr media
Currently reading: Momo/The Life Before Us by Emile Ajar/Romain Gary. It’s okay. It’s better than some things I’ve read so far this year, but not the greatest. It’s in the category of boyhood/apprenticeship novels. I hope it gets better? I’m only 1/3 of the way through, and I’m supposed to have it done by the end of today. 😳
Tagging (but only if you want to play, as usual!)
@myevilmouse @sunshinerainbowsbts @hannahbee12719 @seokjinger-ale @reliablemittenmain @heilith and @jhopegrandma

It was morning. Probably around 10 if she had to make a guess, and both she and her new guest had survived the storm. The kitten - which she was fairly certain was a he - had spent all night cuddled up against her for warmth as they both waited out the snow and freezing rain, Roxanne silently praying that they wouldn't be flooded out. Luckily for the both of them, it had snowed more than rained, and as she sat poking at a still growing campfire, she glanced down at the sleeping orange bundle of purring fluff in her lap and smiled.
"What should I call you?" She asked it and gently stroked the orange M on its tiny forehead. "Hm..."
Pumpkin immediately popped into her mind. He was orange like one. Or maybe Nacho? Queso? Something like that?
A soft mewl got her attention again as she looked down at her lap. He'd woken up now and was poking his head around in her blankets, itty bitty claws grabbing at the plush sleeping bags that cocooned Roxanne's legs as he started to move around.
"I know, I know, you must be hungry by now." She carefully rocked herself forward and grabbed an empty tin can that had been sitting on the ground. "I'm sorry I don't have anything for kittens but I don't think cows milk could hurt that bad? At least not until I can get to the store again."
She split her attention between watching the orange bean in her lap squirm about and minding where her hand was groping at as she reached for a pint of milk sitting in the snow. Using one hand to unscrew the cap and the other to corral her new companion, she carefully poured an amount of milk into the can until there was almost as much milk as there was kitten.
Ok, now to heat it up...
Roxanne's attention had almost completely focused in on the can of liquid she had poured as she set the jug down, the carefully grabbed the tin between her fingers. The fire was going pretty well now, and flames licked the sides and bottom of the can as she carefully dropped it onto a grilling rack that covered part of the fire pit.
I can't let it burn or get too warm, she told herself as her eyes dropped back to the creature in her lap. He won't be able to eat it if I do.
An eraser sized pink nose shoved against her hand as he tried to push past his captor to no avail, then mewled up at the sky in complaint. Roxanne smiled, a short giggle falling off her lips before she could stop it.
"You can't leave just yet buddy," She said, leaning forward again as she dipped a spoon into the can of milk and stirred it. "Once I know you've had breakfast, then you can explore a little, ok?"
She locked eyes with the little one, and a long, soft mew answered her as blue-grey eyes stared up at her expectantly.
You're a whiner, eh? She thought as she shook her head. That's ok. I am too.
Roxanne gently patted the orange fluff ball in her lap and dipped a finger into the can, pausing to gauge how warm the liquid inside was by now. That should be good.
The mewing started up again as Roxanne carefully stirred the warm can. He can probably smell it, she guessed as she watched him try to climb her shirt. And someone is impatient.
"You remind me of someone." She mused aloud with a dreary smile as she poured some milk into a shallow bowl.
