In case anyone was wondering where I'd gone off too!

Well I thought about you yesterday morning! I baked some of your yummy Blueberry Muffins! I was gone a good part of the weekend. On Sat. I did a craft fair in the morning with a friend, then had Catechist training in the afternoon. Yesterday, the Girl Scouts had a booth at our town's fall festival. Unfortunately it rained off and on during the time we were there. Clare and her friend Erin were doing face painting, and there were about 30 kids who showed up. Maybe it's better that more kids didn't come, there were only the two of them, and I don't think they could have done many more.

Tried to catch up in the evenings, but it was usually VEY late when I got on.

Did y'all have fun? Where did you go camping?

We went to the state park where I usually catfish. We were planning on just going fishing like we frequently do, but my mom called in the middle of our preparations and they had just got home from camping...still had their trailer with them (not put away at the place they store it) so they just loaded a bit more stuff in it to eat and we all caravaned to the park and stayed!

It was gorgeous. The weather was sunny, crisp. My dad took the boys (who get bored after a while with fishing) on hikes and bike rides. We had a bon fire at night and made s'mores.

I caught a catfish, but it was too small to keep. I hooked it well, though and it didn't really damage it...so it lived to be caught another day! Otherwise, I stood on the shore, watching the sun sink and the shad sparkling on the top of the water in the sunlight...heaven on earth!

Oh, and the place is only about 30 minutes away!
