this has been a very uneventful week-end.  it’s rather tempting to make up some exotic story to impress and entertain you, but who do you think you are, anyway? if i’m bored, you can be, too.  friday casey was off, so we did the rummage sales and farmers’ market.  he spent the rest of the day getting ready for a Scout biking/camping trip while i gardened and cooked.  the rest of the week-end,  i stayed close to home, gardening, computing, reading, eating…….

casey did have an interesting story when he returned this afternoon.  some caggies brought a large family-size tent (considered wuss-ish by real scouts who sleep in pup tents or some such primitive structure) and were only using it for 2 people, so he just threw down his bedroll in the front part and settled down to sleep.  before he drifted off, he heard something and felt something that seemed like it might be a mole underneath the floor of the tent.  as he listened, suddenly there was something  cold and damp on his face, like he was being slapped with a wet rag.  it was a frog that was hopping around inside the tent.  (okay, at this point, i would be hysterical and frankly would remain quite traumatized for weeks afterward)   he caught it and helped it outside the tent.  no way would i camp without casey there to protect me from wild frogs and other invaders.  we’ll be leaving friday to camp in the Smokies, so i’m glad he’s in practice.   

oh,  a lot of  my “doing nothing” has been setting up and getting accustomed to using my new laptop computer.  our campground will have wi-fi, so i can broadcast live this holiday week-end.  till then……
