July is like the weird middle point of camping, like a campgrounds version of Hump Day. It's about to get so hot that having a black car interior should be illegal, right along with metal seat belt clips. <-- That's my PSA for the next week. Have you looked at the weather?! Hot! Hot! Hot! Just like me ... 

Moving on! Did you know it's our 4th of July celebration this weekend? No? Well then, listen up because I'm about to list EVERYTHING!

Friday June 29 Bingo (if I have to list the time here, go home)

Saturday June 30  2 Egg Toss ($1/person)
                        3 Fire Trucks Dry Hydrant
                        6 Hog Roast Pot Luck (Bring a passing dish)
                        7 Farmer Fire Dept Ice Cream (Free will donation)
**A quick note about the Farmer Fire Department: They do so much here. The Easter Egg hunt is put on by them. Whenever there is a threat of bad weather, they call us personally to warn us. They spray you with water from the dry hydrant. Seriously, these men (and women?) help keep everything here safe and sound. And let's be real for a second, a man in uniform just has that something ... ice cream; they have good looking ice cream. PLEASE donate to their homemade ice cream to show your thanks and support for everything they do! We like them. 

Sunday July 1  1-5 Inflatable Bouncers
                    2 Parade (Decorate them carts!)
                    7:30 Bingo 

Tuesday July 3  8-10 Pete Schlegel (this is nighttime, folks)
                      10:30 Fireworks (also nighttime)

If you're interested, there is a free will donation box in the office. This is so they can afford to pay me ... ahem, I mean, for the fireworks. There is also a black mailbox along the drive for the same thing. 

My second PSA of the day: This weekend is going to be packed with people and munchkins all around the place. Please drive slow. 5 mph is the speed limit, and I can't stress this enough. Children dart, and sometimes, adults don't look. Please drive slow!

​Happy Camping!

In case you never hear from me again ... my co-workers read this. I repeat. MY CO-WORKERS READ THIS. Have read this! They may take violent action, and they're really terrifying people. Have you seen Megan? Scary, scary. 

Ahem. Moving on, before I seal my own fate ... Friday! The night kicks off with Bingo. Same time. Same place. That's followed by the Black Beard's Bay Adult night at 9. <-- the name should tell you where you need to be. Bring your own beverage and a snack to share. it's $10 entry if you don't have a season pass. Obviously, you must by 21 to drink. We have a DJ playing that night too!

Saturday starts with a kid's craft at 2 p.m. in the pavilion. I don't know what they're making. I'm not a kid. At 7 p.m. in the pavilion, the Sip & Paint starts. They're painting some pretty pictures (or not so pretty, depending on how much juice is consumed). This is also bring your own wine. There's no way we could afford to supply the beverages for all of you. Seriously, you all drink too much ... or maybe that's just me. 

Anywho ... 

Happy Camping!

One would honestly think that with the way the world is internet starved these days, whoever ran the website would keep up. I know. I know. I always promise to keep everyone updated about everything, and once again, its been like two weeks. If you have a complaint about that, sorry. We don't have a complaint box, but Karen is here weekdays from 11-4 if you would like to vent! :) 

If only the workers actually read this ... You know what? I hope they don't. I'm going to be in so ... so much trouble. Pray for my soul. May I rest in peace. I'm not going to make it out of this alive. 

Ahem. Business as usual: Friday is the Family Game Night at 7:30. Bring your favorite board game, snacks, and a drink for some good 'ole fashioned FAMILY fun. Keep it clean, peeps. Unless someone brings Monopoly. Let's be real. Monopoly is the only board game in the history of the world that is known to ruin marriages, friendships, and families. Maybe we should leave that one out. 

Saturday morning is the 5K Walk for Your Health at 9. Meet in the front of the office for a nice leisurely stroll to no one knows where. You know what, you can probably even run those 5 miles if you're a super-duper ambitious person (who needs theraphy and a staight-jacket). It's for your health. Do it. That's followed by Bingo Saturday night. 

PSA: I believe that I have the internet issue resolved for good. If you think the internet isn't working at your campsite, please let ME know. I know how to fix it, or see if something more serious is wrong. Just tell me I'm a genius once I fix it. I thrive on compliments. And tacos. On second thought, just bring me tacos. 

Happy Camping!

Ummm ... It's already Memorial Weekend. What happened to spring? Where did May go? Not that I miss that chilly weather or anything. Not one bit. Hello, 80 degrees. I missed you. If you could stick around for ... oh, I don't know, seven months, that would be great. Thanks. 

This weekend is packed with all sorts of goodness and fun for you all to attend. Friday kicks off with Bingo. Saturday morning at 9:00 be there for the breakfast that all of us workers cook for you. I'm making omlettes ... again. 3:00 is the Egg toss that is $1 a person. I think you win money, but I'm not sure why you would win money for throwing eggs. In my day, you'd get arrested for that ... just saying. 8:00 Saturday night is the ever popular Dale Vaughn Band. Come out and rock with us. There is a free will donation box across from the office!

Sunday at 1:00 is for the kiddos. The bouncers will be up and ready to play in ... kids. Not you, Megan. 2:00 is the Poker Hike/Run and 7:30 that night is Bingo. You old people really like that Bingo thing, don't you. Weirdos. 

As always, there's going to be a ton of people here, and even more children running around. Please, please, please, please, DRIVE SLOW. The speed limit is 5 mph. If there's a time for you to follow it, it's during the holiday and weekend times. You don't want to be that person. 

Happy camping!

Internet. Issues. Fixed! And I didn't die. It was beyond close there for a little bit, but I was able to push through and get this baby back up and functional. You no longer have to add the .weebly.com to the end of the website, and it won't be going down any time soon (sans nothing like some sad stroke of bad luck that ruins the previous statement). <--- if this happens, I want my straight jacket to be robin's egg blue so it matches my eyes. 

Moving on, folks! This weekend has some new activities to enjoy. Friday night at 9:00 is the Kid Movie Cruise In. It's a BYOS (bring your own snacks!) and sit back with the kiddos to enjoy a good, family friendly movie. Saturday kicks off with Bingo. Same place, same time. Really, it's a habit. At 9:00 on Saturday night, it's the Adult Movie Cruise In. Same rules apply for this night, except ... it's for adults. Like the name says. Adults. Something none of us want to be. You can find me at the kid's movie with my teddy bear, frog blanket, and what you think is milk in my cup. Cheers!

I keep checking the weather for the weekend, but one day the weekend looks fantastic. And the next day, we're all getting out our canoes. The weatherman must have gotten into the milk, too. So, if you plan on camping this weekend, you better be prepared to get a tan or swim for ice cream ... I bid you good luck. 

Happy Camping!

Now, now, this time I didn't lie about keeping everyone updated. I tried. The internet just didn't want me to do anything. The internet has failed me. It has failed you. Hmm... too bad we can't get rid of it. It's stuck, and no one can stop it. 

I know it seems like the website is back to normal, but until May 15th, it may still be unavailable at times. After May 15th, this website should not crash. Ever. It will be perfect and eternal ... just like me. You're welcome. I'll be here all week. Really, I'm here all week. Every week. They don't let me leave. Help. Me. 

Business! There is one schedule addition for Saturday. Thirty-One Bingo Saturday, May 12 @ 10:31 a.m. (<-- I see what you did there. Clever). They keep telling me it will be fun, so I guess show up and see what it's all about. I'll be on beverage #1 at that point, so..... There's a Euchre Tournament at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Bingo is Saturday night. Time and place is the same as always. We're predictable. 

Hopefully the weather doesn't get too bad, and this weekend can be enjoyed. I sure hope the sun shines for everyone. And for me. I have a garden to plant. 

Happy Camping!

I know. I know. I lied. I try so hard to keep up to date with this blog thingy, but seriously, we all know my attention span. It's smaller than the spider that invaded my office a few weeks ago. Thanks for that Jim. Real hero, right there. 

Ahem. Attention span. Camping season started. It really really did. And from the state of the ice cream in the cooler, you all realized that we're locked, stocked, and ready to go! In principle, of course. No one said I was ready to deal with all of you on a daily basis. And that's a fact. I like all of you well enough. It's just ... yeah. There's so many of you. And my brain has been on mental hibernation for like five months. I was not emotionally prepared for April. I'm still not emotionally prepared for April, and it's almost May. Calm yourself, 2018. 

Bingo! Saturday! It's supposed to be a nice weekend, and a nice week to follow. So you should enjoy that! Weather wise, of course. I can't account for all of you have a "nice" week at your jobs, homes, etc. That's all up to you. Smile a bit at people; it'll make you and them happy. Unless you're me, and they wonder what you're up to. 

Happy Camping! :) 

I like the ominous-ness (<--- this cannot be a word) of that title. What's in four days? End of the world? Amanda gives out free ice cream? 2018 Seasonal Rent is due? I burn this place to the ground? ... Wait, it's not that last one. At least it's not for now. One more spider though, and I may pull out the blow torch. We were gone for 5 months spider friends. We come back every year. Stay out of my office... or else. 

Seriously, 2018 Seasonal Lot Rent is due Sunday. Pay up... or else. And by else, I mean the late fee. They won't let me set people on fire for paying late. I asked.

In case no one has looked at the weather lately, I did for you. Did you know it's supposed to snow on Monday? This is following a B-E-A-utiful weekend. If the weekend forecast changes, I may have to intervene. Poor, poor weather man. He won't even see it coming. If he's right though, and doesn't change anything, I may send him a drink. On second thought, I'll just drink it for him. 

Just in case none of you is fully convinced I'm insane yet, I've included a short video about sunshine (Sunshine is in the title... it counts). 

Happy Camping!

If those two prior words don't make you happy, stop reading now, call your nearest therapist, and schedule an appointment. You may not like me, but I can assure you, me being back means it's CAMPING SEASON! 

I repeat: CAMPING SEASON IS UPON US! 

Ahem. Just had to clear my throat after a long winter. Someone around here gave Mother Nature a strong talking to because it's beautiful outside, and I'm praying it sticks around for good. But I won't cross my fingers. For those who haven't heard the news, I moved. I no longer live at the campground. Blame Jon; I blame him for everything. He has broad shoulders. There's another new thing in my life, but I'd rather let you all speculate. We all know how much I love the rumor mill. It's my favorite. First one to guess gets a free ice cream cone. So if you read this, you have the first chance in 2018 to get some free stuff from me! 

BUSINESS: The beginning of the year packet has been sent out. If you have a change of address or never received one, let someone know. Your most recent balance is in that packet, and you know how much I like money. The Easter Egg hunt is March 31 at 10:oo a.m., and our office will be opening April 9. Well ...  that's really all I have for business so far this year. I will attempt to keep everyone posted on the upcoming events, but we know how good my attention span is. Enjoy the rest of your break while it lasts!

Happy camping!

This is beyond my favorite time of year. Deposits are paid. It's getting colder... it's the last camping weekend... 

... 

Sorry, everyone! Had to wrestle the computer away from my evil twin. It's such a sad, sad time of year when everyone leaves. That's 5 1/2 months of me, alone, in my back tiny office. It's the worst and longest time of my life! 

...

Don't worry, everyone. The sappy one has been locked away, for good. I won't go as far as to say I will miss ALL of you. That would make me a liar! But sadly, this is the last weekend, and it's just about as big as the 4th of July. It's Halloween time for the kiddos. Adults: make sure you buy enough candy. These are not our children! I repeat: these are not our children! Give them as much sugar as you want because they don't come home with us! And seriously, I would have more than 500 pieces of candy. The children. They're everywhere! It's actually quite terrifying. 

​Ahem. 

Schedule:

Friday, October 27 Bingo
Saturday, October 28 9:00 Breakfast
                            11:00 Pumpkin Carving

Back to matters at hand: The adult Halloween party was AWESOME!! Of course, Mr. Mack never ceases to disappoint me. What goes around comes around. The characters from the Murder Mystery party were amazing, and I have to give all the credit for that night to them. They went along with everything I told them to do, even when they had no clue what was going on. Amazing job, everyone! 

REMINDER: There will really be children everywhere this weekend. (If you haven't been around for a Halloween Trick or Treat out here, we have over 500 KIDS). The speed limit is 5 mph. Please, don't be that person. 

Happy Camping.
