Well... Hello there.

 The keeper of the site....is Cherie Kimpel.  If you really, really need something, you can probably ask me. If I don't know, I'll find out!  This blog is where I will do my best to keep everyone updated on what's going on, but sometimes, work gets in the way.

My Goodness ... Next Week is October

If that title doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks, then I don't know what else to do. This year has just moved. It seems like yesterday was July 4th weekend, and we were all shooting off fireworks. The darn heat wave must be throwing me. I thought for sure I was melting this weekend, and it was not a pleasant experience. 

Business: Bingo is Friday night. Not Saturday. Saturday we are celebrating the life of one of our past campers: Joyce Reader. There will be a benefit in her honor in the pavilion, starting at 5. Come help us remember the life of a woman who was truly wonderful. 

O.K. So this week is a little short. Forgive me. I had decaf coffee last night, and I'm trying to detox it out of my system. So far, no good. Also, I'm packing, so my brain is shot from the emotional turmoil of how much crap you can accumulate in a 500 square foot house in the matter of 3 years. It's terrifying. 

This weekend should actually be nice. You can start a campfire without the fear of melting your face and shins. Yay!

Happy camping!

Hurricane?

9/19/2017

What's a hurricane? Ohioans don't understand that word. We have high water, maybe tornadoes, and high winds. The most we have to deal with is when Mother Nature starts crying like a whiny baby. The devastation that took place is something I can't firmly grasp, and probably never will. Everyone has a long and difficult road ahead of them, and my thoughts and prayers go out to them. If you feel the need to donate, there are several places to do so. Go to google, search Hurricane Irma Donations, and choose. You can't really pick a bad one. 
​
From what I understand though, all our Snow Birds are good to go. They've been blessed, and there was only minor, and I mean minor, damages. On that note, I still need kidnapped for a winter, people! It's cold here. 

It's all down hill from here. Weather wise. Camping wise, this is the season! Camp fires don't melt your face off, and mosquitoes are dying! That means camping has just become so much more fun. I do love me some fall. So come one and come all, Hickory Acres camping is in its prime. 

If you weren't aware, 2018 Seasonal Deposits were due Friday. This means late fees are in place, so if you haven't paid or do not intend on returning to camping, please contact us immediately. We would like to get moving on calling those on the waiting list. This weekend holds a schedule addition: Family Game Night. If you have a family game (PG-13 people!) that you would like to play, bring it! Friday night will hold this game night, and Saturday is, of course, Bingo.

As always: Drink much, laugh often, and make friends. 

Happy Camping!

Pat on the Back

If you don't know the tiny, bratty blonde girl that we call Megan, you're missing out. I told you all it would happen, but it's finally here. MEGAN HAS BEEN CORRUPTED! You're all welcome. She's wonderful. <- This is only here because Megan will never read this, and I can. She also can't change it. I'm the only one with the password. 

Ahem. Ever heard the saying: Distance makes the heart grow fonder? It's a boldfaced lie. I distanced myself from the gym for three weeks so I could, you know, do life, and I'm not very fond of my inability to walk properly. Also, my mom won't stop whining, and muscle memory isn't muscle remember where we were are three weeks ago! 

If you don't like my weekly rants and stupid rambling, you're at the wrong blog. 

Business! 2018 SEASONAL DEPOSITS ARE DUE FRIDAY! $500.00. Be there or well, get a late fee. There's also Bingo sometime this weekend. Don't ask me about it. I won't be there. I'll be peddling my life away on a Peddle City tour in Fort Wayne for a bachlorette party. My legs better not be sore by then. As usual campy friends, drive 5 mph, have fun, drink and laugh lots. 

Happy Camping!

Cue the Curtain...

I need a job that lets me say cool things like that, or "Prepare the cannons,"... Now where do I get a job like that? Someday I think I will become a food blogger. Do they get paid for that? Eat all I want and write a snippet about it on the internet. That's easy right?! Do they have coffee tasting bloggers? Maybe I'll start something new. I am a trend setter. 

Yeah, yeah, I'll just keep working here instead. Meh, you all would miss me if I disappeared! 

Well now, business time! Starting today, everyone has 1 full week (7 days) to get their 2018 Seasonal deposits in! They're $500.00 this year, and the rest ($1,100.00) will be due in April. You all know the drill. Don't pretend you don't. This Saturday is a Keep Fish day, and Bingo is sometime this weekend. Read the sign when you come in to the park. It's says all!

The weather is really starting to show some signs of fall... and we all know how I feel about fall. Pumpkins, jeans, boots, coffee all day long, and bow season. Those are just 5 of my favorites things. It's the dark days that come after fall that really ruin my mood. Although, Jon really seems to like those evil days. Maybe I'll turn him into a snowman this year. Tune in this spring to find out! 

​Happy Camping!
