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
                            2:00  Scavenger Hunt
                            4:00 Pinantas
                            6:00 Trick or Treat
                            7:00 Hay Rides

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. 

And by that time of year, I mean ADULT Halloween Party time! Sorry kiddos, you have another week to go. As an adult (and yes, I am an adult, thank you very much! At least in age.), it's nice to have the ability to dress up and pretend to be something I'm not, drink a couple (translation: a lot), and have a jolly old time with friends alike. What even better than all that, you ask? The weather. This weekend's forecast looks perfect! 

Friday is Bingo. Time and place is a mystery. Good luck. 

Saturday, starting at 7 p.m. all adults should report to the pavilion! We're having a bonfire/potluck. Bring a passing dish please! The ADULT Halloween party will be running shortly after everyone has gotten their food. And yes, we're doing another Murder Mystery.

If you don't know what a Murder Mystery party is, and you're over the age of 18, you really should come. Last year was amazing. We had great actors, amazing costumes, hilarious skits, and more improvisation than was appropriate (that means you, Mr. Mack). I don't think I can handle any poems this year, so I gave the man a part where he won't get the chance! This year, the skit is a bit more intense, and a lot more weird. So stop in and see what we are all about! P.S. I still need some volunteers to be dancing virgins... any takers? 

Happy Camping!

Would someone please explain to Mother Nature that it's October! I want 65 degrees, not 85 and humid. It's bow season, and this heat wave makes for bad, bad hunting. If I don't want to move during 85 degree weather, what's to say a deer wants to. Grr! Just grr, Mother Nature. 

Rant over. 

Haha! Like I would stop talking. This weekend is another slow one. There's a schedule addition of a Euchre tournament at 1 on Saturday in the pavilion. Bingo follows. What time is Bingo, you ask? I'm not telling. Really, read the sign when you drive in. Cherie makes it all pretty every Sunday. If you read that pretty sign, you'll know that electric bills are also read. Pay me! 

​As always, Happy Camping!

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!
