Only in Florida

Only in Florida (otherwise known as God's waiting room) can you fine 2 dicarded empty tubes of Bengay on the sidewalk. If only I'd snagged a picture of that. Instead look at this: These are everywhere I look down here. It's begining to look a lot like Christmas ALREADY!!

Hello muddah, hello faddah...

Here I am at.. Camp Granada

HELLO FROM JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA!  Today was the first day of Camp Broadway and my dogs are BARKIN'! It was a crazy day and I learned a lot.  I feel much better prepared for tomorrow and beyond. :)

Working for Camp Broadway and temping at the Fresh Air Fund a few months back has given me food for thought.  Why did I never go to camp when I was a kid?  I never went swimming in a lake full of other campers or  slept in a log cabin full of bunk beds.  Why not?  Ultimately I think it's because 1) I didn't really want to go to camp. I was too shy.  2) We lived in rual Tennessee and we would go "camping" as a family and 3) we didn't go to church so there were not "youth group" organized camping ventures or Christian camps in my life.  If there was ever a camp I did want to go to it was Space Camp!  Of course, I still want to go to Space Camp.  I wonder if there's a program for adults?  Hmm.

In any case, I'm totally in camp now.  It's not Space Camp.  It's not wilderness camp (although I could go swimming in the hotel pool).  I'm totally immersed in theater camp it's pretty amazing.  Watching the kids discover their own talents and have fun singing and dancing is a lot of fun!  Don't get me wrong- it's not a stress free work environment but it is certainly a rewarding one.
