I told him that beagles are Pets with Personnalities - you have some little experience with that A Personnality yourself. <BR/><BR/>"Yes," I said, "beagles march to a different drummer". The ale is Hound Ale; the slogan: "For those who march to a different drummer".<BR/><BR/>I'd buy you and your carpool a round but I'll be handing out lace scarves in Cherry Tree Hill glitter alpaca to friends on the rez in Wyoming.<BR/><BR/>-HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1147445897150355432006-05-12T10:58:00.000-04:002006-05-12T10:58:00.000-04:00I'm just sick with envy.

My parents forced me to go to Camp Wyoda in VT, where the only things I enjoyed doing were enameling and playing my violin in the camp orchestra. Otherwise, it sucked.<BR/><BR/>Going to Meg's camp has always been something I've wanted to do, though. Maybe next year or the year after. Maybe before I go to the LYS in the sky. Maybe.

She can terrorize the children at the complex's pool when she shows up in her itsy-bitsy-bikini.<BR/><BR/>The only camp I have ever been too was rowing camp. Spring break while in college we would leave frozen Boston and head to South Carolina. It was an 18 hour bus ride. There were water moccasins in the lake as well as small gators (talk about a reason for keeping your hands in the boat. I carried a stick for beating them off with- I was the coxswain.) It was 45 minutes from the nearest Walmart (and when you are 45 minutes from the nearest Walmart, you are in the middle of nowhere lemme tell you.) And I got food poisioned halfway up the bus ride home. For the remaining 9 hours, I thought I was going to die..... and I spent the next month in and out of the hospital due to that.<BR/><BR/>I hated rowing camp. However I am sure that knitting camp will be wayyyyyyyy better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1147391777182375982006-05-11T19:56:00.000-04:002006-05-11T19:56:00.000-04:00Hey, I had my first boy-on-boy kiss in a boy scout...Hey, I had my first boy-on-boy kiss in a boy scouts camp too!

I was involved with the troop, and our boys never went to Birch for summer camp, as they didn't like it there at all. Always ticked off the older Scouters, as they had fond memories of Birch from their young days. Go figure? Our scouts only went to Camp Birch for Camporees, etc. Too bad you didn't get a chance at Goshen in VA. While in VA, I took Webelos there two summers and it was great--BB guns, real archery, swimming in the lake, etc. You would probably have actually liked it.
