Crime Lab Camping Trip

We LOVE camping with Mike's work...and our time with them seems to grow sweeter with each passing campout. Here are 20 more things I added to my "1000 Gifts" list...bringing my number to #695, after returning home today from our most recent time this weekend.


#1 -  Dams that create lakes.
#2 -  Yummy food I didn't have to plan or prepare.
#3 -  Solitary bird filling vast blue sky
#4 -  Magical lights flickering in the woods. Mesmerizing those lightening bugs were.
#5 -  Refreshing lake water
#6 -  Quiet sunsets shared on the boat with Mike
#7 -  Amazing people Mike works with.
#8 -  Happy people
#9 -  Babies and kids and laughter
#10 -   Watching people’s ‘happily ever after’ dreams come true
#11 -    Glowing embers
#12 -    Crackling wood
#13 -    A dozen or more sails bobbing along the shoreline
#14 -    Wind
#15 -   A break from the extreme heat for a few days
#16 -   Hammock lulling me into a nap
#17 -   Leaves silhouetted against the twilight sky
#18 -   Happiness
#19 -   Toasted marshmallows
#20 - girls who feel the same way, "Dad, you picked a great job!" - because camping with those he works with is so much fun!

and now that we're home...five more...to top off #700
#21 - hot showers
#22 - washing machines
#23 - air conditioners
#24 - pictures on the camera
#25 - memories in my heart
