This is our last
full day at this location. We were hoping for sun but no luck. It was
cloudy and cool yet again. Our neighbors gave us a tour of their
Airstream trailer. It is an older model but they have it done up so
nicely inside. There is a couch that folds out into a queen sized bed
that was covered in a lambskin throw. Irene made me try it out and I
must confess it was so cozy I wanted to have Francis go get me the
book I was reading and spend the day there. Monica gave us some
vegetarian spaghetti and garlic bread she made in the camper's little
kitchen and it was awesome. While we were eating, we met a young man
fishing by the name of Brandon. He is 14 but looked 11. He came
looking for hot dogs for bait for bass. We nor our neighbors had any
but Monica gave him some left over fish from their previous meal.. He
was a very nice and polite young man who knew a lot about fishing. We
see so much that is wrong with today's youth, it is refreshing to see
a young man so well mannered and who has such a love for fishing.
Aside from that, he had his sister and her friend along and he built
a lean to for the friend because she is recuperating from surgery and
gets cold easily. After hearing that, Monica cooked up another batch
of spaghetti to serve to the youngsters. I guess I am not the only
one with a soft spot for kids. In the evening we sat at Irene and
Monica's campfire (Irene's fires are amazing) with another writer,
Carolenna Martin, and another camper named Bob. It is fun to get to
know other campers and trade experiences. We always get new ideas for
places to go and things to see. After Carolenna and Bob left, Irene
told us some fascinating stories of her parents during World War II
Poland and her and her husband in communist Poland.
