Hello sweet friends.
I’m taking a break from our Sunday post this week to give myself a bit of a holiday.
I’m camping in Mississippi – in an RV with air conditioning – I’m not totally crazy.
I’ll be cooking this camping menu, listening to a lot of 90’s music, swimming in a river, and sitting around a campfire.
Thanks for being here every week. It really means so much that we’ve made this space together. I hope you safely enjoy the outside today. I hope there’s watermelon and pink wine and extra sun.
I should do a road trip food post later this summer – I’m a pro because I literally can’t drive more than an hour without snacking.
Ok friends! Be well, I love you.

Aww.. I was camping last week in the eastern Sierras 1 mile outside the tioga pass Yosemite entrance. 9 days on a lake kayaking, hiking and reading. What a refresher. I hope you enjoyed your time. Could have used your menu last week lol.

I camped with that same stove this past weekend. Enjoy!

You say “swimming in a river in Mississipi” and I think “snakes.” I hope that wasn’t the case and you had an amazing time.

It was more like a creek and I kept an eye out for snakes. :)

Breaks are good. Enjoy your holiday. And the 90s music. I can’t get a 90s song out of my head lately. Remember “What’s Going On” by 4 Non Blondes?

Today is a beauty. I am appreciating the weekend you’ve created for yourself. Here in Alberta it’s 2 generous cups of black coffee in bed with Tolkien, bike rides out west with my kids and always watermelon. ?

Enjoy and safe travels. My way of camping!

Air conditioned camping with some visits outdoors is my idea of camping in the heat. Enjoy it and stay safe!

Stay safe, and savor the moments! I am off to flick Japanese beetles into a container of soapy water before I pick blueberries. Cold brew coffee in my sacred mug.

Enjoy your well-deserved break! I’ll be enjoying my pink wine while watching Hamilton. :)
