i cut up a watermelon and i started putting it in tupperware containers and suddenly it seems WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TUPPERWARE CONTAINERS.

i got rid of all my tupperware.

i’m going to attempt to not spend the rest of my days missing all the stuff we sold/gave away at our garage sale.

here are a few photos from our camping trip to Giant City State Park down in southern illinois.

this is along the road by one of the short hiking places. very pretty.

this is me and mollie along the giant city trail.

and here’s kevin with mollie on the trail.

kevin and mollie

and here i had hiked up this path and kevin kept saying “just walk back a little bit so i can get you in the picture and i kept saying NO I’M GOING TO FALL AND KILL MYSELF so this is as close as i’d get. mollie, of course, kept running up and down the rocks like some kind of crazy rock-climbing nut because she loves hiking more than anything exept for eating/sleeping.

hiking again

note how mollie is as close as she can be to the grilling.

remember the torturous 12-mile, five hour hike? this is me at the start of the trail, blithely unaware of the wretched amount of hiking in front of me.

hike begins

and here’s mollie after hiking and hiking and hiking for hours and hours without adequate food/water. but at least she could drink out of the creeks.

mollie

that is all for now.

ok then,

camping grace.
