It’s been such a lovely week here that I’ve started thinking about camping again. We always have a lot of fun camping, but with the move and everything last year, we weren’t able to go. We’re making up for it this year, but in the meantime, I’ve got these great shots to get me in the spirit:

: Miss Tadpole evidently wasn’t careful enough…

: …when applying bug spray to Bubbles.

These pictures come from a trip to Pine Lake a couple of years ago, and are some of my favorite camping photos:

: The results…

: …were…

: …hilarious. 🙂

I can’t believe it’s May already – camping season is just around the corner!

Have a great weekend, everybody, and don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog and check out what she’s got going on today!

Over the weekend, I read the latest from Mark R. Hunter, Slightly Off the Mark: The Unpublished Columns. With columns on everything from politics to the weather (one of my own favorite topics), this book was chock full o’ laughs. I was crying with laughter within minutes of opening this book, and I elicited strange looks from my family as I continued reading.

At 190 pages, it was a quick read, and I finished it within a day. I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, and this was just what I needed to cheer me up. So if you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it.

Go on. You know you want to. 🙂

Mark R. Hunter is an author, firefighter, humorist, dad, and self-proclaimed home maintenance failure from northeast Indiana. His weekly humor column “Slightly off the Mark” appeared in three newspapers for over twenty years, which is coincidentally the age of his first grey hair, before being unceremoniously cut short in 2014. This volume collects his previously unpublished and “leftover”columns.
