Now it's Friday (keep playing along)
I woke up around 6:30 am - not because I wanted to, but because I needed the walk (the long walk to the outhouses) Everything was wet because it rained all night. You could here the pitter patter on the tent, but nothing heavy, just consistant. I was going to get the fire started, but the sky told me hold off; the clouds weren't opening up and I was sure there was rain coming. So I did the next best thing, I climbed back into bed and didn't wake up until 9:00 am. Good thing, because it did rain again.
This time I got up and started the fire. Cat got up and went to the van for the camp stove. To me this was luxury; to Cat - fast coffee. The day was pretty quiet and relaxing. The sky was mostly blue with the occasional dark cloud looming by. We thought we'd get rain, but it always seemed to just pass on either side of us. We spent time sitting in the chairs in the river, reading; resting at the falls, and of course, the infamous Ouiji Board. Cat like to ask questions about the future and the unknown. I asked future questions too, but one's that I would have answers to within the next few days. ie: Would Robin and Janice arrive before 9:00 pm (Ouiji was wrong) Would the son win his next soccer game (Ouiji said yes; I'll let you know on Wednesday) Would my car be washed before I got home (Ouiji was right) I guess the Ouiji board is just like gambling - all about chance.
So Robin and Janice arrived just after 8:00 pm Friday night. Cat was taking a short 2 hour nap, or what I usually call "passing out". She woke up when the ladies arrived. We got their gear all set up and sat around the camp fire chit chatting and drinking. It was an early night for Robin and I (some of us didn't sleep for two hours) Janice and Cat stayed up later - so late, neither Robin or I heard them come into the tent. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night, pushed around Janice's airmattress just to make sure they had made it into the tent.
BODY: Well rested and tanned
