WhatsGoingOn: tubing

Welcome To My Blog

My interests are sewing, quilting, NASCAR, and camping. I am married to a street rodder. We have multiple old cars - 1961 Willys Jeep Station Wagon and some Mopars. My husband's name is Denny and he has been into old cars for a long time. We have 5 children and 11 grandchildren that are just the greatest children ever! They are smart, beautiful, funny all rolled in together! We have 1 dog, Marcy, who is a St. Bernard and 1 cat that just showed up one day named Happy. She showed up during a NASCAR race and we named her after the winner - Happy Harvick.

I do hope you like my blog. It includes a variety of things and I may not be on it everyday, but I try to add things as much as possible.

Did you miss me?

Hi! Sorry I haven't been posting much but I have been busy! Ordinarily, we only camp 3 times a year - not because we wouldn't want to camp but we didn't have anyone to camp with. This year has been different in that we found people to camp with! Yeh! Our 2 daughters but hybrid campers and a friend bought a travel trailer, plus we reconnected with neighbors who camp.

So far we have camped at Roundtop Campground in Gettysburg (that was a HOT weekend), Steamboat Landing in Lewes Delaware (hot weekend but my son has a seasonal site and a screen room attached to his 5th wheel which kept it cooler), and Artillery Ridge Campground in Gettysburg (HOT+++ and our air conditioner kept shutting off). We had fun at those campgrounds but were hot.

This past weekend we went to Mountain Creek Campground in Gardners, PA. Our sites were large and right on the creek. The children went tubing down the creek right in front of our sites. There were large shade trees on our sites that kept it cooler. I believe this camping trip was the most fun!

We ate the usual hot dogs, hamburgers, and chipped beef gravy. We also tried a shredded chicken in barbeque sauce that we put on top of baked potatoes - delicious and it all was done in crockpots! Another new dish was made over the fire. We used the piemakers. The ingredients were grilled chicken, red & green peppers, cheese, taco seasoning, and a little bit of water. A soft taco shell was put on the piemaker, then all the ingredients, and another soft taco shell. Close the piemaker and place in the fire. You have to keep checking but it takes about 5 to 8 minutes until they are done. Delicious!

So far we will be camping at a streetrod show Labor Day weekend and camping at Artillery Ridge for Halloween. We have also been talking about going to Harpers Ferry, WV the beginning of October. Can't wait!
