I tried to leave you a message from my phone but realized after typing the whole shebang out that I had written the whole thing in the name spot.

Anyway…I think I said something along these lines.

I hoped to get back there some day with our kids. I have such great memories of that place! One of my favourite is of Mike Bowman wearing a dress and getting in huge trouble. Ha, the things that stick with a person! Oh and of course since I had aunt Keren as a councillor that was fun. Anyway I always dreamt that I would someday council kids there myself, guess I would have to go back to meeting and get gathered and all again though.

we’re having that kind of 4rth too. It feels strange, but also? kinda relaxing.

Greetings from the desert! Hey B, where did you shoot your blooming cactus? I love it! When ours are blooming I always threaten to grab the 6′ ladder and shoot’em from the top – but then I get lazy :)

Disappointment is one of the hardest things for me to bear. Whether it is surprise disappointment or a gradual “you know it’s coming” kind of disappointment…it takes me quite some time and just the right consolation to get over it. I wish I had some good cheer-up advice, but I think you are just justified in feeling a little blue and mourning a little. Letting yourself be sad is necessary before feeling happy again, I find.

We wil miss you! I will let W and D know that you wished you could have been there. BTW it looks like three of your aunties as well as your mom are going to be there!

I wish The Mr. and I could go, and I wish you could go too! I think many feel the same way. It is so sad that this truly is their last year. It will be missed so bad!

i hope something happens last minute that gives you the opportunity to go, it sounds like it would mean a lot to you. maybe the operators will subsidize you if you write a great story about it after and give it to them as a gift!

SAJ says: Oh no. I wouldn’t want that. I’ve already been a charity case for years at this camp. They would have let me come to the camp for free and that is beyond generous already. But thank you for your thoughts. It was other variables too like the time and Toby wanting us to be home with him. :)

Those decisions are SO hard. Hope something special comes up @ home that makes it more enjoyable. I miss that camp too :(.

I’m sorry to read you’re feeling down. For what it’s worth, I think there’s a lot of merit in the decision you’ve made and I sincerely hope you can enjoy having made it, on some level, but soon. You said it yourself: it will be okay!
