Snakes on a vacation - and how I will be missing Miss Peg.....
It’s been so long since I posted, I forgot what I wrote about last!
We had a great family vacation. It was just the four of us, a small cabin on a lake in Pa, right on the Appalachian Trail. We had some great day-hikes, with afternoons floating in the lake, cooling off. Hiking with teenagers is a different sort of experience, (cue stoic silence) esp after we got to the view-the-scenic moment and spotted the snakes.
I guess that is a lie. I didn’t spot the snakes. Mr. Cub Scout Leader Nature Guy, along with 12 10-year old boys, came swarming up onto the cliff and pointed out the rattlesnake dozing in the sunshine under a ledge, curled up with a copperhead snake. I'm sure their parents didn't approve...
My feet floated up to my ears without any conscious effort. My daughter was equally thrilled. Right about then, hottie college student ambled by. My daughter thought he was real eye candy until he leaned over the ledge and hauled up a ten foot black snake for the cub scouts to coo over.
After that, our kids were done hiking. They opted to sleep in mornings so Mr. Wonderful and I hiked alone. Boy Howdie was I careful where I put my feet.
Still, we had fun. It’s nice to get away from regular life.
In other news of myselfness - my dear friend moved to Thailand. I am really going to miss her.
