Hey There!
Ooh, my, y’all. I try. I really try to keep it all together. I make lists on lists. I keep a blanket in my car and always have a toothbrush stashed “just in case,” and then sometimes I miss the mark entirely. Best of intentions, right?
As you know, each month we get together with our camping friends and have a potluck. We usually go out and sit around a campfire, hang out, sing, and generally have a good time.
Well, a year or so ago, the host got a propane fire pit, and we’ve been using it pretty heavily when the weather is icky.
Considering it had been snowing and raining and gross for weeks, I just figured that the back field would be mush, the wood would be wet, and we’d stick to the fire pit when we met this month.
I was wrong.
So there I am in my little cloth flats, the Fellow in his crocs, all our friends outside and us stuck inside.
I decided that I wasn’t missing out on the fun, so we tied some Walmart bags over our shoes and off we shuffled!

They really did a good job of keeping us warm, but they were slick! I was a bit concerned I was going to fall one or twice.
What’s that saying? “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
What are your poorly prepared for the weather stories? Let me know!
