"It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars." - Garrison Keillor
Saw this quote on a social website and loved it.
When I was young, we used to listen to Garrison Keillor on the radio-his Lake Wobegone series-while we were eating dinner. Some of the best stories, and while they are still good if you read one of his books, I think there is a certain simple goodness to just listening.
Although, there can be other good things...

My Dad, the artist
My Dad called to tell me about the website he's working on-with his artwork and so on, he's super excited.
I checked it out, and it's very cool, so I thought I would share it--
John Patrick, the artist
The painting on the top right is titled "You smell nice"...take a peek, you might laugh.

Camp Awesome, 2009
So I am planning a camping adventure for a group in July, and sent an email out today that I thought I'd share. "like to hear it?...Here it goes..."
"....Also, I know some of you have never been camping before, so I thought I'd send along some ideas about movies or shows you can watch to get a good idea of what it'll be like.
1) Heavyweights: with Ben Stiller! This was a family favorite in my house growing up! Total must see.
"Attention campers. Lunch has been cancelled due to lack of hustle. Deal with it. "
Heavyweights, Best of
2) Parent Trap-The old one with Haily Mills, classic.
3) Camp Nowhere- with Christopher Lloyd; another Patrick family favorite
**honorable mention-Camp Rock: How adorable are those Jonas Brothers? lol
TV SHOWS:
1) Salute Your Shorts-Nickelodeon classic, and the theme song will forever stick with you once you've heard it
Camp Anawanna
2) Hey Dude-another Nickelodeon winner. Horse camp/resort set in Arizona...the stereotypes are....astounding
"watch out for those man eating jack-rabbits, and the killer cacti"
Hey Dude Theme song
Alright, I'm sure that's enough to keep you busy for a while..."
I know I may have left out quite a few other classics...one with John Candy in particular...but the ones listed above have particular links to my little childhood...and therefore to my heart.
Enjoy your day, Campers.
love love love.
