The other day I got to thinking "Where would I rather be, if I wasn't here?"
I was transported to a state park in Pennsylvania, probably Clear Creek. Yesterday's weather - a bit chilly, damp - kept pulling me back to memories of camping. These were memories captured by all five senses. From the smell of the fires and the wet leaves, to the chill in the air, seeing one's breath, the specific touch of the plastic mattresses on the bunk beds when you reached out from your sleeping bag, the taste of water from a bota bag, that great taste of "gorp" (peanuts, M&Ms, and raisins) . . .
It makes me nostalgic, longing.
And thankful for those amazing experiences, so early in life, that I can now carry with me to call back on when needed.

I too was brought back to this place…just this morning while eating pancakes–thick pancakes with real maple syrup from Ontario. No Bisquick in these though…but with the rain falling outside and the air smelling of decaying leaf litter, I could not help but be brought back to those days. Dad would make what seemed to be dozens of perfectly shaped tasty beige morsels. We would slather on the Aunt Jemima's and wash the goodness down with powdered hot cocoa or orange juice and a few powdered sugar donuts to boot. And all the while, the rain would fall onto the tarpitecture hung taught above the moss-covered picnic table to keep us dry, and content to match our full bellies.
