I have many fond memories of camping as a child, and a few appalling ones from the past few years.
Defeat and Redemption.
It’s been a while since I have posted. I would like to blame it on the fact that I have a “new” baby, who has now decided she can army crawl all over the house, or because I have been working a lot, or even because life is crazy and we had a full […]
