  1. I love this post, especially the quote at the end. Thank you for sharing and for being such an inspiration!

  2. I just HAVE to admire you ! I have never been the ‘camping’ type but when my husband was sent to Lake Junaluska, N. C. ( a Methodist camp ground) when he was a minister and “Town and Country” director for the conference, we took advantage of his way being paid and the two children and I went with him. We had housing on the grounds. We had to take at least two days, sometimes three to drive there and we took our ‘camping stove’ and canned items I had canned myself, cook our meals at a roadside table and watch for the bears! Our breakfast was delightful as we would cook bacon, pour out the grease, cook some eggs, toast bread in the same skillet and we had our butter and some jelly that I had made myself and we really did enjoy eating close to the woods. At noon we would heat some of my home canned vegetables, etc. and enjoy another meal by the roadside and mountains. That is the closet I have ever been to ‘camping’. Give me a nice clean bed “inside” to sleep! Big smile! I think it is just wonderful you can enjoy this freedom of camping and hiking with wonderful friends. keep on “keeping on,” Karen! It will keep you young.
    love you and admire you! Margaret

  6. I made a “boo boo” in my comment when I wrote that Lake Junaluska is a “camp ground” it is a Retreat Center with Hotels as well as other lodges. A Beautiful place and the first time I was there was in 1945 as a delegate from the Paducah District for a national youth conference.
    More love! margaret
