WE ARE GOING CAMPING!
This weekend Trouble and hubby have planned an excellent trip and invited a great gaggle of people to go to Lake Isabella.

As I am not the most "natural" camper I am preparing by getting the basics and going from there. I'm usually more concerned with printed napkins and outfit choices. I am looking forward to listening to some rock and roll, playing cards, swimming in a mysterious lake, cowboy ghost towns and HOT DOGS!
