Camping

Kelly: I got  my wish. All summer long, I had been talking about going camping; however, with weddings aplenty, day trips, and then the choas of arranging a move to a foreign country, we never got around to it. So, now, sitting on Matt's parents' air mattress in our empty room (with the exception of our computer and the tv we forgot to put in storage), I am roughing it...or close to it. Having few possessions has actually been freeing. We haven't spent time cleaning those possessions that are hopefully on a boat making their way to our new home. Our meals have been simple and inventive, while I'm learning how to combine random canned goods with veggies from our CSA. We've spent time with friends, taken many walks, studied German, and dabbled on the internet (e.g., the creation of this blog). I have been struggling with the "simplicity" of having one car in an area where walking avails only the opportunity to buy pizza, donuts, or saddles (gotta love northern Baltimore County!). I'm thinking that city living in Europe would be a nice change!
