So, I suppose this is the next TVCH fad, taking Bob places with us on vacation. He does look so natural though there with the group. Bob, it might be kind of a tight squeeze for you (a little sponge humor), but maybe you'd like to go to San Francisco with me next week?

Awwwwwww, wish I was there. I can for sure recognize Sage, Lance, Resortgirl and Merlin in the above pictures. I see Sage in two pictures. Have fun, and we are waiting with bated breath for the Bunnycup goes to camp tales.

We are also going to need a daily fish count.

Oops, forgot to say, great job in titling and posting the pics, RG!

And now, if I am not mistaken, I believe we have a Delilah and Donut event in the near future. That ought to be a historic meeting.

I know you guys are having a great time together up there in MI! Could we have a group shot with names for those of us who haven't (yet!) had the pleasure of meeting all of you in person?

Also, please ask Butter is there was supposed to be a roster of folks to cover for Bunny! Nothing since Monday, and I am in serious withdrawal. Bunny's farewell note sounded like it was all worked out - did I misunderstand?

WOW! You guys are the best!
<if I can't be there in person, this is the next best thing>

RG, nice job on the pics!

Dawg, If Tess will drop me at an airport and find someone who will stow me in the overhead compartment, then I think I'd be able to join you on your trip to SF.
I may be used as a floatation device (as well as a pillow!).

Can't wait to see what I'll be doing the rest of the week!

...wonders is he was talking in sleep last night, or possibly said "Hi"...

I took some great pictures of Bob swimming with all the beach babes here... and then I accidently deleted them off of my camera! Poop! So we will have to do it again....Gail and Merlin took off for their first fishing expedition, the rest of the crew is in the lake... the southerners are complaining that it is soooooooo cold! We will toughen them up before this is over!
Tonight we will have our first meal together. Ham, Scalloped potatoes, some veggies and I think some BEER! Oh no! May be some good stories after tonight.

Just got a letter home from camp! I'll share it with y'all:

Dear Mom & Dad,

The camp counselors here are the best in the world! The head counselor, (Resortgirl) who incidentally looks like a real dreamboat, got up at the crack of dawn to make sure all the campers were safe and happy. She came to check on us about 9:30 this morning and caught Butter and Marm awake and drinking coffee in their jammies. Gail had been out practicing her fishing casting since 6 a.m., going for that authentic camping experience.

Merlin moseyed over to the girls' cabins about 9:30, had coffee and looked kinda sleepy. Shortly afterward Spygirl and Tess joined in. Gail made homemade waffles for all and Resortgirl got the boat ready for a tour of the lake. Several of the campers, including Gail, Spygirl, Merlin, UrGrace, and Schoolmarm joined Resortgirl and the camping staff (okay, her hubby and son) on the boat tour. We saw a mommy and baby loon, and then a bald eagle in a tree. On the way back the Eagle was in flight. We held on to Resortgirl's pup Sophie in case the eagle was hungry.

When we returned to the dock Lance, Sage, Butter and Tess were heading down to the beach. Merlin tested the water and thought it to be about 45 degrees (it was actually 74). With trepidation he got in, followed by Resortgirl, Butter, Grace, Spy and Marm. We all sat on the swimming raft for about an hour. As you might imagine, Bob was right in the middle of the fun!

Merlin and Gail took off for their first fishing expedition leaving Lance to take care of the cooking. (Oh MY!!) More to follow! Miss you lots!

Love,
Sparky

Letter to Mom and Dad!
Dear parents,
As your childrens camp counselers we must inform you of certain behaviors. Marm and Sage are having WAY too much fun. This is normally not allowed. We ARE willing to make an exception because as it turns out they are quite wonderful singers(which is very apparent at our most recent Karaoke Night). Spygirl, is a bit of an instigator... she is trying to get the group to sing "HIT me with your best shot"! Although the song is alright, their bawdy rendition of it is NOT! For the most part the group is behaving but during "rowdy" rock songs Lance is playing air guitar and singing along. This is NOT acceptable!! We must ask that you send letters to "you're" children asking them to behave. We do NOT have the staff to control this behavoir. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Camp counselers at Island View Resort (aka RG, Hubby and son)

<sending Camp Counselors wet noodles to beat the guests into submission> LOL...WHY am I NOT surprised??? Spy an instigator...ROFLMAO...NEVER!!

Hey, Kstme, you think we should have warned them about Spy????? Hahahahahhaha!

Dear camp counselars:

You have my permission to duct tape Lance to the wall and force him to quite singing. You may also threaten Marm with P.B.H. I think the threat of that should be enough. As for Sage, I think she should be okay....she deserves to get a bit wild, I think. If you notice Spy trying to talk the guys into a wet t-shirt contest, you may dunk her in the lake....after she gets pictures of course. I'm very curious to know how Butter is behaving though...has either she or Marm run off with a biker yet? It really wouldn't suprise me to see either of them driving down the street on the back of a harley, hair flying, choking on bugs, and having the time of their lives. You also did not let us know how the rest are doing...I'm pretty sure Merlin, Gracie, and Tess are up to something, and I'm not too sure about Gail and the sponge.

Please send my best and my hugs to all our happy campers.

A very concerned little sister,

Wargod.

Hey, I'm confused!

Am I there or am I here?
Should I send a letter to camp or am I supposed to send a letter home?
Where did I sleep last night?

The only thing I know is that I gained a pound and
now have to go post that in the weight loss thread! angry
I think it may be because I'm eating in 2 places at once,
and I'm guessing that I'm not eating too healthy in either of the places.

Bob, maybe you could send yourself a letter at camp and see if it arrives.

The campers got split up accidently last night. Marm, Lance, Sage, Grace and Spy headed to the game room with Rg and Tess, Butter, Merlin and Gail headed to the lake. Around 9:30 a severe thunderstorm hit and forced the latter group into a cabin (the camp counselers have NO idea what shennanigans these four were up to all night) and stranded the others in the game room where they insisted Rg listen to Karaoke until 4:30 am!!! Rg is recuperating today and the rest of the campers are down at the lake taking turns being rowed around by Bob!

Hah! That could be why the camp counselors didn't notice the others getting a little wild!

Maybe all the rowing will be good for Bob's little skinny arms!

<wargod admits to missing the campers just a little bit...sigh>

War, I think they are missing you too! :)

This is from Spy:

Even though the group was split last night, the cabin dwellers were still able to hear us singing...now I'm not positive, but I think the real winner of the Karaoke contest was Rg's rendition of Witchy Woman. Merlin admitted today that he would have paid admission to see that one again .

In addition to the Karaoke singing, I was very worried about the weather last night -- seeing that I am deathly afraid of tornados. Low and behold, it turns out that there was a tornado warning for us last night about 9:45pm -- unbeknownst to me. I believe that was right about the time that Lance began his air guitar performance so we were all a bit distracted.

This is from Grace:

Juju, my brother's do not drive Harley's...they drive Gold Wings which are sooooooooo much better. Spy and I are the biker chicks of the group


From all:

We received a call from Sponge Bob today. Now we're not entirely positive if he was calling from home or whether he had stolen Tess' cell phone and was calling from Cabin 3. Either way, he was pleasant to talk to and was calling to ask whether "he" was having fun.


P.S. We are all hoarse from singing last night...and Resort said to make sure that we did not misspell the word hoarse or else we would get moderated for our post.

Wargod

Monday, August 12, 2002 - 03:02 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Gold wings are better than Harleys????????????? Hmmm, wonder if RG will duct tape Gracie up on that wall with Lance for me! Ain't nothing quite like the sound of a harley, or better yet, a group of harley's roaring down the street at 2 am!

Ah well, I'm about to depart on my road trip...15 minutes there, 15 minutes back!
