"Sampson"...............and Delilah?

This week-end we're off to our annual camping journey to Sampson State Park. Family and friends have made this a really fun time in our rolling homes.  It's generally a bit more relaxed than some and we've always lucked out in the weather department.  I think Mother Nature has traditionally felt sorry for the old folks and our gathering of the clan.  Speaking of old folks, we really wanted to take our golf cart so we could head to the next loop (where more family will be camping!) or down to the lake.  Unfortunately, their policy is no unregistered vehicles.  We could, however; take scooters....and those you register?  We could take bicycles.  We actually have a tandem bike....but that would probably begin a rowdy discussion of front or back and we've finally aged out of the top and bottom discussion and now we're firmly entrenched into the bigger dilemma of do we or not! (Was that too much information?) So, in the name of peace....maybe we'll think about regular bicycles or we could just...............WALK!!! I'm voting for just staying at the campsite in my gravity chair reading my Kindle.  If anyone really needs or wants to visit with me, they can come to site 69....if not, that's ok too!  Camping should be a quiet, non decision making event that facilitates little to no thinking. I plan to visit around the campfire by night and socialize with James Patterson and Nicholas Sparks by day. We share meal planning and prep so we really only have to think about one meal.  We're on the chart for Saturday breakfast.... nothing fancy but the big Daddy frying pan will cook up some nice Hatfield bacon, some "Sampson" (in honor of our park) homemade sausage and of course some scrambled EIEIO eggs....freshly laid by our in-house girls. A little OJ and some English muffins and our job's done for the duration.
With all successful events, a little planning goes a long way.  Jerome will be ready inside....Delilah will see to that.  Now if Samson prepares as well for.... Sampson.... and his abilities don't really involve.... hair.... We're good to go!!

And yes, the man Samson is spelled differently than the park, Sampson!  I checked!!
