Oh day 11 (the game of catch-up forever continues...I must be kicked in the bud)...anywho, last night we (the Bertelson offspring bunch) celebrated our 4th of July with a campfire and s'mores. The actual 4th was rainy and thunderstormy (which I enjoyed severely; however, it proved incompatible with fireworks and campfires) so we decided last night was the best fit for such an occasion. This was also the last night my beloved brother and sister-in-law would be with us, so we wanted to make it count. So here we were, my crazy bunch called family, surrounding the campfire, sharing stories and burning our marshmallows. By the end of the fire time, most of us had chocolate and marshmallow smears on our faces, graham cracker crumbs adorning our chests, and about a half-dozen more mosquito bites to add to our collection. So on this day 11 I am dually thankful for campfires and family time...both are unique, exciting, strange, and most of all, things in my life which I love dearly (especially the latter).
