The Fourth of July

Hi Friends,
Still alive, I am currently camping on Lake Michigan with my 23 year old son and future daughter in-law her three children a 4 year old and 18 month old twins. She is now 5 months pregnant. If you have been with me throughout this journey than you already know the kids are the reason I went on the traveling portion of my Journey. They (both son and daughter in law) do not have the patience I always had for the kids and the things kids do, like picking up rocks and sticking them in their mouths it's just something kids do. Instead of redirecting them they immediately get a spanking and a time out. It has made for some miserable camping, so I am not staying with them I am going to go back to Kalamazoo for a minute then up to Big Rapids to help my daughter with her financial aid for college. I also plan on taking a canoe trip even if I have to go alone. I think I need some more alone time. While in Kansas I succeeded in pissing off a dear friend. Well sorry this is so short and brief I new that some of you would worry not having heard from me. So until the next time Happy 4th of July and safe vacationing.
