The parking lot was absolutely packed when I walked out to Five Rivers earlier with lots of families out walking about. 👪 Apparently with all government sponsored activities canceled, museums and libraries closed, there are a lot of bored children. 🚶 I guess a little exercise is a good thing. 

I think I made the right decision to stay home today

I think I made the right decision to stay home today and not go camping … ☁

  • The weather turned out to be quite cloudy and the breeze was cold
  • I have not felt very ambitious, it’s been a long week and I’m enjoying the solitude and time to think at Five Rivers
  • I’ve heard the stores have been crazy today and I didn’t want any part of that
  • Its just so much work to pack and unpack for one night camping
  • Its a lot of driving to go out to Madison County for just one night
  • There is a cost to a road trip and while gas is cheap, it ain’t free and there is a lot nicer weather coming up
