Tidbits

Camping at the island is becoming more familiar.  These people who are there are my brother's friends.  It's a tight knit group.  It's not that they don't make you feel welcome, but for shy people it can be hard to get in the groove of a group.
This year there were no extra people at our campsite.  Amazing how we only collected one bag of trash.  Usually there is one bag for beer cans alone.  So our site was rather quiet.  It was kind of nice.  Pat pointed out that he didn't set up his tent right next to ours this year.  The year the littles actually were quiet at bedtime and in the morning.
One of Pat's friends, Hugh, kept coming around and chatting.  He hit a chord with Mom and made her brain jump.  We were talking about all kinds of things and she was keeping up and not repeating herself.  Amazing   He was very very funny and smart.  The kinds of things we like in men.  That was definitely a bonus and I'm not sure we would have gotten it if we had had our usual crowd.
Now I was home for a bit Saturday.  And something felt a little off but I couldn't put my finger on it.  When we got home Sunday something more seemed a little off but I couldn't put my finger on it.  One of the things was a computer I had turned off was on. But nothing seemed missing so I chalked it up to puter gremlins.  Nope.
Today we walked the dog down to Mom and when we got home the neighbor kids were in the office playing on the computer.  They just made themselves at home, coming in through the doggie door.  I ended up doing a history search on the computer and sure enough they had been in the house while we were camping.  That explained that.
They have been given notice to not come in our house if we are not home.  And I passworded my computer.
All in all a nice break in the routine.  And tomorrow we get back to it.
