2024-08-31 “Time With Friends” by Emma

Turns out, camping ain’t about doing without ‘lectricty or sleeping on the ground. It’s ‘bout being with friends and not having anything else to do.

Anyway, there is ‘lectricy at all the campsites, an’ some people have campers an’ you know what they are. But I’ll jus’ say they sure beat our 1880 shack ‘cept they’re smaller.

We’re camping in tents, so we have to walk to a bathroom building a ways off. There’s plenty of folks around on account this is so near a town. It not like being in the wilderness, so you can’t jus’ go squat off somewhere.

Well, today was a lot of fun. It was cloudy an’ not too hot compared to the Mississippi delta, but Hannah wanted to go to the beach and wear our bikinis. She tol’ about that in her post, and I didn’t much see why, but it was fun. Merritt and Devon even got in the lake and swam some, but me and Hannah just laid on the towel an’ watched. 

She’s comin’ to be like a sister to me. I never had a sister, but I had some girl cousins and they always seemed lucky to have each other. I sort of get the feeling why.

Since all of us are in this picture, I’m gonna make it so we all post together. It’s called collaborating, an’ most o’ you know that.

I tol’ Merritt I’d say some things different if I left him off the post, and he ‘mmediately wanted know what. I said it was girl stuff and he didn’t need to know.

I guess you can guess some of what I’d ‘ave said. I’ll pro’lly make a post tomorrow with some of it in it.

Now, I’ll tell you something for nothing! I’m sure glad there was a Halmart close enough Merritt and Devon could go get us air mattresses. The ground was worse than my straw mattress back in 1880!

Well, that’s about all for tonight. Thanks for reading all my stories!
