CALLING ALL CAMPER GIRLS



Listen up, ladies!!
Friday, June 15. Rain or Shine and of course, everyone earns a new ring for their Camp Debbie necklace. Patch your tent, shake the dust off your sleeping bag and start saving crisp, new dollar bills for the stripper cop.....we need to get back to the woods!!!!

In addition to consumption of food and beverage we shall engage in the traditional merriment standards established by Camp Debbie's gone by by....

Moonlit Night, Down by the lake....
Late-night girls were trapped in the park, I melted the bottoms off my tennis shoes and a big, hairy man emerged from the dark looking for love in what he discovered were all the wrong places. Awakened by shotgun blasts at dawn, coincidentally, the opening day of duck hunting season.

Moonlight Night, In the park....
Scolded for noise violations by the friendly neighborhood sheriff who entered our circle and had a hard time convincing you camper girls that he wasn't a stripper hired by The Director. Why he didn't arrest one of us when Camper Ellen asked to see his gun is still a mystery. Who says cops don't have a sense of humor??

Moonlight Autumn Night, under the trees....
The usual consumption and merriment, pastoral by previous Camp Debbie standards until a mole burrowed up from below ground directly beneath Camper Deb's sleeping bag.

Darn Cold Moonlit Night, hmmm...where the heck were we....??
Last night of the camping season, deep into the month of October and cold as hell, good camper girls all believed her when The Director explained it's warmer to crawl into your sleeping bag naked but it made for a chilly sprint to the bathrooms in the middle of the night after all that beer and gave new meaning to the phrase "frost on the pumpkins".

Yet another ccccold and Moonlit night..........gathered round the fire circle at my Dad's empty farm house just before it sold. Sleeping bags covered the floors in every room and we were honored at the presence of a Prom Queen in full regalia. The next morning we all received our Camp Debbie honor and attendance necklaces.

I could go on and on.......there will be plenty of time for that around the next campfire. More info to come, let's start packing.......
