GETTING TO THE END

Getting to the end. Don't want to see it come. Don't want to have to do it. I'm talking about the end of the camping season. Around the middle of October the park shuts the water off and that pretty much ends the camping season for six months. That is always a sad time because you have to say goodbye to friends who are scattered all over and you won't see them until next April.
This weekend is the Halloween weekend when people decorate their campers and the children get to go trick-or-treating thru the park. This year the park is doing something different and that is having a candy drop from an airplane. They have over 10,000 pieces of candy that will be dropped onto the baseball field and the children will be let loose to gather as much as they can. Of course the children will be kept away from the field until after the candy is dropped. Thank God. They plan on having two drops. Also planned for the day are games, food and a wagon ride through the haunted woods followed by a dance for young and old. Sounds like a fun day.
I had some good news this weekend and that is that John and Shirley, good friends of mine, have gotten engaged to be married. I'm very happy for them.
I am looking for a fun weekend next week and that weekend brings one week closer to the end of the camping season.
