I received a picture today of my husband camping. Alone. In our driveway. Underneath the picture he had captioned “Happy Camper”.
While my husband was away at a three day men’s retreat last weekend I may have mentioned that I was ready to run away with him and go camping. He’s always up for a camping trip whether it’s in the mountains, at the beach, Disney is definitely a favorite…or yes, in the driveway. Seriously. Of course we camp in a fifth wheel with three slideouts and if we are really roughing it we camp in *gasp* a hard side pop up. Regardless, there is a minimum queen size bed and flushing commode. Mandatory. We also always have a working stove and a grill. No one will be starving on a camping trip with this family, it’s our civic duty to make sure the bears are happy if they choose you as their dinner companion.
When I brought tonight’s creation out and asked for a name we came up with several but my husband kept saying “no, it’s a campfire pocket”. But we’re not camping. “It’s still a campfire pocket”. He’s in the mood to camp, I am a willing volunteer, and these would be just as easy at the campground as they are in the driveway. Campfire pockets it is.
