ah, sweet rain.

i love the rain.

this morning, i woke up to thunder. i loved that even more.

it brought back memories of camp. and more specifically of the island. of falling asleep and waking up to the sound of rain on the tin roof and thunder rolling across the lake. of getting up in the morning drizzle and starting your breakfast fire. of not caring how dirty you were because everyone else was just as dirty. of jumping in the lake anyway to bathe because you had to do it. i could almost smell the suave daily clarifying shampoo. and i remembered how it seemed like every wednesday that we went to mainland to use the beach, it rained. or it was cold. and we swam anyway. of how you you watched the campers band together with this group of 40 because they walked a week alongside you and no one but them knew what that was like.

i woke up this morning in a very good mood.

oh, and one thing I did NOT miss the last summer was going back to mainland on Wednesday!!!!! praise the Lord that Jason and I had a like mind on this issue. and because we got rid of that, we got to bring back your EGG ROLLS! Making the egg rolls is probably one of my favorite memories ever.
