Lists and more lists...

Whew! I've been busy all afternoon making lists...

...a to-do list for this week. So many things I want to get done before David and Holly arrive on Friday night. Mark is going out to scout camp on Thursday morning, so I only have 3 days for the projects that we want to do together.
...a list of camping gear for us to take to Ensign Ranch when we camp with you and the Carlsons
...a list of camping gear for us to take on our backpack trip to Opal Creek with the Palshikar grandkids
...a menu for both campouts
...a shopping list for both campouts
...a very specific list of foods and equipment to go in the cooler, the kitchen food box, the kitchen equipment box, and the "miscellaneous" category for the Ensign Ranch campout.

By the way, did I tell you about our new toy?


Introducing...Kathy's Kamp Kitchen!

Isn't it dandy? It folds up into a package a little larger than a briefcase. I love all the surface area for food prep, and it has a cupboard that zips to keep the critters out. We tried it with our canoe camping at Sparks Lake, and it was SO nice. It's and REI design, and they thought of so many nice features for it.

Anyway, with Mark leaving on Thursday, and only a half-day turnaround between the two different camping outings, plus new family coming into the house, I knew I had to be really organized ahead of time. Now that my lists are all made, I feel like I can relax and just do what needs to be done, rather than worrying that I'm forgetting something.

See you soon!
