"DP" and Me

DP and I became a "grandfamily" about three years ago. We are learning all about readjustment: me as a parent--again, him as part of a "new" family. Each day we find our little blessing in the storm.

Finally unpacked camp gear

We finally got around to unpacking his camping gear a couple of nights ago. There were damp jeans and shirts from swimming fully clothed (huh?) and about 60% of unpacked clothes including socks and underwear and bedding.
- So, what did you sleep on or under? (Shudder to guess.) The socks and underwear were mostly unpacked.  He said the mattress was clean, so he didn't need the sheets. (Huh?)
- So, did you shower?
- Yes. (The soap had been used, so I confirmed.)
- Every day?
- YES!
- Did you brush your hair and brush your teeth and use plenty of deoderant?
- Geez, Nana! Of course I did. (Toothpaste and deodorant looked squeezed and used, so I confirmed.) We were in the water most of the time, Nana, so...
- So, what does that mean? "So." You washed in the lake? You slept in wet clothes to avoid the shower? What?? What did you use for underwear?
- Don't worry, Nana, I was okay. Everything was okay! 

He went straight to the shower as soon as we got home.

 A camping we will go, a camping we will go. 
We're living lean, no need to clean.
A camping we will go.
