Today, the holidays have officially begun. Here at camp, the day wasn’t spent honoring veterans or in any other patriotic celebration. We did have quite a few activities to occupy our time and keep our bodies moving. The women organized a big softball game and seemed to enjoy the competition. Today’s lunch was reportedly a special treat! Women who have been here through past holiday seasons made sure I knew better than to miss the chicken wings! The cafeteria line and all of the tables were packed today so that was enough for me to believe that this was a “not to be missed meal.”
The afternoon was filled with “Name That Tune” and a Yahtzee tournament. To top off the holiday afternoon, I stood in line for at least 45 minutes for some freshly popped popcorn. My only response is, “Is this real life?”
I am so thankful for my sense of humor because while standing in the line for chicken wings and then again for popcorn, I laughed A LOT! I am not the only one here with a wonderful sense of humor. No matter what, life is good! That I know for sure.
