Fish On!

Dane and I made it through a soggy night of camping. We went to town, Bourbonnais, for gas and coffee-yeah that have a Starbucks! We couldn't make coffee or breakfast because it  poured last night for three hours and all if our wood was soggy. We only brought food to make over a fire. Tonight we ate peanut butter and jelly.

Tonight were in a cute, bare bones cabin. A terrible storm was predicted and we didn't want to be caught in a tent. We were lucky enough that the other campground had one of two, cabins available.  So we moved. It's dry, we have 6 beds, a table for two, electricity and ceiling fan. Were so happy we did. We've been playing cards and pass the pigs all night. 

Small world weirdness. We were getting coffee this morning and a college aged girl came up to us and asked if we were part of Camp Kesem last year. Dane then recognized her as one of the counselors. How odd! Were so far away from Augustana where it was out of, but Bourbonnais is her hometown. She asked if he was coming back and he said maybe, although  we both knew he wasn't. It worked for him last year, but he just doesn't want to go back. I think last year was hard on us all, and it was supportive, although sad in some cases. This year he sees me back to normal, or close to it!

Today we fished for four hours-I caught three fish, one a good sized small mouth bass. Dane didn't catch any, he changed many lures. I only used worms. It was fun and standing in the Rock Creek was very refreshing.

Time for bed in our dry cabin! What does tomorrow's adventure bring?
