Of course there was food at the end, and that eaten outside on the terrace, of course. Leftovers. ALL the leftovers. A very strange meal it was, so strange I cannot remember it anymore, but it was some of this and some of that and a little of whatever. We shared, that was the big thing. It is so hard to say good bye and to end our special adventure.
Werner was called on the stage that last night, too - the (in)famous chicken-laying-an-egg imitation which is of course inimitable. Hunter just needs a bit more practice - I know he can do it, too!
And a few last pictures. When they arrived, Hannah was the first to notice the pillows that I'd made for them, but it took all this time to get a picture! They did sleep with them most nights but unfortunately, the pillow itself had to be left behind - not enough room in the suitcases! But the cover - that went along!
Then we had to pack and clean and strip the beds and water the plants and collect it all into the suitcases!! What a lot of things to take on the overnight train to Paris. Not an easy task but it was done pretty well. And off to Paris and - perhaps just as important - meeting up with moms and dads.
Two weeks later up in the bedroom - after the Paris adventure - I found one pair of socks, one holey t-shirt, a number of snack wrappers and more than a few bands for the braces.
The "guest" room has already seen another guest - Amina was here for a week - but still it is a bit, well, quiet around here.
We hope you keep a suitcase full of memories of Camp MeeMaw (and Werner) 2010 and go through your memories now and again and enjoy it all once more.
