Fishmomma I did a lot of camping back in the days of Girl Scouts, as was the leader for 1 year and the troop loved to camp. Had several big tents, so everyone fit. Sometimes miss camping, but so many places near me are expensive now.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364831) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Sep

Time for another amusing sign. This one was in the Wyalkatchem Museum in Western Australia. One of the staff there must have a good sense of humour as there were a few funny signs around the place. Obviously, they’re not too...

Well, we’re home now, but on our way back, we, of course, had to stop at Buc-ee’s again, and the kids got a toy while I got the beaver nuggets. Who wants to try the beaver nuggets? There was an unfortunate happening while we...
