And The day Sped By

They had all decided the easier the better when it came to eats, so lunchmeat was what they got. The old man at the store said the delivery truck had just left and the lunchmeats and cheeses were about as fresh as it gets so that made the sandwich idea sound very appealing. They picked up a bag of chips, piminto cheese spread for Judy, and a couple cans of mixed fruit as well. That, they all agreed, was a dandy spread for a camp lunch. Surprised to find it in an old store, Doris grabbed a jar of Nestea and a bag of sugar. Kim added that Doris made tea exactly like her mom made it years ago; strong and sweet! They almost forgot about supper fixins'. Shauna suggested spaghetti . The old man was stocked up with all the ingredients needed except the spaghetti so they bought Inn Maid noodles instead. They told the old man goodbye, thanks, have a nice day and headed back to the cabin with food in tow. Hopefully, they would go into the right cabin this time! Shauna was curious how their key had fit in the "other cabin's" door lock. Kim thought that maybe the other door hadn't been locked at all and that when Judy "unlocked" it, it just felt as if she had turned then key and unlocked it (she was grasping for an explanation!)Doris wasn't the least bit concerned about the whole wrong cabin, door mat, geranium ordeal. She just wanted lunch, (complete with her tea!) and to get on with the daily activities. Shauna was all for that. She had brought a few supplies to let the other three make a candle or two. It was clouding up a bit anyway so candle making would keep them all busy for a while and maybe by then it would be sunny again.
As they ate their sandwiches, Ranger Rick came to the door with news of the prisoner. Apparently, that very morning, he had stowed away on the Oscar Mayer truck as the man made his delivery and got caught when he jumped off in the next town. They all exhaled a breath of relief, thanked Rick for stopping by and finished their lunches while discussing what brave deeds they would have done had they come across the escapee. The idea of a midnight canoe trip came up again and Judy thought that it was probably going to rain and they had better stay in tonight but the rest just grinned and gave each other a group "high-five".
They enjoyed the candle making and laughed while they hit all the topics of the camp happenings that they had experienced so far. It had turned out to be an exciting week so far and the midnight canoe trip was just 10 hours away!!!!...............
