Day 122: FRANK!!!

Let me start by explaining a little bit about Frank. First of all, Frank isn’t a person. It’s an expression, a state of mind, an attitude.

FRANK is also a camping trip that involves five families and nearly twenty years of sharing a few days together in the Oregon woods. This year we number (approximately) 23 – though we’ve seen higher numbers when the extended family members and friends show up.

We sing songs, tell jokes (mostly Irish), cook like mad, toast our accomplishments, forget about the effects of too much sun, share our concerns, and watch our children grow.

This year, my contribution to dinner is dessert (go figure). I prepared three pies – a Kickass Apple Pie, a Raspberry Peach Pie and a Brownie Pie (no I didn’t make them at camp – but I’m willing to try sometime!). If I can find a wireless network, I will send a photo or two of the pies (and team FRANK). If that doesn’t work, I’ll send them later.

Here’s to friendship and a Happy Weekend!
