Our Anniversary

Last weekend marked 3 years of marriage for Ken and I. It was March 27th 2006 that we ran off to Vegas and got married. It was May 13th, on our 'wedding day' that we announced we were already married! People still talk about that one and so do we. We wouldn't have done it any other way!

To celebrate we headed to Camp Kengi for the first camping trip of the year. Ken was under the weather but was a trooper anyways! We visited with our neighbors while we were there and they told us how to make firestarters. Take a little drier lint, an egg carton and some was and put it together. I melted the wax with some Citronella for added bug control. Put the lint in the egg carton, melt and pour. Viola! firestarters. I will let you know how well they work when we get a chance to use them!
We also gathered loads of oysters from the attached beach. After gobbling up all the shellfish yumminess I took all the shells and smashed and mashed them as best I could so I could give them to the chicks. 100% fresh, 100% natural calcium supplement and a great way to reduce and reuse something that most people would waste. We also use the shells for traction on our steep driveway into and out of Camp Kengi. Oyter shells are a very handy dandy thing!
