I've had several questions from the "menfolk" regarding the grrrrrls island getaway.
Thought I would answer to all.
Question - if this is a grrrrrls weekend, why are there photos of guys at the bonfire?
Answer - They were our island water taxi service and the hosts of the bonfire. While these men were not actually part of the grrrrrrls getaway, they were kind enough to taxi us from Mink Island to Little Fox Island and provide us with fire, beverages, and laughter.
Question - Why did grrrrrls weekend get to take place during prime summer weather (conducive to swimming and bonfires) while men's weekend took place while the ice was still floating around Mink Island?
Answer - ummmm, we planned our weekend when the weather was balmy and the river warm.
Question- Did the grrrrrls accomplish any projects on the island, as the men did, during their work weekend?
Answer - Why yes, yes we did.
When arriving at camp you will now notice the lovely party lights hanging above the slider off the front deck.
This project was no easy feat, and similar to projects done during the men's weekend, it involved TOOLS and ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES.
We acccomplished this project as a team.
I will be glad to share how we divided the work:
Project designers (choosing optimum place for lighting)- Lisa, Tammy, Jen
Party light technician (hanging of lights with clips to gutter, on ladder) - Lisa
Electrical technician (arranging of extension cord) - Tammy
Electrical adjustments (rearranging light bulbs as needed) - Jen
Blender control - Vanessa
Music/sound control - Karen
Safety operator (making sure lights were hung according to specifications)- Barb
Electrical wiring control (placing mat over cord) - Jane
Please understand that being the multi-taskers we are, we were able to accomplish this with beverage in hand at all times.

Yes. The lights were quite an accomplishment, considering some of us are too short to see the gutter from which we figured we'd hang them. Oh wait, that's just me. Anyway...it was a physical feat that took quite a bit of mulling and debate as to aesthetics and practicality. And nary a drop was spilled during the whole process.
And let's not forget another project: The painting and decoration of beverage utilization accessories, aka wine glasses. It took great effort to embellish them with phrases such as "Whatever" and flowers that look like the roadside weeds we all love. Some of us went through three or four paint removal operations to achieve optimum effect.
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment was the creation of The Perfect Margarita. Oh, scoff if you will. We toiled over limes for entire minutes. And the results were superb.
We predicted futures (tarot cards). Came up with new and creative uses for kerosene. Developed solutions for world peace (bzzzzzzzzz).
And the warm waters and sunshine were chosen over ice and snow because women are smarter.
I have to admit, we did come up with the perfect Margarita. wish I'd written down our final mix!
bzzzzzzzzz for world peace hahahahaha!
it just might work.
