I used to say, "If we are camping, it will be raining." But I'm changing that to, "If we are camping, we will be eating." Camping is an incredibly social activity and what better way to celebrate times spent with camping friends, than over a good plate of food!
Becky, Murphy, Sophie and I are camping this weekend at Jordan Lake State Rec Area near Pittsboro. Jennifer Gillis and I are throwing this little do-da for folks who have T@Bs, T@Gs, and T@DAs that live in and around the Triangle. We picked Jordan Lake because of its central location.
Becky and I actually came a day early and spent the night with long-time camping buddies Bob and Susan who live in Pittsboro. We all went out to supper Wednesday night at a cool deli downtown called The Mod. Jennifer and Chuck, Colleen and David, and Sue and Rich joined us on the patio for supper.

Yesterday morning, we went back downtown to have breakfast at the Small B & B Cafe. Those of you who know me well, know that I do not eat pancakes. There is one exception however and that would be the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes at the Small. Sue and Rich joined us once again.
After breakfast, everyone went back home to pack up for the 15 minute trip from Pittsboro to the campground. Our Jordan Lake Jaunt actually starts today, but several of us decided to add another day and arrive on Thursday.
Because we normally don't cook on a Travel Day, that meant we needed to find another great place to eat supper. That place was the Carolina Brewery and Grill. Once again we gathered on the patio to dine. Now you might be wondering why we are always eating outside. It's simple: Murphy and Sophie. In fact, yesterday was Murphy's 14th birthday! I have had my doubts over the last 12 months that she would make it to number 14, but she's here and doing well.
