#85 -- J.Low 2011, year 8
One of my bucket list items is to work at Juliette Low Camp for 10 years. This summer I completed my 8th year at JLOW and it was rather amazing.
Happiness Is…
Living in the Outpost, per usual
First night wind storms
Weather radios
Gold T-shirt day
Polar bear lunches
Fried Oats
Finding Annie in my trunk
Fake poop (that I may have lost at the Conners… I sure hope not)
Personalized tongs
Collecting black walnuts
The dreaded toolbox- heaven forbid someone should misplace anything
Walnut smashing
Maggot smashing
Cherry simmering
Archery- janky style
Amazing compound bows
“No Marsha that’s a cock feather.”
“A what?!?”
“A cock feather, it shows where to load it.”
Take the shovel
Face painted, Maggie. “Meow!”
New campers
NDR NOS
Stacy in the pool
Spending hours per day in the pool
Bleach dye, screw being granola
Dirty Bottom Boys
AAA’s future husband
White pillow cases, but hey we tried!
Pineapple beans
Running two whole camp cookouts
Being hosed down by firemen- the water was so cold!
Scrabble the baby bird
Staying with the Conners
Late night movies in the basement
Gatorade drunkenness
Dicecapades and Bang
Chubby bunny
Two successful Unit talent shows/skits
The Unit party
Whipping my hair back and forth
Lightening striking in camp, the shaking of tents, and my hair standing on end
Deja-poo, WTF?
Glow stick spelling
Myriad of new and unusual bugs
FROGS!
Being attacked by a rogue turkey
Potato products
Kyle and Chris attempting to learn Edelweiss
Wild lizards
Never Have I Ever
Being a bacon fairy
Stick bugs and screaming like a little girl
Saving a few staff members from a terrible dinner
Squishing pee out of the 6 inch foam mattress
Joy riding to the OP for a breakfast cookout
Surviving the stagnant water, hair-filled, poo-smelling tunnel of doom
Projectile puke—at least her distance was impressive
Purging the craft box
Harry Potter 7, the end of an era
More pool time- teaching canoeing
Tree swinging- even if the pictures are awful
Mags looking like a beached whale during her mid-morning nap
The classics
AAA’s love of pancake buddies and delirious crying
Making fun of her for it
A new Unit Staff
Another year of endless memories
