They're GONE!!!!

Well, my father and brother left this afternoon for Lake Maria to go camping, meaning that they are going to be gone for a over 24 hours, which is a miracle. My Dad however is already making it entertaining (to my mother and I) by forgeting the paid-for hot dog buns and grapes for the trip at the Cub Foods check-out, they completely forgot pillows and the not-so-important camera. It wasn't until yesterday, late yesterday when my father considered how he planned to cook the food, and boil water for his instant coffee. He also nearly forgot lifejackets for the rental canoe (my mom reminded him). And all the while my mom and myself have enjoyed the peace that comes with removing that sort of absent-mindedness from the house. Oh, and the tea I'm drinking now has no caffeine. Its also peach flavored.
