It has been a hot week here, as it has been across much of the country. Not that I am complaining at all. I have been quite comfortable in my air conditioned home. My husband and sons, however, have been at Boy Scout camp all week. What a week to to be at camp. I really can’t imagine being out in this heat all day and then sleeping in a tent at night. Plus, they also got rained on and had to go to the storm shelter (the showers) and stay there for over an hour because of severe weather. I honestly don’t think I would last one day at camp. But my boys seem to enjoy this stuff, and now they are both a few steps closer to Eagle Scout. My guys returned today, so I baked this Blueberry Buckle to welcome them back home.
