As summer winds down and the temperatures start to cool, I’m excited for seasonal veggies to make a comeback! And while, toward the end of the week, you’ll see favorite foods like butternut squash and apples, most of the meals will be centered around end-of-the-year summer seasonal veggies, such as zucchini, tomatoes, and basil.

It’s been over a year since we last camped. For one reason or another, whether it was due to time or weather, our best-laid plans were constantly thwarted. This time, we followed through no matter what lay in our path. We are enjoying the Riverwalk RV Park in Jonesville, which boasts some nice perimeter sites,…
