Now Coleman has made propane lanterns for years and years. They were probably making them before I was born (no comments from the peanut gallery). And for as long as I can remember the mantles were all the same - round with string at the top and they were always readily available at wherever you could get the stoves and lanterns, well until now. Now it seems that there are different ones - acordian type ones with no strings. And you can't find the other kind. This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts! Companies stop selling the things that you need for the products they used to sell, forcing you to buy the newest model and rendering the one that you have had for years, useless! It is just by the grace of God that I found an old package of mantles in a box in the garage but once they are gone, they are gone. So now that I sound just like my parents......
Today, we started to get the camping gear together and figure out what we can fit into the camper and what will go in the car and we firmed up the grocery list. Chris went out to the Appalacian trail for a night of camping so we hung out and had pizza and talked about how much we are looking forward to Creation Fest. We checked out the schedule on the web site and we were informed by Matt that we will be leaving at 7am on Wednesday.....
