I am about 80 years old. Since about 1930, I have been a proud partner of what started out being known as Birchwood Lodge.
|
|
The footwear has been interesting over the years - Birkenstocks, clogs, Ugg boots, flip flops, high heeled shoes...you name it, they'll try it!
|
|
|
I grew in 1964. I really like my new section which today seats tables 1 - 4.
|
I've experienced the following many times... "Hysterical laughter will turn to hysterical sobbing JUST like that."
|
|
Imagine how many orange Osoha moons I have seen rising over the lake.
|
Horse and goggling used to be a fun way to divide up extra food on the table. No more!
|
|
I just love having all of the Osoha songs sung to me - floor stomping, not so much.
|
I've been in the middle of a great meal when the whole Camp has exited me for the basement - real nice!
|
|
I have one of the best views of Big Lake Muskie through my screens.
|
I'm always taken good care of by the cookees - not to mention the guys who give me an occasional mopping.
|
|
When weather is wet and windy, down go my flaps and everyone is welcome to join me for games, letter writing etc.
|
I'm pleased when I see old faces from my past returning to visit their daughters, nieces and granddaughters.
|
|
When the activity charts go up I feel like a decorated Christmas tree. Before that deadline, I'm an A&C nightmare.
|
Under my guard lots of people go from bows to arrows (slouches and hunches are not to be mentioned).
|
|
Singing "Announcements, announcements..." to Linda gets me all revved up!
|
Seems like just yesterday that campers were spinning those 45's in the lodge and dancing between 1st and 2nd soupies.
|
|
When the bus pulls out and everything is quiet, I am just as sad as you are, but the war canoes and rowboats keep me company.
|
I wondered what was happening when SeaHorse Cabin was moved - it made room for the new director's house and Foothill.
|
|
Oh...the laughs I have heard!
|
I feel so festive and proud to get dressed up for the special days like July 4, Christmas and of course, Final Banquet.
|
|
Once a summer I get treated to "Oh When the Saints Go Marching In."
|
Sometimes mice and raccoons keep me company during the long cold winter months - it's not pretty!
|
|
Smells have come and gone...dilly bread, liver, apple pie, prunes, green chili chicken.....
|
I always got a chuckle out of hearing "Ding ding, ding, ding, ding here comes my wagon" coming from Table 13.
|
|
I've hosted many a fine performance - stunt nights, song and stage performances, dance shows, and talent shows!
|
I knew it was Thursday when Nawahne showed up in rollers for lunch - after all, "It was her day off!"
|
|
Braves and toughs are long gone - as are the "Diet Table" and the No Desserts' list! Thank goodness.
|
Imagine how many birthday cakes have been lit and taken to the summer birthday girl.
