items embroidered for Alastair’s summer camp<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

MY-OH-MY!\u00c2\u00a0 This summer is just flying by.\u00c2\u00a0 Among other activities, I have been busy embroidering gear for our 7 yo grandson Alastair’s first sleepaway camp experience.\u00c2\u00a0 Each item in this huge pile carries the camp logo.<\/p>\n

I have to say again how much I love machine embroidery for so many reasons.\u00c2\u00a0 Saving money is just one. Participating in his camp preparations is another.<\/p>\n

\"Watitoh<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A long list was issued with required “logo-ed” screen printed items, such as a minimum of four $17.99 tees from the camp store.\u00c2\u00a0 After getting approval for the substitution of machine embroidery over printed, Alastair’s clever mama (my darling daughter) ordered blanks for all required gear and much more.\u00c2\u00a0 At a 24-hour, on-line flash sale, she purchased his things for less than $70 from the same manufacturer as items from the camp store.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Meanwhile, I got to work preparing the machine embroidery design. Fortunately, it is a simple logo.<\/p>\n

Because the laundry is sent out and then returned weekly, he needs a lot of clothes. So he’ll go off to camp with 18 tees, 1 golf shirt, 3 hoodies and 6 pairs of shorts.\u00c2\u00a0 And\u00c2\u00a0 there’s more, including 2 sets of sheets, 4 pillowcases, 2 blankets, a ball cap, tennis racquet cover and more, all embroidered.\u00c2\u00a0 He also goes with our constant prayers for his safety and happiness.<\/p>\n

We are so thrilled that Alastair’s summer adventure is at Camp Watitoh<\/a> in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Just escaping Florida’s scorching summer heat will be a treat for him.\u00c2\u00a0 But this camp has special meaning for his grandfather and me.<\/p>\n

Bob and I met there as counselors in the summer of 1967.\u00c2\u00a0 At this very waterfront, I was the water ski instructor and Bob taught sailing.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a magical time for us and we expect it will be the same for Alastair.\u00c2\u00a0 And I have to admit that I kind of wish we were going too!<\/p>\n

He was so excited to submit his “countdown” picture to the camp’s facebook page.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How quickly times flies.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems that just yesterday he was a baby.\u00c2\u00a0 Alastair is a big boy now–a big boy missing 3 front teeth.\u00c2\u00a0 I just hope Watitoh serves a lot of soft food.<\/p>\n
