knobsulator 69/365

Perhaps an odd photo to honor my husband's birthday... in my defense there were also five Indian entrees, four types of naan, three extras around the table, and too many candles on an ice cream cake for one guy to blow out.

 

The connection is that this repurposed insulator is from the camp where he worked the summer we met, which was inconveniently more than six hours from my home that summer. Part of his job was to be available to guests, so he had downtime to paint pictures and write poems for me. We had a very creative snail mail correspondence.

 

The cabins have not changed much in the sixteen years since that summer (nor the decades prior). The biggest change is the now (unfortunate) "campy" uniform color scheme, which isn't quite their original charming mismatched pastel aesthetic... but it's still fun to walk through and reminisce.
