IMAGINE THIS!
Dinner for five--in our camper--

To offer a classic understatement; Sue is not noted for her interest in practicing the culinary arts.

...like one wag noted recently when he called his wife and inquired what she was making for supper and she replied "Reservations."

That would be Sue.

In fact when we bought our first camper one of the conditions she imposed on our friends the Hatfields--the previous owners--was the camper be delivered to us with the oven inoperative.  Yes, inoperative as in not working.

Her reputation for avoiding working kitchens found its way to our very good Florida friends, Dick and Dee Weeks (on the right in the above photo).  Imagine Dick's hilarity when, after Sue invited them to dinner, she had to borrow one of their pans.

That's Dee's sister Eva waiting for her turn at the smorgasbord table

Sue also imagined her son Mike Brooks and family from Mt. Vernon being amazed if they ever see this picture.

"Mom cooking?  ...in a camper?  ...a real meal?"  ...Mike might be sputtering with wrinkles aplenty on his forehead.

So, there she is Mike.  ...as the five of us prepare to sit down to a pork and kraut dinner with lots of trimmings.

Regardless, this home-cooked dining episode is not likely to become routine.

As she was fussing with the dishes she quite casually inquired,  "Where are we going for lunch tomorrow?
