Its the end of summer, the end of September & time for The Primitive Manless Settlement! Women in the Woods! Women with Guns! Women armed with plungers & rolls of TP! Women with glowing balls playing bocce after dark! We painted, we laughed, we cooked, we feasted, WE JUST PLAIN HAD FUN FUN FUN!
Peeps Camp
First let’s make one thing clear – we women don’t dislike men, we just want to have a hen party once in awhile. Peep & company were about (his wife let him come) but they were over by the Tavern & well away from the Hens Doings.
Hen Party
Most of the ladies were camped primitive over around Struth Circle & generally were found under Rita’s kitchen fly. That’s also were the OVPMS Opening Ceremony & Fantastic Egg Extravaganza with Bacon & Biscuits Breakfast was held. Hens believe in starting the party early & staying to party late.
My Camp
I was a bit hard pressed to get packed this year (something about having more painting to do than time to do it) so I camped in Da Mule on the far side of Ft. Hooter with a couple of other folks with modern tents. By the way, the more I camp in Da Mule the more I like it. Not that I’m going to stop camping in canvas mind you.
Painting Party
Lest it be thought that this is all about Wild Out of Control Women drinking Buckets & sloshing down gallons of wine, I’m here to relate that this is a civilized & genteel gathering of the finest sort. Friday the Ladies engaged in the pastime of painting, admittedly painting a wine bottle with a wine glass & grapes, but still art is art.
Holly the Artist
Here is Holly with her paint in cup & her wine in her mug.
Janice & Rita
Janice & Rita the Artists with out par. (OK, so its a 3 par course.) But see even the Bad Kids have a Good Side.
Painting with Bucket
Well now, it is a OVPMS so there must be a bucket . . .
Let the Games Begin
There were also games. This one involves a plunger, a roll of toilet paper & a substantial amount of laughter. The idea is to pass the TP from one lady to the next without using the hands. That’s were the plunger comes in. Its a game of skill, although laughing is inevitable & interferes with the skill part.
The Ladies of OVPMS with Event Charms
There was both an event medallion & a small event charm.
Saturday Evening Campfire
Carol & Lynn got the Saturday evening campfire going. There was wine, a bucket & many many songs sung by many many ladies. Its a very talented Flock of Hens.
Another Part of the Circle
Look close & there’s Rita the Bad Kid directing Lynn & Carol the Fire Crew. It was just cool enough that the fire was nice but not really needed for warmth. A glorious golden weekend of fun.
The OVPMS Camp Fire
Unfortunately all goo things must come to an end. So until next year . . .
