Home Sweet Camper

I told you I'd post some pictures of the camper

 we are living in while the house is being restored

from our fire.

It is technically(I have been informed)

a 5th wheel.

It belongs to my sis, Judy and her husband.

It is for sale.

They stay in it in FL in the winter

but have bought a house so it is up for grabs.

If you are in the market...I can hook you up

but only when I am out of it.

So take a peek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a pretty sweet deal.

It's right outside the house.

We are able to shower in the downstairs bath

so that cuts down on our "gray"water".

I do a little cooking and I am able to use our grill, of course.

You know the old adage

"if the camper's rocking..."

well, in our case it is because

it's a major thunderstorm and

we may be in the basement.

It has been raining practically daily

since we moved in.

The rain on the tin is soothing.

The wind, not as much.

So there's the tour.

Drop in

or like most days, blow in.

You can help do insurance logs.

I have coffee and satellite.

You know, the necessities.

 

 

 



My camper

I am finally getting around to posting pictures

of my little camper.

I named her Lisa Patricia Layton.

She is a 1964 Layton.

The top 2 names in 1964 were Lisa and Patricia,

hence her name.

She is never leaving the yard. 

She is just a playhouse of sorts

for my own enjoyment.

She is pretty sweet for $150.
I got a good deal.

I did the bare minimum to her.

A little paint and a lot of scrubbing.

I wanted to retain her "vintage bones".

The original ticking mattress was super cute, 

but too mousey to save.

I have a twin air mattress there  now.

As soon as someone in the family

is pitching a double mattress, 

I am begging for their castoff.

 

The bread box was in it.

I think it is cute.

I also love the turquoise wheel well.

 

 The turquoise thing above the curtains is a cot 

made out of canvas that rolls across and hooks 

for a twin bed.

The table becomes a bed too.

Aubrie made me some origami cats to decorate with.

Annie made the curtains out of some fabric I bought.

Everything else  I already had in tubs in storage.

I told you, I am a collector.

When I closed my shop I kept some things I still loved.

Thank God for barns.

The north side of the back yard looks like this.

 The little table is a checkers table 

from the front of a store

where old men used to play.

It has the name Jane scratched in it.

I knew it had to be mine.

 

 Fire pit and seating .

 

The kids have a sand pile on the side of the playhouse

where the little chairs are .

 I want it to eventually feel like a campground.

I have to under plant some yews.

We have some tree trimming to do first.

Too much rain and farming seem to interfere.

Dern bills, I guess farming and baling

will have to take precedence

over my landscaping plans.

 I will post the playhouse soon.

Uploading pictures takes sooo long.

I have a busy weekend and an adventure on 

Sunday to Tuesday.

I am uber excited about it!

Have a great weekend.

Camp Town Lady

 I promised pictures.

I replaced my camera tonight

and she is charging.

This picture is from my phone today.

She is pretty sweet.

She is a 1964 Layton.

I googled top names in 1964.

She is named Lisa Patricia Layton.

I am setting off a bug bomb 

first thing in the morning.

I don't want any surprises 

when I am cleaning her.

I am thinking she is getting

a new coat of pink paint.

She needs to match her sister.

  

You can see I have a lot of 

planting and rock moving to do also.

I have a busy week

keeping grandkids a couple of days,

helping a friend with a wedding,

re-doing a room 

with Annie for a client,

and hosting

an anniversary party on Sunday,

so I don't expect much progress 

to be made on either of these girls.

But next week 

it's on like Donkey Kong.

I need a name for the playhouse.

Any suggestions??

I got nothing.

Pinky Tuscadero?  No.

Remember her?

She annoyed me.

Ponder it, and get back to me.

I am off to practice my Kum bay ya

so I am ready for the campfire

when Lisa Pat is finished.
