Since I have decided on primary (and secondary) colors for the trailer, I sure am having an easier time of shopping! Here are some things I got recently for 'Ginger'.

Isn't this the cutest chicken you have ever seen? Just look at the eye shadow and eye lashes!


And I couldn't pass up these perfect wine glasses!


Since I'm learning how to cook, this vintage apron seemed appropriate too :-)


I found this small afghan and couldn't pass it up!

During the camping trip with Sisters On The Fly in October 2011, a bunch of the ladies went "junking" on Saturday, i.e. they searched the town for vintage treasures for their trailers. (That seemed strange to me since we were camping!) My goodness, I couldn't believe the stuff they found. Grace gave me a small whitewashed storage box thing that she found for my trailer. I was going to hang it 'as is'. Ohhhh Noooooooo. That isn't acceptable with Grace. She told me that I needed to fix it up. *sigh* I did not take a before photo. However, here is an after photo.


The Primarily Me comes from me deciding to decorate my trailer in primary and secondary colors. (I may even add other bright colors!) My sweet neighbor, Jo, was a huge instigator in the name and the decorating of the box. She is a retired art and shop instructor at Spokane Falls Community College and has been 'junking' for decades! Thank you Jo!!

Here is Primarily Me, aka Ginger! We were 'yard camping'! The dogs thought they were on a fantastic vacation :-)


This is from our first camping trip October 14-16, 2011. It was a blast! I met lots of very fun ladies!

Obviously, I have not updated my blog in over a year. My life has been morphing into a real life that includes my dogs, but also involves many other interests. By reading the older posts, you will see that I attempted camping the summer of 2010. I loved it! The dogs loved it! BUT, the tent was too much work for me and I hated sleeping on an air mattress. Also, Frasier was thriving in agility training. I do not have the temperament or the perfection gene, so we never would have been able to compete, but Frasier loved agility and it was great exercise for me. The bad news is that in the spring of 2011, Frasier suffered two bouts of symptoms of a neck injury. To this day I do not know what happened. He was in horrible pain. Because of the neck issues, agility was dropped. So......in August 2011 I bought a beautiful 1966 Shasta 10 ft trailer. Other than yard camping,I was able to get in a 3-day local camping trip in mid October. I went to Riverside State Park, Bowl and Pitcher, right here in Spokane. It was perfect for a first-time camping trip with the trailer. I went with a group of about 15 women, each with her own vintage trailer. I'll attempt to post pictures of my trailer, but not tonight!

My current and on-going project is redoing the inside of my trailer. I took out the couch across the back that also pulled out into a bed. The bunk bed was also removed. When the weather warms up, I will be attempting to put in framework for a decent bed! YAY! Then I'll paint the inside. I still can't decide on a color for the outside so that will have to wait.

I joined Sisters On The Fly yesterday. To learn more about that group, please visit their website at www.sistersonthefly.com. I also LOVE the "Girl Camping" site on Facebook.

So, I hope to be back soon!
