For several years, I have been wanting an old camper.
One to restore,
a fixer-upper,
a project.
This one was dropped in my lap.
A little bigger than what I had planned,
but really,
with six grandkids all under the age of six,
my friend and former camper owner pointed out,
"You are going to need the room!"
So,
JWS jumped at the idea.
Not sure about what drugs he might be taking...
but we'll address that later.
Today,
it came home.
I hope to blog the process,
the successes,
the laughs,
and even
when
JWS and start throwing things at one another.
(which is bound to happen)
I have decorating ideas.
But first we'll clean.
It has been setting for three years.
It needs a good cleaning.
Want to follow along?
C'mon, you know you do!
Oh Cathy, that is so wonderful. I can't wait to hear your stories and see the progress you make on this home away from home. So exciting. When the mister and I got married we started camping in a tent. Loved it until around 2 am one morning a bunch of boy scouts threw a frog in on us sleeping. Yep, funny now but I am terrified of frogs. We upgraded to a pop up and wore out 2 of those. When Holly started working and in high school we stopped camping. I really miss the outdoors and all the nice folks you can meet in campgrounds. I am so jealous girl. You bet I am in for the ride.

Oooooo how fun. I saw once on t.v. an old caboos that a man had remodeled and put in his backyard for when the grands came to visit. It was an amazing thing to behold. I bet yours will be too when you are done with it. Good luck. I can't wait to see the progress. I will be following along. -Steph-
