Almost a year later...

Wow, who knew it would be so long between postings ?!  So,  not much has happened since the last posting except we did get all the little issues tweaked. We now have water and electricity. We did buy a deep cycle battery and a converter. 

 Life is pretty great now!  We have gone camping only once since last fall.  We went to Riley Creek campgrounds in LaClede, ID for a week.  It felt to not to have a schedule!   We went to bed and got up when WE wanted not when the clock said so!

Ok, pictures now....

Kindred spirits gather THIS weekend!

 

And the countdown begins.  Three more wake-ups!  The inland northwest vintage trailer campout.  We are so excited!  Avalon is all dolled up and ready to go!  Nope - not posting any more pictures until Sunday night. 

We are in the process of packing her up right now.  All the finishing touches...with the most important wine, coffee and the fine china!  The best part is if we forget anything - we can walk two blocks to the house and pick it up!

Tonight I am finishing the dinette cushions.  They are actually sewn and on the foam - I just have to do a little hand sewing. 

Tomorrow and Thursday I have to work - 11 to 11.  Ugh!  But, then I get the most important three days off!  We have been looking forward to the completion of Avalon since we started tearing her down.  This will be our maiden voyage.  Think happy thoughts for us and keep y'all's fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.

Oh my goodness - I almost forgot!  We found a "My other car is a Tardis" license plate frame for the trailer and  Tardis patio lights!!!  So very thrilled!  Only Dr. Who fans will understand our excitement!

TTFN - We'll catch you up on Sunday night!

Remember, life is good.

All that is left is plumbing and cushions.

Okay, so after a 6 day (sah-weeet!) mini vacation from work - we got a lot done!  Today we got the new tires put on and the bearings packed.  Not that I know what a bearing is or why it needs to be packed - but what the hell - it's done!

All that is left is the plumbing and dinette cushions.  Had to leave something for next weekend!  Once that it finished, we are C O M P L E T E L Y ready for the Northwest Vintage Trailer Campout on August 16, 17 & 18th.  We cannot wait!!!

Okay, I have to work a 12 hour shift tomorrow - so the rest is pictures for tonight!

The Blogger program is having technical difficulties and annoying the hell outta me!  So, if you would - tilt your head to the left on a couple of the pictures.  For some reason I can't turn them.  :(

Chimes!

Door curtains look FABULOUS!!!

Yes, PINK rubbermade!

Yep, dice with flamingoes!
