Do I?

My husband and I have been chatting all day while he is at work and looking on line. Do I do it? Will it work out? I am so up in the air about it...I just don't know...but....

I found this 2016 REISSUE 16' Shasta in Iowa. Now, I am in Washington state. I have talked to the salesmen and a finance guy and we will know something tomorrow by 2pm.

I really don't know if I should do this as being almost killed sticks in my mind every moment with the other…

Long Time...No Talk...

Hey Everyone...

  Hope you are well. I haven't been on in quite some time as my feelings go back and forth. At this point there is a part of me that wants another vintage tin can, and then I shy away. I've looked in Craig'slist in Washington and honestly I cannot believe what I am seeing.

  For a P.O.S. people want $6,000 up to $20,000 which is absolutely absurd. If I was to get another, at this point I would get one that is redone as I don't think I could poor…

Ughg...it's over...

Well, hope all is well with all. Rosie left yesterday as the insurance company took her to auction. Got diddly for her, so sad. What do you do? *SIGH*

Happy Trails Leads to Tragic Ending

Well, I honestly don't know where to start. First, we are alive, and all 3 babies are alive and ok.

  We started our morning off by finishing up for everything we needed to do, loaded the trailer on the hitch, my husband Greg took a couple of pictures of us in the toaster and ready to go. Life was good until 20 miles down the road on the freeway to Oregon.

  Going 60 mph in a 70, she started to sway out of control. I was slowing down tremendously as she was…

Today is the Day!!!

  Today, this morning, after I get my rear end up from drinking my morning tea, into the bath, and busy putting my girlie girl self together, it's off to finalize everything that needs to go for our very first adventure ever in Rosie for a week!

  Life has been well for the past few weeks...got 99% done on Rosie that we planned, got a new car, put a tow package on her (could of taken the Trail Blazer but...) and we're getting ready to rock her! (Not literally!…

It's Been A Loooonggg....Road!

  Finally, I never ever thought I would see this day! It's well overdue. It's been a year and we still have things to do, but today I can proudly say that she is painted on the outside! We now are going into the design process of what we want to paint on the outside.

  It's been hard in 95° weather to get her done, but I am proud to say...the colors are on! We still have a few things to do…

On Our Way to Color!!

  Whew! What a day! I'm tired! Painting is NOT good for arthritis...I can tell ya that for sure! Ackck! We started this morning off by washing the trailer off with STP, rinsing, drying, taping, and then going to breakfast! (At this point we were just already too tired to make something! LOL!)

  At 94° it has made painting a bit of a chore. We've got about half done with most of the pink painted and half of that needs a second coat. Every where you see blue, it will be…

Finally...Curtains...& Unfortunate Findings!

Hey All!

  I hope you are doing good! It's been a while since I've been a around! As an owner of an antique store, right now is my peak season so life has been keeping me busy! In between all of that we've been trying to work on Rosie, although it is one day a week...Sundays.

  With the heat rising well over triple digits every day and no air conditioning in her, it's been making it real tough and severely limited on what we can do. A bit ago, we did discover by…

Love-Hate Relationship!

Yesterday (Sunday) we worked ALL day from 8am to 9:38pm doing the inside, decorating and found out that Rosie has a leak in the copper tubing below the kitchen sink about the size of a dime. I about died when this happened. This is going to set us back a few weeks. *SIGH*

Didn't get one thing done in Rosie today as planned. We were supposed to have a sanding party, but Mother Nature decided differently for us! It poured rain all day! Ughgh. Although, one of our best friends,…

WOW! What A Day!

  Started early..and just stopped and hardly anything got done...from what it feels like! Started off by going to Lowe's and buying little things that were needed for electrical and securing the fridge in. Got the fridge, got her all fitted in and painted around her to match.

  Made a door to hide the fridge, kilzed it and still waiting for it to dry. Long story, but the kilz was too goopy! Ughh! So, after that is all dry, I will sand it down, paint both sides of the door, ass…

Any Ideas on Restoring the Outside?

Hi Folks,

  I have a good question here...If you take a look at the pics of the outside of our little Aloha, you can see there are a few issues.

#1) It is a blue grey

#2) Rosie is covered in house paint.

  It is a light coat, meaning it is not super thick and in 10 coats. We'd like to take her back to her original glory, the original aluminum. I'm not sure how bad she will look if we get this house paint off of her, or how we are going to…
