Well fiddle sticks... both this blog and my other blog seem to be at an impass with Google/Picaso... as I can't post pictures unless I start paying  per blog each month... so until I figure whether to keep 2 separate blogs or combine them into one... I will be  playing on face book... lol!

Still Sleeping....

I went out to the ManCave this morning to check in on the 'girls'....  they woke and asked if it was time to come out and play yet,,, I whispered, "No dear ones, not quit yet, now go back to sleep"... and they did....

Happy Trail(er)s  to you......

The reason Why!

And this is the reason  'WHY' my trailers are tucked away in the ManCave until May....

 Our 1st Official snow fall of the season....

Ho Ho Ho!

It Must Be Love....

It must be love.... when your darling husband disappears out into the ManCave and hours later comes into the house bearing a gift....

Yep,,, he made me a 'safety bat'... to keep in my trailer (under my bed) just in case an unwanted Vampire Bat or intruder comes in...
Now doesn't that just speak words of 'LOVE' ?  

Oh Sure!

 Spotted this while at Lowes,,, the little lites on the trailer,,,lite up...

Oh Sure,,, Go figure.... now that my sweet lil trailers are tucked away in the barn for the Winter,,, I am seeing all kinds of cute 'trailer' goodies.... like this ceramic bird house...which I bought...it was  a Thrift store find for $1.50
Who says you can't Glamp during the Winter?

GWTW

Look what I won at an on~line auction....

Oh fiddle dee dee..... the plot thickens.....   hee hee hee....
Here today and 'Gone with the Wind'......

Scotty Woolie....

Lately I have been enjoying creating and stitching  'wool penny rugs'... and recently I finished up my latest creation...

a woolie with my Sister on the Fly number....
I also added 2 cute little plaid Scotty Dog buttons....
So now I am trying to decide... should I attach a ribbon or maybe a wire hanger or leave it as it is... or stitch this onto a wool pillow... oh decisions, decisions....

Petticoats...

So while out at one of my favorite Thrifts,,, I came across 1/2 dozen petticoats...OMG! I thought I had died and gone to Petticoat Heaven!  lol!
There were blue ones, a black one, yellow one, green one, etc., plus this pink one... aacckk! so many choices,,, what's a gal to do?
Well to not put my marriage in jeopardy I only purchased only one,,, this one... I love the dusty rose~pink color and that it is a bit longer than the others...plus it is what is called a '50yd' petticoat...meaning it has 50yds of fabric so it's quite full and fluffy....

Needless to say,,, I will be 'stylin' next year at our annual 'SOTF shops Farm Chick' camping/glamping event! Now to find a pink cowgirl hat, oh wait! I have one... so now all I need is a pair of pink cowgirl boots! 
(p.s., the pink boots below, are a size 6, way to small for my size 8 cloddhoppers!...lol!)

GWTW....

Gone with the Wind.... that's all I am gonna say,,, for now..... but ask me in the Summer what this means....
Oh and Happy Autumn......

Boot Scootin'

 I found these cute, pink faux leather boots..... how cute to use for decorating my Scotty trailer (pink & blue)...and to store a bottle of Vino in......  

 Then I found these at my favorit 2nd hand Western shop......  these are Nacona boots and very retro....

 The red ones are by Tony Lama.  I love the latigo stitching on both boots.

Going 'Toe - to - Toe'...... I love my boots!

Sittin' Pretty....

 Sittin' pretty? oh you betcha!

 Check it out,,, both the seat and back are hand tooled......

 this fold-up camp chair is going to look soooo Kool by my trailer next Camping season....

It's a fold~able rocking chair... I love it!  I found it at a local 2nd hand Western Shop....

Off to the Bitteroots We Go!

 (l to r) Linda, Patty and me... last day in civilization,,,in just a few hours we will be devoid of all moderen technology and conveniences.

 Idaho,,,,

 Cold but refeshing... got my tootsies soaking in the Snake River.

(l to r) Juli, Patty, Karen, Linda, Jess, (not in photo is Shawn and Alexis or me)
We stopped off in a little town, hit the Deli for lunch then we found this lovely place to relax and enjoy.
Next stop,,, Base Camp ~ Triple O Outfitters camp.

Love My Ride...

 Taking a break.... (bottom to top)  Annie, Tony, Doug, me and my 'ride' George....

 Taking a moment to reflect on natures beauty and how blessed my life has been.

 Is this serene or what!?! Wild Huckleberry plants everywhere....

 Doug and I taking in the beauty... Doug rode in with the pack mule carrying our provisions.

 There were so many vistas, some sparse like this while others were overgrown with dense vegetation.

 We crossed several riverbeds as well as lots of little creeks......

But this was the best view of all!  My best friend, George.... He and I bonded from the get-go,,,or could it have been all the apples I gave him? lol!

Around the Camp...

 This is where we arrived before entering the campgrounds.... but our trail rides, traversing the winding mountainous trails brought us up to the almost 6000ft level.

 My 'home away from home' the first night....and let me tell you, the nights get bond chilling cold!

 Saddle Camp..... just because we are disconnected from civilization doesn't me we can't decorate!

 Camp puppies.. Oh how these 2 little pups got the royal treatment.... with 8 women to cuddle and snuggle with them, no wonder these pups are pooped!

 Our daily meals were prepared by Dutch Oven.... And let me tell you, we ate Great! Even the desserts were prepared in the Dutch Oven..... there is an art, and science to Dutch Oven cooking,,, knowing exactly how many briquettes to put under and over the  cast iron pots,,,,and how long to let cook... Annie, our cook had it down to not waste briquettes,,by stacking the pots.

If you are prissy and a clean freak, this is not the trip for you..... The water heater for the shower was not working and let me tell you,,, washing up with ice cold creek water is not for the faint of heart!

Morning Ride.

 Getting ready to head out for a ride up to the Lake.

 After 3 hours of extreme trail riding... we needed a break.....

 This was one of the easy passes..... Patty took this picture of me from her horse.

And this is what we arrived to after 3hours of riding up the side of a mountain.... it was breath taking and so worth the ride.

Pimp My Ride!

Hmmm, do I pick bachelor #1 or bachelor #2 ?

 Here I am, riding Alex the Mule while Karen is riding Charlie Mule.... they (Karen & Charlie) got along spectacular,,, Alex and I on the other hand,,, not so!
After 2 days of him (Alex) wanting to go left and me wanting to go right,,, we decided to part ways...
So I 'Pimped My Ride'.... I traded Alex for George who for the next to days was the best daw-gone trail buddy a gal could ask for.

It's all about the ride,,,,,  Thank you George.

KampKaren 2012

After we all returned to our homes, families and chores...we were off and running again, this time to Karen's ranchette for "KampKaren"..... hosted by Karen & her side-kick, Dash!

 This is Dash.. quite the handsome fellow!

 This is Karen,,,, who has discovered her inner cowgirl this summer!

 This is the massive yard sale finds that we just could not live with out!

 Mornings are always quiet.....for both the trailers and their occupants...

 Ah ! I have been spotted by Handsome Dash!  Dash got an overdose of attention this weekend at KampKaren.

 Where is everybody? Surely they aren't out yard~saleing again!?!

 Juli's cute little alter ego trailer, "Iron Pony"..... I luv the awning.

 The backside of my trailer was a comfy place to relax...and yes, that is a purple Christmas tree...what? don't you decorate your trailer with a purple Christmas tree in September? And did you notice the box it is sitting on? That's a vintage 'port-a-potty' that I scored at a yard sale for $1.50 I was so excited to find it!

 I love Carolyn's, "M&M" trailer..... (menopause & medicare).....this is 1 of 3 trailers that Carolyn has.

 Overview of KampKaren. front row, left to right: Deeanne, Mig, Linda and Karen's trailers.
Back row, left to right: Toni, Juli, Carolyn, Cori & my trailers.

 I found this 'Bustiere' at a yard sale & the girls insisted I model it... Linda tried to help my hook it up...

 AIR! aacckk! it was so tight I could barely breath....and to think women wore these for the sake of beauty and the perfect figure!

Ok, that's better...but I still can't breath!
Another year, another fun filled weekend at KampKaren. And it goes with out saying.... "what happens at  camp,,, stays at camp!"... lol!  Now someone get me out of this thing!
