Simply, Lesa

No new pics - because I'm currently camera-less! I was feeling rather tired of the winter process, the cold weather, the intense focus I've been having on the winter trailer project... And being home was lovely, tho I kept waking up to notice, yet again, that --- whatever that isn't finished yet - the fact that I need a second coat of interior paint, or that I'm living with a new plywood subfloor but that I'm still waiting on the tiles to be available at our local Lowe's home store, or a zillion other oops I forgot that screw again kind of projects..... so I took off with Ozzie for a drive straight down Route 180 into Deming NM.  We visited with some friends at the Low - Hi RV Ranch for a week of much needed rest, relaxation, a couple glasses of wine, a margarita and pizza party and a BIG change of perspective! I feel so much better :)

Sooooo - the trailer exterior got the initial coat of glossy white paint! HiTopMike seemed to enjoy learning how to do this process.  So with Greg's guidence - he sprayed three coats of paint on the trailer. Some day I will probably do an appropriate vintage trim design. We left the front window frame green and white crackle finish for now - because I kinda like it.  With that finished - I could feel more confident test driving/test towing her around my town.  I have been able to tow the trailer with the Honda around town.  All went well, although my anxiety and stress level was kinda high from lack of recent experiences towing.  Although I calmed down during the drive the next day - the 37 mile drive --- yup - the drive HOME! I still have the van.  It's been for sale, its seems forever.  I get a little interest now and then - after towing the trailer home, I realize that I would like a different tow vehicle for longer trips and mountain driving......

Oh my gosh have I been busy this winter...yes, keeping warm....yes volunteering when I couldn't make progress on my personal - and incredibly large - project! AND I've had help, which I really needed...I couldn't have done without Ms.Gail, her brother Greg and his girlfriend Gale, ScrapperMike, HiTopMike, Ozzie for a hug!, the people at the local food pantries and churches as well as The New Hope Chest Thrift Store!  and RTR Greg who keeps prodding me to update my blog! so here are some pics of the BIG Kencraft trailer project that has been keeping me busy....sooooon, it will have a new exterior update and of course more pics! But hey, we are moved in and staying warm as we continue the work....
