The view from my bed |
Dad's fishing pole from 1945. |
The awning set up. |
After everyone had left, I asked my Dad about an old vintage heater I remembered him having and I wondered if he still had it. We went under the house and found it, as well as his fishing pole from 1945. The pole was actually my grandfathers and he gave it to my Dad in 45. He was happy to give both of them to me for the trailer and I was very excited to have them. He also gave me two vintage hammers and a galvanized bucket to add to the trailers supplies.
I gave my Mom a big Mother's Day hug and then headed to the story to buy more supplies for the trailer. I really wanted to find tent stakes and rope, so I could try out the awning. There were also several kitchen supplies I wanted to get, along with other miscellaneous items. I headed to Fred Meyer's and $191 later I was heading for home to stock up the trailer.
The end of the weekend. |
With the rope and tent stakes the awning went up with easy. The awning looked really good with the trailer and seemed to make the trailer look bigger, at least the usable space anyway.
It had been an awesome weekend. I had so much fun and hated to see the weekend come to an end.
Tonight I'm sleeping in my own bed and hopefully the crazy cats will leave me alone.

Thank you! The awning slides onto a small curved track at the top of the trailer. I can look up the gal who made the awning I have her card somewhere if you are interested.
