Irish nope comes from the English Pubs I think - the malt beers were a bit strong for the ladies so they used to tone it down a bit with tonic water which led to ginger - hence came the ginger beer - the Shandy is a take from it for those who did not like the tast of 'ginger'

I just love the drink - you don't get too full it is very refreshing too. makes for a nice pitcher on a hot sunny day around the dock.

Themes....

63-Moonbeam-3 and go with all the same stuff again - that would be a no brainer and not much of a challenge but still cute nevertheless.

Rosie the Rusty Rivette - which is on the lines of the 'girl power' theme - I could have a ball with this one and what a hoot showing up to these Rivette Rallies with her all decked out with Rosie Stuff and inspirational who knows what...Could be the "girls tree house" on wheels. 'rusty' I'm not a red head but when I use Belle No.40 I do look pretty auburn! - and well the Rust - is apparently what happened with all the fertilizer stored in the trailer which turned all the appliances and god only knows what else rusty???? I would pick up on the blue colours from Rosies jump suit and the red pokadots from her scarf would make real cool curtains - and the poster has yellow in it so I could keep that colour too which I really like. Rosie was into airplanes so I was thinking a flight jacket style couch with brown leather and sheep skin area rugs. Anyone have a old wooden airplan propellor - I would mount that up in the front at the base of the bulkhead. Deck the bathroom out like a cockpit. Get some really cool graphics for the windows that allow you to see out but you could not see in. It would look like a continuation of the aluminum or a fusulage sp??? Then of course get some vinyl graphics of Rosie - with our Motto You Can Tow It - or I'm towin it! on the back.

Just a few ideas I'm tossing in my head - but I have nightmares looking at the before pics right now
