hi sharon

while not marshmallow exactly, the message is in these words that could be added...

relleno (stuffed) OR pelusa/pellusilla (fluff) OR mullido (fluffy)

as in casa del mullido plata

or leave spanish and try esperanto...

house of silver...........domo de argento (arøento)

silver dream house.....domo de arøento revi ( i like this one)


or again in spanish, simply...

airstream house.........casa corriente de aire or casa corriente aerea

or silver dreams.........sueños de plata

and even more lofty,

house of silver dreams........casa del los sueños de plata

or silver dream house...............casa ideal de plata

cheers

Desert is in there somewhere. And the sun dried desert maybe what has protected her those abandoned years.

I kind of like "Rio De Dinero" with the Brazilian twist... chachacha...

But "Earl" is also good... reminds me of a Ry Cooder song... As in "Mr. Earl"...

A suggestion to put this thing to bed...

A leap year decision

The whole setting of where it was found makes me think of an old horse, so how about..."Paint" or " 'Ol Paint".

Sounds like a winner. On the last day of the month we can lock this post down and pick a winner. Good luck.

But when I stripped all the paint off the car, it was in great shape. I paid $50 for this car, put about 4k into it, and sold it for 12k. So all in all, it was a good deal. I wish I had that car now...

Oh, back to the name thing. My wife doesn't count on the contest, so if we go with her idea for a name then we will pick a winner with the best one here. Might even have you all pick the best.

Her idea is "Quicksilver". There is a reason for this. Terlingua Texas was one big mercury mining town until the late 40's. I still don't get the "silver" part because the ore is realy red. I know, I have some right here...that is why I am slow...

Keep up the good work...I will be back to check on you all later.
Mecury is also called quick silver. Named for the messenger of the gods who was very fleet of foot. How about just Quick?

Since it hasn't been locked out. This reference to mercury made me think of Mad Hatter, or Hg, or Mercy which has all kinds of impications. As I look at these I realize that none are very good with Mercy probably being the best. Sorry guess I'm not that good at naming things either, since ours is simply "The Moss Family Argosy".

Sorry about not getting back with all of you. We had an accident with the AS and it is now a total loss. We have gone on the road with a SOB and are now working on getting my wife fixed. She is having medical treatment and tests in different places. Once that is done we will be looking for a replacement.

As for the winner. My wife came up with a good one. We will see if we can find another.

The winner is Quicksilver.

The winner for this post will be my next post. I will pm the winner also. Thanks to all for playing/helping!!!

So sorry to hear of your accident. Take care of your wife and we hope everything will be OK. A/S' are cool but replaceable, people - not so much so.

I am so sorry to hear about your accident. Godspeed to your wife on her recovery. Good luck on a replacement, but that can wait 'till your wife has recuperated.
