Silver Wedding Anniversary - Surprise

[Happycampers]

Sharon, I bet you are not sleeping , only seeing silver. Peter will be so surprised when he sees it. And I mean that in a good way. Looking forward to seeing the big reveal. Oh where are the reality shows when you need them..

[05ModPod]

OH MY

They must have drugged me

That is a first . I laid down and woke up 8 hours later in the same spot and felt like 10 mintues later!!!!!!!!!

Must be the air in the Woudruffs house - just filled with so much love and hospitality you sleep like a baby

Okay Paula I am up and showered and dressed where are you????

Just kidding - I think I am on the fourth snooze button now.

Hi Annie and Marvin -wish you were here.

At the rate I drove here - I think the unveiling just might be Wednesday night..... hope it does not rain and ruin the big bow and balloons.

I might spring for a video cam for this one....I might need it for the insurance company

Just got the getting up things to do, breakfast, goodbye's and the Ohio Flats for 3.5 hours

Heck where are the mountains over here...???

Wonder if Carol draged one back with her.

Hey Fly-Girl! loved your trip blog - great pics.

I will have to check with my Yaking partner - that would be Steph not Peter I think we will have to put in somewhere to make this HUGE white lie legit -thus I would not be living a lie for the next 25 years of marriage

Ha ha - guess who did not get a wake up call??? and running behind today.

Hope you don't make up the time by skipping the black tank instructions - cause I can't run across the border with it - they charge GST on the contents


GOOD MORNING PETER!!!GUESS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO OWN A 22'CCD AIRSTREAM IN ABOUT 4 HOURS HAPPY 25TH - LOVE YA LOTS SWEETPEE! (I promise I wil get a job when I get home!)


It is so great that Peter is so busy and just never has time to come on the forums....PHEW!!!

[Happycampers]

Well Sharon .. Are you now in your CCD? Have a great time and visit. I bet you are having a hard time not to run for the border and show it to Peter early???? Me bets you will be home sooner than planned. .. We are off to Camping World in Syracuse NY to pick up a new ac for the Argosy... It is blowing cold but does a lot of groaning. Have fun and travel safely..

Of course i am dragging one back, why do you think it's taking me so long? Actually the mountain I am dragging back has eroded and has taken the form of sand and dust.

Pictures Sharon, we need to see your new baby!

Are you in the terraport? I am in Mitchell South Dakota wish I was there.

[Foiled Again]

Sharon and an unsuspecting Peter are now the proud new owners of my 22 CCD. Sharon has what can only be described as a blissful grin plastered on her face in a state of euphoria.

I'm happy for her, and I really wasn't getting enough use out of the 22 to keep it, but it looks so pretty! Please help us keep Peter in the dark for another four days. I only wish I could see the look on his face when he sees his "new" Airstream.

GT1963 has her camera uploading at the moment, so stand by for pictures, pictures, pictures!

You gals up to mischief tonight? I'm missing a part-tay...DANG!!!!!!!!!!

[05ModPod]

OMG we own 3 trailers again!!!

I am here and I am alive and I am now officially BROKE - does anyone have a job they need doing...

I was trailers, sew curtains, give nice massages heck I will do about anything okay within reason.

I am just about to get some photos up...so anyone still up - grab a drink and chair and I'll be right back..

Hey Carol come on over and party - pass your glass - Paula is in the bathroom replacing some velcro.

[wheel interested]

clink, to a happy 25th and many many more

[05ModPod]

Okay here come my first photos...

sneak preview



Everyone has done this....
Paul got stuck on a narrow road and backed into a dirt embackment at her first Rally..But she went to the Rally and saw that most of the rally goers all had bent bumpers!!
Heck I told her to leave it as I know I will do it sooner or later



New vulcum in all the dried out places. Along with new lights - such a sweetie Paula is - Peter will find out how good she is....



And MoonBeamToo was in really good company and I was being pulled back to the vintage while standing around



And more re sealing of the awning....all systems checked out.



Little baby pulled out and ready for us to drink and do the signing....



but not before we head out for the nice dinner


Did you notice the CCD!!!!! In the Background - hey did ya'll know that is MINE oh wait OUR new Trailer - must remember to say OURS....But if figure it is MINE until I cross the border...

[wheel interested]

That sure is pretty! Great shots. Now don't forget morning pj pics tomorrow!!

[05ModPod]

Okay I am tired and trying to upload with Airstream Fac's wifi is extremely frustrating!!!

So I will do later when I don't need any sleep....

They are coming at 6:00 to finish off the work - yep convinced them to take her in Saturday so not to mess up the Two hour tour - like my tour of Ohio and Michigan and mess up the revealing day at the end....

They thought it was cool that I bought this without the Hubby knowing....

[05ModPod]

....and this was dinner - oh YUM



It is the century home just down the road......remember Carol last year it was not open - well we made it this time - about 20 minutes too early so we sat on the veranda and waited.


Trying smaller posts so they don't time out on me geesshhhh

[05ModPod]

Okay and finally down to business!!!







I am in SHOCK!!! Still - and now I am sitting on the dinette table - okay in the bed position. Since I now own the trailer - I had to consider Paula my GUEST - thus she gets the double bed and I get the sausage bed. Now if I waited and got her drunk earlier I could have delayed the signing until Saturday morning THEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GUEST!!



Now my journey home beggins tomorrow - but not before some serious Silver Sister time is continued.....

Paula Thank You so much for taking care of this deal in a First Class manner - I so really appreciate all that you have done!!!

Poor Paula I think I gave her too much Chocolate Raspberry Port

[05ModPod]

She sure is Peerrrrty!!!!

[05ModPod]

Ain't she beautiful!!!







And such a nice night to end a perfect day!

[05ModPod]

6:00 am came really quick...with John knocking at the door - now that would be Kevin with his John Deer!!!!

The day thus far has gone nice and smooth - but both Paula and I started to drag our butts after a long night of chatting and laughing and hmm a little bit of PORT!!! That stuff is really really great.

We set to first thing to get my plug wired - and did not want to hold up the service guys so - "Women" Rule ladies - no time like the present to figure it out and do the operation....

Actually - I think the guys have been filling us a big line!!

Had her apart - cleaned her up and rewired to a new 7 pin TV end. Reattached and plugged in with a wiggle - bingo - all working and ready to go in no time.

Paula and I headed off to breakfast and when we came back my little baby was already back to the TPort with a nice shower - and all systems a go.

Time to set up the hitch - was meant to be - I needed a bit of a reminder but we got her done in no time.

Then we were fading - So Paula freshened up and took a nice long nap - while I wondered around still in total amazement that I was about to leave on the second half of my adventure.... Walking around the TPort - I have always admired the new ones - with all amenities that worked And now it was my turn!! and again really wishing the Hubby was hear to be in on the excitement....but that is yet to come....

Then it was time to send Paula on her way and cut my embilical cord - I am now on my own. Took an hour or so to just sit and enjoy our Anniversary Present!!

All freshened up and about to ready myself for my first 3.5 hour drive up to Stephs - Okemos.

Just a few last minute things like install the mirrors and unhook all the hoses.

She is somewhat tidied from our "girly" mess and everything is in its place for the little road trip.

I will post a few pics later this evening....

Paula AGAIN - THANK YOU!!!! so much for all that you have done and all the trinkets you showered me with.... And guess what you went away without!!! Your bottle of PORT!

You know what that means don't you....Road trip!

Get that passport sorted out kido and come on up to K's country.

Will be leaving shortly Stephannie....

And Sue if you check out the forum - Hi there and still planned for Tuesday!

Carol hurry up!

Hi Vickie - just in case you popped your head in to the forum not sure if you will be in town - I will try to touch base with you later today or tomorrow.

Lou and Larry hope your weekend is going great and not too hot for you.

So off we go now.....

[airedale]

Sorry I missed you Sharon, nice CCD!
