I'm just getting the campfire going now, so anyone who wants to join in and offer a story, or song, come on along. I think Carol's going to do a jig or something for us.

Hi Jaimie and all Silver sisters and Rivettes,

This is a great fun thread!!..I'd like to pull up a chair and sit and join in with you all too!..I'll bring the s'mores, my ukulele and we can have some singalongs and tell ghost stories!!..

[maxandgeorgia]

Codybear, please do join us. Bring along your chair, or we'll just hitch over a little on this big log to make room. Do you have a favorite campsong? Mine, from old Girl Scout days, began: "hmm, I'd like to lin-n-ger, hmm, a little lo-o-nger. . ." I wish I could remember all the words. I think you've brought the first instrument to our gathering. I wonder if some of the others are harboring some secret instrumental talents? In my "next life," I'm going to play banjo and bass Welcome, ~G

[codybear]

Hi Georgia,

Thnx for the welcome!..I don't know how I missed this thread from the beginning posts long ago!!!..must have been daydreaming of my next rally to go to!..a fav camp song, well, there's the Campfire Girls Club I used to belong to (Jamie might remember?) Make new friends, but keep the old, one is 'silver' and the other's gold..hey, I remembered!!..there's hope for me yet, huh?..we could sing some Hawaiian songs w/my uke as I strum a few simple chords!!!..always wanted to learn to play drums, make a lot of beating noises..kazoos would work too!!!

[Aria]

Welcome Codybear, You stick with your instrument. Remember Floyd plays the drums and I sing. What a Bunch..FUN

[Aria]

G These are Call Ducks. They are sweet, playful and fun to have on the Pond.

[Aria]

They are lovable as babies and again as Adults. They remain small and love our pond.

[Aria]

OOps. Not an Adult Duck. It is our GT Will try again

[Aria]

Will try again. Adult Call Duck

Welcome, codybear! Great to have another campfire sister join us. You have a ukulele?!? That's just too cool! Will you play us a little? What's in your repertoire?

I'm afraid the only instrument I ever learned (cello) isn't much suited to the campfire. But I have a harmonica packed in the trailer and I'm trying to pick up a few tunes on it. Maybe some of you other ladies play harmonica?

Aria -- love those ducks! Wouldn't my girls go crazy over those? Do you have any trouble protecting them from wild predators (coyotes, fox, fishercats, etc.?)

Aria, I'm just looking at the photo of the Mr. (professor?) blowing the snow off your GT, and it looks like the weight of the snow actually pushed in the top of the trailer. Is that real? or does it just look like that in the picture? I know the snow we got last week, about 8"-10", was the heaviest we've had in a long time but I didn't get much on top of the Bambi because the trees caught most of it.

-Jamie

[Aria]

Jamie, Fortunately the snow did NOT hurt our GT. This is our first winter and we had a chat with Sharon and she advised us to get the snow off.

Floyd (with Sharon's direction) swept the snow and then used a leaf blower to get more off. And he has been blowing the snow off daily. We have had
SNOW and more SNOW. We are considering a "home" for our GT. It is not
an exercise we want dealing with the snow removal. You probably have snow in your area? Do you have your Airstream protected/home?

[tin sista]

Hey everybody, can I join and sit near the campfire? The wind has stopped but its still pretty chilly though I'm grateful for double digits

Codybear, I just love music, so glad a musician could join us!! Jamie I hope you will consider bringing your harmonica to Ohio in June!!

Aria those ducks are adorable!!

We had such a lovely visit with the rivettes from Michigan and Canada,
Vickie and Danielle (Towdaddy), Carol (wheel interested), Sharon (GT6921), and their menfolk came by yesterday. They all are such a pleasure to spend time with, it lifted our spirits to see them all. Sharon and Peter are on the way now towards Sarnia. This forum is such a nice place, we are grateful for the friends we meet everyday through it!

[Aria]

tin sista, Neat to learn the sisters travels and updates. I have chat with Sharon and she is adverture plus. Looking forward to hear more about her
63 GT. I am sure Sharon will do a super job restoring. She has the know-how and the experience. Quickly read the previous forum threads there are approximately 21 of us...Yes? Our Ducks are a joy. Finally learned to resize photos.

[Aria]

tin sista, Come on sit next to me. The snow has stopped here and the wind is still blowing and we are in the double digits.

Thanks for the update on our sisters. I have had chats with Sharon. She is an adventure and we are looking forward to viewing updates on her new 63 GT. She has the experience and know-how and will do a great restoration.

Our Ducks are a joy and help me in my gardening. Sisters are special.

[maxandgeorgia]

Aria, there's hope. After yesterday's blowing white outs, today is bright, sunny, even warm to springlike. Our son just left after plowing out the drifts on our lane. Only 1-2 inches can make a pile when it blows! Our grandson was having a ball sliding from our pond bank onto the pond ice (6-8 inches thick) when his sled tipped right off the bank onto the slush at the edge and he sat in 3 inches of ice water. What a roar he gave and how we all laughed. We were only supposed to get to 30 degrees today, but we are well beyond that. I feel like sitting outside and having a sunbath. So. . .wait a day and you may have some of our warm come your way. Here, I'm huffing and puffing, sending it east to you. ~G

[Aria]

G. Thanks. I think it worked. We have sun shining and 20 degrees.
There is always good to see: your grandson enjoying. Sorry about the ice pond. Sledding was fun.

Our Pond is frozen. We have just a "wee" area opened for our Ducks. And we have kept them in. Perhaps tomorrow when we get the G weather.

Glad to know the snow didn't hurt your GT. We did get hit with a whopper on Valentine's Day that closed the local schools, and it was a really heavy wet snow too. That's why I was wondering if your snow was the kind that would actually do damage. Our Bambi sits outside in the elements right now, but we're hoping to do some remodeling on our house in a few years and at that time I'd like to add a shelter for the Bambi, even if it's just a lean to or Airstreamport.

-J

[Aria]

Jamie, We are going to have our GT shelter. Probably a lean-to. My husband is planning to build probably this Spring. They are too precious to leave to the elements. New or Vintage.

We are new to Airstream and did not know what to buy? So new we did not know of the Forum. Our choice was a 19 ft Bambi. We want to be sure we do enjoy Airstream. We located ours close to home and decided to purchase.
