Oh yes, I LOVEd Underdog, especially when he was just his mild-mannered self, before he turned into the superhero. He was just so cute and sweet. Bullwinkle and Rocky too. I like Rocky best but I'm not sure why. Such a sensible little Squirrel. Mr. Magoo was not a favorite of mine -- I think I just felt sorry for him, poor guy.
Hey, I must've missed Michelle's syrup. Where did you say she got it?
-J
I just remembered another favorite -- Yogi Bear and Boo-boo. What a great duo, always stealin' them pic-a-nic baskets. Cracked me up!

If you look in this post you will see pictures of Michelle. Picture 2 and picture 7 are when she is stoking the fire for making syrup. I believe it is in Pennsylvania. The one in the tub is a picture of Michelle taking a break from working at Habitats for Humanity, and the last picture is Michelle flycasting in Oregon the day she brought me up on this lovely mountain. She is amazing, flying her own plane and planes in fire fighting service and being able to fix them too!

Wow all these ladies here are so "worldly"  
Okay so like I am going to die now - I forgot about the old asbestos tiles in these trailers - so what part of the tile has it the top part or the bottom part??? there are not many left in LadyBug and most just peeled right of the floor - but there are a few stuck down pretty good - with what looks like black tary stuff. I am sort of hoping that the asbestos is in just the top coating of the tile and not that tary stuff.
Steph I found it - I searched and searched and searched - hmmm no wonder I did not jump on it EXPENSIVE. But you know if you want something bad enough..... 
Ladies it is time for another road trip. Anyone game to take a caravan over to England?? or Australia?? I need to go shopping to outfit the LadyBug in real style.
The US and CAN should learn from the RV appliance these guys have available to them - wow!!! this is the one I want - but I think you can order just the grill portion - I just bought myself a cooktop this past trip. But I want to have a propane grill but inside - for the toast and steak if you are tired and don't want to haul the BBQ out. Don't want the big oven either as I could pop in a Microwave for when we are hooked up to electric.
If I were to buy Steph a present (key word IF) this would be yours - but the model up from this even has a warming tray on the bottom!!!
And to keep the coolies cool I would definitely change out the poor excuse for a fridge that is in LadyBug right now! for this...
Still snowing here very wet and heavy...Going over to the try not to kill yourself threads on restoration - I think I was suppose to have one of those big breather things on - but oh well.... 
PS the Appliance series is called SMEV 400 for the smaller units - anyone find them in the States let me know?? Please!

Carol -- thanks for the pointer to the pics. That Michelle sure gets around! Wish we could talk her into being in Ohio in June.
Sharon -- did you see the cooktop in the "Architect's Airstream" in the new Airstream Life? (pg. 66-7) I think it would work just perfect for your little Ladybug.

Wow!!
Oooh I just love looking at those appliances!! A girl can dream!! Sharon you just go for it!! Your ladybug will be featured on the food network, those chefs will be elbowing each other aside trying to get at your cooktop and cooler!
I love those little cooktops from the Airstream Life Jamie, in fact that was my first big ooh and aah for the issue besides the dinette/settee thing. I wonder what they kick out?? I'm thinking your camp chef stove is a great solution for cooking power, and I like the outdoors for cooking while camping, easier clean up!!

The last was called the Empress of Canada - which our friends came over on in 69. By the 70's most came by plane and all your belonging came by container ship. All ours came with us via Trunks...

Wow I have never thought of Airstreaming as "camping" we have never gone to a National park and "camped" like when we used to tent it.
Even when we took my parents out East it really was not "camping" for us - it was more like Carry-on Caravaning with the Jones's (any body watch any of the Carry on Gang?)
We only ever used the Globe Trotter for Rallies the few we went to. And all the meals are either provided or you went out.
The rest of the time we spent basically a Month each year in it in the winter down in Florida - and that was just a "mini-house" So the kitchen got used as a kitchen. We cooked our regular meals with Potatoes, veggies, and meat either on the BBQ or a Stove top dish of sorts.
Oh well I will have to "dream" of that fancy one - at $354.00 that is more than the new axle!!!

Yay! My new "We Can Tow It" t shirt arrived yesterday, and my dear coopertive daughter agreed to "the pose!" And although the shirt fits her a lot better than me, I still wouldn't let her borrow...I need it for encouragement!

Yep, we're gnarly all right!
The shirt is a very snug (on me) medium, and I usually wear a small. Of course I am still in post holiday denial...

Thanks for the picture. Now I'm going to have to order one of those dark, long sleeve shirts, and a few more for the daughters.

Janet Thanks for the picture. Great shot. Your daughter looks roaring to go. Girl Power Yeah!! Now that mom really has her child "in tow" She's a beauty, you California girls are all blonde, tan and gorgeous! I thought that was just myth.
Maybe we should order large shirts, was that a contour size? My medium from Can Opener has not been worn either. Maybe we can have a tight tshirt day.

The shirt is a straight, regular medium from what I can tell. The transfer isn't too stiff, and the colors are great against the black, but it is a tad narrow in the chestal area. 
And Carol, rest assured that Mom here is fair, brunette and freckled! The girls have heavily inherited their dad's genes...But he beat me to gray!

So Janet have you met other Westie Rivettes yet. There's a rally coming or have you had it already? You don't know how much we in the East wish the West coast wasn't quite sooo far.

Too bad this seems like "chicks" only. Seems to be a bit of fun.

Hi Silvertwinkie! Thanks for stoppin' by. Can I offer you a cup of coffee this morning?
Yes, lookin' around the campfire here you'll see it's pretty much just us Airstreaming "chicks", but being that it it's an online rally I'm sure there are a few guys around here somewhere. Every once in a while one of them speaks up, or stops by to lend support for our efforts and some kind words or good karma. Not really chicks only so much as guys enter at your own risk.
