Ice Cream at the Park Store

0 comments
Every summer we would load up in the station wagon and head to see my grandparents in Wisconsin.
We took sight seeing detours along the way, each summer stopping at different destinations.


 I'd like to interject two things at this point. 
We always wore hoodies. I love hoodies! 
I was and am terrified of heights. That is why in one picture it looks like I am clinging to a pole and in the other to my brother.


We saw many wonderful sights in the North Eastern region of the country.
Instead of staying in hotels we would camp along the way. 
Many of the campgrounds had little camp stores.
We would get a soda 
or 
an ice cream.



When I saw this sign at the salvage store in Fort Worth, I knew we needed to have it. 




Bill was a boy scout and the kids were all in scouting at one time or another so we all have our own connection to this type of sign.




There are two little camp stores out at the lake. 
It never fails...
as soon as we pull, I get the urge for an ice cream.



I love the one we get to by boat! 
To this day I can hardly pass up an ice cream sandwich or a nutty buddy when I see a little mom and pop shop. 




I thought this sign would be a cute addition to our back yard. 



It came out of one of the state parks.
Bill's brother wondered if we stole it?
Ummm, no.




It's still in great shape and it was a bargain price at only $25.00. 



It wasn't the only sign that had and
I thought it was an odd thing for them to have.
 I did wonder how they ended up with it. 


I just set it on the fence behind our fire pit. Our little corner is ready for ice cream on a hot summer night. 
Want to join us?

Camping Weekend

0 comments
We went camping a few weekends ago. 
It was a beautiful fall day.

We camp in a trailer out at my brother's property.
It isn't huge but it beats camping in a tent.
I  thought it would be fun to take some pics. My own version of glamping.


When we bought the trailer I immediately changed the bedspread.
The one that came with the trailer was Oriental in style and the fabric was very cheesy. I think we gave it away.
It didn't really even match the camper.

You know how I love my matelasse.
I shopped for rusty, red linens to go with the upholstery.


My mom made the needlepoint pillow.
I love, love vintage needlepoint.
 The little slide-out gives us a tad more room.
We have a DVD player and T.V for when it is just the two of us camping. If there is a group we sit around the campfire.
Our choice for the interior were red, blue or beige. 
This one had the best cabinet, counter top and flooring color.

 We have everything we need in the kitchen.
The best thing we have in the trailer is a full bathroom. I didn't take a picture of it, well because it is just a bathroom.
It has a separate bath tub and shower instead of a shower that sprays all over. It was very high on my priority list. 
I don't like roughing it. 
It is small but cozy.
We are outside for the most part, anyway.



 



It is fun to feed the longhorns.
This one is my namesake.
She was born the weekend of my 50th birthday party.

She is such a sweetie.

These two are inseparable.

It was a fun and beautiful weekend.

Sprinkled with a weekend of relaxation,
Katie
