So we went camping again with our Ramblin Rose and this time I remembered my good camera.
She is a gem to camp with.
It's so nice to have everything we need, games, cooking supplies, bedding, chairs, first aid etc.
Before, I always would to forget to pack things camping such as, paper towels, knives etc.
Rosie keeps everything we need... except for my good camera hehe.
So this is our finished project!
Our 1957 Honorbuilt Romer.
It took us 5 months to complete, which I must say, is pretty good time.
One of my husbands friends was over and was a little confused as to why
our camper is done up so girly. He kind of thought we should have
used greens and browns and more manly colors in our color scheme.
Greens and browns?!?!!? Gah!
I told him there were two reasons we didn't use "more manly colors".
#1. I bought the paint.
#2. This camper is a woman. "How do you know it's a woman?" he asked.
"Just look at her curves!"I replied with indignation.
He couldn't argue with that.
And truly she would have looked so out of character if she was done up in greens and browns.
I just know she wouldn't be happy about it.
She would probably give us all kinds of trouble instead of being the delightful little gem she is.
Greens and browns! Really, some people have no vision.
I talk like this trailer has a personality. To me she does.
She and I have spent so much time together we've gotten to know each other.
Like the author of a book knows about the characters they write,
each has it's own personality. It is built in with them.
And you can try, but you cannot change that personality.
If you try and force a change... It just won't work.
That's how I feel about Ramblin Rose.
She told me what color she wanted to be painted.
When I was out shopping her voice would pick my brain and say things like,
"That would be perfect fabric for my windows." or "Oh! Look at that cute potato peeler!"
She wasn't super excited for the diamond plating on her front, because it may have been a little too industrial looking. But she became resigned to it because it was sparkly and shiny,
it would protect her paint and it had the word "diamond" in it.
This is who she is. A sassy, classy, darling of a lady.
And so ladies and gents, I present to you...
Ramblin Rose
There will be A LOT of pictures in this post and I will just write a sentence or two above the pictures to explain things. But I promise not to ramble on (pun on Ramblin Rose's name ha!).
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I will just let them do most of the talking here ;-)
