When I ask my hubby or kids how would you spell a certain word... they kindly tell me there's no such word, but there is because I use it! <br />Have fun using it and think of me when you do.Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-8458238233209896232016-05-12T11:01:07.895+01:002016-05-12T11:01:07.895+01:00Now I can understand you needing a camper to head ...Now I can understand you needing a camper to head off into the sunrise for Aussie adventures across that vast land Julie. <br />On the original card the windows do have lacey type curtains... just just the paper towel cover hides not only my sister and BIL's image, but the curtains too. <br />Good luck with your travels and I'd love to hear all about it and see your photos.

We walked into that camp loop, stood (or Sat) by the fire and listened awhile! My folks both had celtic heritage, and it was magical!<br />I do dream of having a little Glamper set up as an art studio, or a lovely Airstream!! Our church has an annual campout, and my son-in law is good at putting up tents and cooking, so it's still fun once or twice a year (at 65, I like having a cot for my sleeping bag and pad!!)

We lived in Dry country, so at first, with a tarp on the ground, and one as a wind break. Then a tent trailer, ....my dad had a time with tent poles, and my mom and I stayed out of his way! Then they got a small trailer, and we'd camp in that. I loved the woods and the camp fire, no so much carrying water from a pump, or just the grit (dry was also kind of sandy.) <br />For several years I lived at a hit springs retreat center in the woods, best of what I enjoyed about camping (nature, lots of silence, friendly people) AND hot mineral water tubs, meals cooked by kitchen staff, sleeping in my own comfy bed.... heaven!<br />Nadyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730124015853971661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-9362835797822972822016-05-09T05:03:42.652+01:002016-05-09T05:03:42.652+01:00I love that term, Julie!

The story about the caravanning has put a huge grin on my face. And your picture of your sister's new one is precious. Love the colors. I am like you. None for me...and definitely NO tenting for me. I have left that up to my hiking husband. Great story you shared with us. I can just see those caravaners poke, poke poking up a hill and you stuck behind and in a hurry. That is like me in my rental car in Ireland when I would get behind a lorie (spelling) on curvy narrow roads.geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-66956723209309201122016-05-08T17:40:58.670+01:002016-05-08T17:40:58.670+01:00What an awesome card!

Sometimes I think it would be neat to get a nice silver Airstream and just take off across America, alas money, time and job. Oh well, a girl may dream, right?! Happy Sunday to Scotland!<br />Oh, I forgot - your sketch is super.

And nothing better (and cheaper)to go travelling than with a caravan! <br />I love your little van and you could have added a little lace curtain on the windows, that would have been really cute!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383246505358470711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-18890568391143437012016-05-07T19:23:26.246+01:002016-05-07T19:23:26.246+01:00Great card and I'm sure they will love it.I lo...Great card and I'm sure they will love it.I love camping !
