Yay! We get to stay in beautiful New York until Memorial Day! Here's what the campsite looks like now.  Unfortunately this campground isn't a "full hookup" so we had to tear down to dump tanks and set up again. Boy is that a job! Anyway, I just HAD TO hang up a clothes line and jazz it up a bit with colorful samples of fabric. Jon doesn't understand the necessity...lol! Now to figure out how to hide unsightly items being stored under the rig.  Hmmmmm.... :)

How was everyone's Mother's Day? I had an awesome day with friends and family, then visited Niagara Falls on Monday. We enjoyed an exhilarating ride on the 'Maid of the Mist'. We highly recommend this experience!  It looks like we may have to store the old girl and put off further renovations for the summer....boo!  More updates to come.... Happy RV'ing! :

Rainy day sets us back a day or so setting up camp. :(

I LOVE that this duvet cover has ample room to fit a 8" thick futon mattress! :)

I love love love this new faucet!  It has a pull-out AND soap dispenser!  Yippee!  :)
Wheeew!  Well we actually got the ol' girl from Michigan to Upstate NY with only a blown cab heater.  Yeah, it was COLD!  We had to stop several times to park and turn on the propane/heater but eventually made it safe and sound!  We have finished replacing the faucets and adding a few more decorative touches.  The dinette bench cushions have been replaced with outdoor furniture cushions from Meiers in Michigan and the jackknife sofa cushions were replaced with a comfy 8" futon mattress, covered with my favorite duvet cover.  Wahlah!  It looks like a new RV!  (At least on the inside).  Now to get the "NEW" awning and propane heater to work correctly (unrolling the awning would be awesome and having a heater that didn't sound like a helicopter on your head would be nice).  Beware of some of these RV repair techs!  Aaaagh!  Still happier with our little home on wheels than we were before tho! :)
