More Camping 101

This idea is genius. 

When we first started Camping we had a tent. It gets quite dark at night in most campgrounds,and a late night trip to the campground bathroom could be hazardous even with a flashlight. I remember one such night coming back in the dark and tripping over one of the tent stakes. From a tent we moved up to a Motor Home,but there were still things to stumble over in the dark. When I saw this at one of the camp sites I thought how brilliant. They had placed solar lights around so they could see where their tie downs were,and other things they wanted to avoid falling over. We have now moved up to a 5th wheel and I am going to get a few solar lights to put out when we camp not only for safety but so we can find our campsite in the dark.

Ribbon Wreath

This is a really cute idea. Take a metal coat hanger and bend it to make a circle. Gather several different spools of colored grosgrain ribbon in solis,or patterns and cut into strips. Tie the strips on the hanger,until you fill the whole circle. If you like you can add a monogrammed letter painted to match the colors of the ribbon you chose. Hang it on your front door to welcome Spring.

Finishing Touches

This morning John called and made all the arrangements to get the truck equipped and to pick up the 5th wheel on Friday. I was shocked that it happened so quickly. Now it's my turn to get busy so with list in hand I headed to the store to pick up the last few items we needed,mostly staples. I'm sure once we get it and put everything away I'll find things I still need to get. For now though I think I'm done.

Next on the agenda is planning a few trips. 

More Egg Decorating

I have always wondered how some dyed Easter Eggs have those deep bright hues,that you just can't get with those egg dye kits. No matter how long I'd leave the egg in the dye it never got a deep hue. Well I never thought about using food coloring until I saw this. I am definately going to try it this year.

I love the deep dark colors. I think a basket with a mixture of both the ligh colored eggs and the darker ones would look great as a centerpiece.
