Lil Loafer partly restored

Here's a recent picture of our trailer

Afternoon Snow

There we were, just passing the time as usual and almost without warning, it starts snowing. I hadn't been listening to the news, so I didn't expect it. A friend told me he had heard that it might snow and I thought he was joking.
Snow can be fun, but the timing of this one made rush hour into a total mess. Stephen left work at 3:30pm and didn't get home till 7:30pm. And it's only about 12-14 miles.
Today, it's warmer but the snow is still lingering on the ground and will likely be here for a couple of more days.

Christmas with our 8 grandkids

It was great to have the whole gang over and we took a lot of pictures. I just wanted to get this one up for all to see.

Picture of a restored trailer like mine

I mentioned that I was going to post a picture of my itty bitty trailer, but I haven't been able to get the wires to work between my phone and my computer. However (and you are so lucky), I was able to find a picture of a restored 1960's Li'l Loafer.

My latest adventure

OK, so I am easily distracted by just about anything. Down the street, a neighbor named Rod had a 1960's Aristocrat Travel Trailer called the Lil-Loafer. The whole thing is maybe 12-13' long and the living quarters are 9.5' long. That includes a kitchen, dining, sleeping, and storage (no bathroom, but an area where they hung a roll of toilet paper). I paid him $200 for the little wonder and hooked it up to my old Suburbasaurus and towed it back home. It weighs less than 1,000 lbs. so I hardly knew it was there. Carol (God Bless Her), has learned that I need an occasional diversion and that they don't always turn out bad. I reasoned that I could tow this behind my van and save on hotel bills. Who am I kidding? But, really, if I go to an area, I could stay at a campground for about $30 per night. I cannot get a hotel for that. We'll see. The trailer has been neglected and came to our house covered with moss and crud and nearly flat tires. After I got into it, and gave it a good scrubbing, it looked a little better. I am confident it will one day shine with all its hidden beauty. Pictures to follow.
