Where does the time go? Another week has passed with many small tasks done. Here is what transpired this past week.
We continue getting the trailer ready to use. Pam has been attending to cleaning and stocking and I have been applying myself to fixing the mechanical issues we have found.
We started to assemble trailer essentials –such as plates, cooking gear, towels, bed linens- much of it from our own stored boxes. Now we need to find a place for everything.We even dug out our “old” tin Blueware from above-the-garage storage and will be using some of it when we are at the mountain location.
Starting to add “stuff” to trailer
Pam is taking on cleaning one section at a time. Here are her tools set up to begin working in the kitchen.
A thorough cleaning is in order.
Much to do, including lining the drawers and cupboards with paper.

The bedroom is staring to look nice. Mounty Moose feels right at home.
Mounty Moose fits right in
Mounty Moose came from one of our visits to Victoria, British Columbia, and wears a Canadian Mounty uniform. He’s one of Pam’s favorites and we hope he travels well! M. Moose is joined by Elinor’s crochet beige/tan throw, a perfect weight for cooler mountain nights.
On the mechanical side, I replaced a couple of light lenses, mounted the new left-rear stabilizer jack, fixed all 4 shades that were inoperative, adjusted some door hardware, and fixed the latch on the bedroom screen door. Found a few more items to fix such as the blower for the bathroom vent and one of the bathroom towel holders. Still, mostly minor stuff; the trailer appears to have been pretty well kept. (I have not found an oven knob, though, but will keep looking!)
We had a cold weather spell, below freezing, a couple of nights last week. More of the same is on the forecast; next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights are all going to be below freezing. Because of this I have not put water in the trailer’s fresh water tanks to test the water system. We had covered some flower beds in the yard and will do the same this coming week. Winter just won’t let go.
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!
Looking good in that camper!
I remember the blue tin ware. I actually thought you were still using it (daily). Boy, if you have enough household goods to stock your camper, I am thinking you have more “stuff” than I do now days. Good you didn’t get rid of it!
Were the dogs dozing in the camper while Pam was cleaning?
looks like you two are getting stuff done!
very nice 🙂
love the blue bed quilt
very pretty 🙂
