Oh, how I long for this....

For those of you that know me, then you already know that I LOVE fall. It is my favorite season, all the way up to Thanksgiving (which is my favorite holiday). Since I am longing for my favorite season, I have been going thru old pictures of fall on our farm. Take a look.....

Are you ready for fall, or do you prefer to hang on to summer-time as long as you can?? 

I am 4 today

Yes, today is my birthday. It was four years ago tonight that my mama found me in the road and brought me home with her. She was just going to feed me, and find me a good home ........and that is exactly what she did! Do you remember what I looked like when she found me?? Remember, my daddy said I was really ugly? He kept saying that I had a face that only a mother could love!

This is me snuggling with my daddy when they first found me. I started immediately winning him over.

Look at us here. I have him wrapped around my little paw. I even let him take naps on the couch with me. He is so glad he talked my mama into letting me stay with them forever.

As soon as my daddy gets home from work, I am gonna open my presents. Oh, I hope I get lots of new toys, and some tootsie rolls.

She is here!!

If you recall, we ordered a new fifth wheel a while back.  She is beautiful! (yes, it is a she). She arrived about two weeks early, so when the phone call came yesterday saying she was here, it was a huge surprise, but a pleasant one.

This is the third camper we have bought in three years from this dealer, and this salesman, so he had a surprise for me when I got there.

This is the fifth wheel that they had waiting for me when I rounded the corner,  with my camera in hand, to see our new "forever" camper. Our salesman was doubled over from laughing so hard at this prank! He thought it was really cute, because he knew we were so excited about seeing the new camper.
Needless to say, this wasn't it!

They had her pulled around  back so that she could be plugged in and the air on. It was so cool and comfortable inside. This is Mr. Easley, our prankster salesman, and of coarse Sophie, in her new recliner.

She has a rear kitchen, with lots of counter space (for a small camper), and fun decor. I cannot wait to add some personal touches and make her feel "homey" and cozy.

I finally have a sink large enough to wash dishes in whenever needed, and a counter top with enough space to put them to dry. Ya'll know it is the little things that make me happy.

This is hubby scratching his head because he can't find anything to complain about :)

This is a view from the stairs.

Hubby checking out some of the new toys.

Hubby trying to decide where the bedroom tv will be installed. Oh surely you don't think you can go camping unless you have a tv in each room, do ya??

Hubby and Sophie trying to decide if they like the new couch, or their matching recliner's the best?? The couch really is quite comfortable for a "camper" couch. It also lets out into a queen bed :)

Sophie has room to get in the floor and play in this one. See those cabinet doors open under the tv?? It was being measured for the fireplace (big smile).

A queen bed in the bedroom, and I love the fact that the bedroom is off to itself . It can be totally shut off if one of us wants to sleep late :)

Can we please go now??

Unfortunately, we won't get to camp for a while because hubby's truck has not yet been equipped to pull her, so she is still at the dealership. That will all be taken care of Wednesday, and we will bring her home next week-end. She will be stocked immediately with all of her belongings, and hopefully taken out for her first camping trip really soon.
