Summer camping in Oregon

Soon after I found out that I had thyroid cancer, my Husband and I were on the hunt for a camp trailer. I think it was 2012.  We found one pretty quickly, and man was it ugly! It was a 70's camper, with gold and brown interior so dark, it felt like night, even at midday. The curtains were so thick and heavy, I felt as though I was suffocating. The price was right though, and it had character. This project took my mind off the cancer, and gave me something fun to dream about. So instead of worrying of cancer, my curly head was dreaming of camping.

We fixed it all up many coats of white paint. I made new turquoise vinyl cushions. Steve installed new flooring. I sewed new curtains, and added some finishing touches. Steve took care of all the mechanical issues. We were done. And I was done with my treatment.

Our first trip was fun. Not exactly what I imagined, as we awoke to snow falling! It was crazy! It was beautiful!! It was like a dream...
