Hubby was off last weekend so we took a little trip. Our first stop was an RV recycling and parts place in Centralia. It was kind of a bust for us
We had lunch at the Olympic Club in Centralia. Great history with a hotel, restaurant and theatre. A little junkin' after lunch and we were on our way.
Our destination was Jeremy and Rene's float house on the Lewis River. The girls were out to greet us when we drove up.
Best welcome ever!
Staying on a float house is a bit like a cruise; however, you're going no where but still on the water. This was good for me because I do have a history with boating. Remember these trips? Fraught. With. Danger. Staying on the dock here, here and here and then getting out there.
Sheryl, Shelly and Chris, I did ask Jeremy to explain his electrical system.
It is so much fun on the dock and we must have looked like we were have fun because these guys going past on their boat couldn't resist stopping and introducing themselves.
Y'all know how graceful I am. It was a modern day miracle that I made it to our cottage safely the entire weekend as it was on a separate dock.
After a fat boy breakfast on Saturday morning we put on our barn boots, and crossed the road for the trailer tour. It is impossible to decide on a favorite. Jeremy and Rene have started Down River Trailers.
Jeremy and Rene with their new babies! It's not a complete family picture though as Tin Lizzie is parked in storage and the Jewel is in the shop.
We went to visit Jewel and I fell in love. She has a lot of potential, so I can't wait to see what they do with her. And she has a pretty, pink stove and fridge.
We drove into town for a craft show and lunch. Someone spotted a Cardinal in the blackberries. Hit the brakes and turn around!
Then it was back for a great evening of Jeremy's home brewed beer, playing corn hole and the best brisket, ever.
Thank you Jeremy and Rene for a wonderful weekend! We had the best time and it was fun to meet your new trailers too.

Love your blog! Love your recipes and your vintage-preloved-repurpose-reuse style. Most of all, I love how you share your love for your family and friends and your devout Christian beliefs.
I found your blog about a month ago when looking for photos shown to me by a co-worker (your hubby) after a conversation we had about vintage trailers. Mr. "R" had shown me your Aloha project after my very dear and well meaning dad had convinced me not to purchase a vintage Bambi. I thought I was searching for a project website and it turned out to be your blog. What a nice surprise!
I hope to meet you someday at an SOTF event. God bless you for sharing so much of your life.
Kind regards,
Kathy (#7528)
