Why do people say don’t play with your food? It’s fun to make a happy face with food.

Alan and I were just watching the Travel channel. It was a program called RV Crazy and we must have just caught the end of it. It was about teardrop trailers. I have never heard of them until today. I have probably seen one on the road and had no idea what it was.

So what is a teardrop trailer? Well…it’s like a mini RV. You tow it behind your car. Inside is a bed. The teardrops on the program were all customized. They showed a pink one that had an Elvis theme, one that had a spacey out of the world theme painted with blacklight paints, and ones that had cooking areas in the back trunk. I instantly thought: oh how fun! I want one. I immediately did a search on the internet and found someone who makes them. I explored the site and someone has even customized theirs with an entertainment center, flat panel TV and DVD player!

But then the impulse of oh I WANT one sort of petered out because I remembered…I don’t go camping. So why would I buy one?

How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
The one with the waggely tail
How much is that doggy in the window
Woof woof
I do hope that doggy’s for sale …

This little guy is going into an envelope and into the mailbox for a ride over to Helen’s soon. Very very soon but not quite yet. He’s waiting for a friend to join him and maybe something to eat.

Update: This is Scamp from Jean Greenhowe’s book MacScarecrow Clan.

I finished another dog. I used furry yarn this time since Helen has three white furry dogs. This little guy is so furry you can barely see his dog shape. I had to trim his little face a little to see his eyes and nose. And you can barely see his ears. His head is just this furry shape and the ears are like two more furry projections.

So he’s going in the envelope. But they’ll need a bite to eat so I made some bones, a bowl and a travel bag to hold it all.
