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.
