My latest trip was in March and April, 2011. I had purchased a small camper trailer-sight unseen- before I made the trip. My son-in-law, Scott picked the trailer up for me and towed it to a friend's place where they were gracious enough to let me store it. I had my daughter take some pictures of it and send them to me so I would know what to expect when I got out there. While she was taking photos, my grandson, Danny, was wandering around inside and as my daughter say it, "His little wheels were turning overtime as he was deciding just where all the electronics like TV, game consoles, etc. would go". He was heard saying things like, "Papa could cut a hole in this cupboard and mount the TV so I could lay here in bed and work my games." He was full of ideas and when I heard about it, I sent him a letter inviting him to have a sleep-over with me when I got out there and he could explain all his ideas to me. In no time at all, I got a return letter from him saying that he had talked it over with his parents and it would be fine for us to do that.
On sleep-over day, Danny packed his clothes and tooth brush etc. and armed himself with a backpack of DVDs. He planned out enough DVDs so that we would have to stay up to at least midnight. Well, it was a good plan anyway!! So after supper and a walk around the country side, we folded the table down and made up his bed. We actually did watch quite a few movies but I was a little surprised when decided it was time to go to sleep.
The fold down table bed was just right for him as another movie put us to sleep. We both slept like logs but Danny did mention the next morning that he thinks he heard something in the middle of the night that sounded like snoring. I wonder what that could have been?
We were both very refreshed in the morning so another DVD was in order to be viewed along with breakfast. I cooked up his favourite breakfast - well, I guess I'm not sure if it was his favourite or not but it sure is mine - PANCAKES! With real butter, pure maple syrup, and a big glass of orange juice, what could be better. I'm just glad that Danny used pure maple syrup instead of ranch dressing.
But then, that's another story............

I was just getting to the end of the post, wondering how in the world you could leave out the story of the ranch dressing! But you're right...that's a whole different story! Ah, memories.
