OUR FINAL CAMPER, KARI ARRIVES! THE HAPPY CAMPER CAMPOREE IS NOW COMPLETE!

Greetings, dear campers!

Welcoming Kari of DharmaWaits and her beautifully pink 1957 Airfloat Camper!

Here she is with her little bandana'ed gal in the doorway and one of my favorite little cowpokes sitting outside! Don't you just LOVE the cherry blossoms and tulips? One thing I LOVE about the airfloat campers is the round "porthole" windows...Kari made clear FLOWERED windows...aren't they just adorable?

(By the way, the little cowpoke on the rock is my niece Emileigh...she is now home from East Africa and is preparing to go to college in Springfield, Mo. HOORAY for little cowpokes who grow up to be cowgirls for missions!)

I will be rounding up all the campers and ribbons and get them rolling from the campground to your prospective homes...let me just say I have THOROUGHLY ENJOYED being your Campground Host and hope you will come back again to visit the Happy Camper Campground! Rumor has it that there will be another "hootenany" of a tag swap coming up soon! Stay tuned!

Now let's all gather around the campfire for a good ol' fashioned sing-a-long, homemade ice cream and smores with those giant marshmallows of Sandy's! The chuckwagon will be open all night! WOOHOO!

I see "E" has out her harmonica...let's all join in for a rousing round of "Happy Trails"...

Happy trails to you, until we meet again...

happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

And now let's all recite together, the Roy Rogers Rider Club rules:

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Your Loving Campground Host,
