3 Projects to Beat the Wintertime Blues
Monday, January 29, 2018
Right now, it is 23 degrees, windy and very grey outdoors. Even if I wanted to go outdoors and do a little work on Peggy Sue, it is too cold. While we are going to be taking her to the dealership for our new canvas to be installed, that is as much as we are going to do to her during this month. I'm hoping for some warmer winter weather in February. Sometimes in Mississippi, that happens. I can dream about and wish for it. But while I wait, there are some projects that can be done indoors while dreaming of the smells of an evening campfire.

Camping at Legion State Park in Louisville, MS |
As soon as our family bought our pop up camper, I joined a group on Facebook for pop up camper owners. The camping community can be very inclusive. But, camping can be a lonely interest when you don't have friends that share your interest in camping. None of my tribe of friends at home like to camp. In fact, they would admit that they like not camping. And that is okay. It isn't for everyone, but it is for our family.

Growing up, I traveled out west with my family each summer. One summer, driving across Texas my sister and I fell asleep with our feet in the windows and woke up to sunburned feet. What family vacation memories are burned into your mind forever? Is it a National Lampoon series of unfortunate events or the trip of a lifetime that you feel that you can never recreate?

Peggy Sue, before her remodel! |
Did you buy a used camper like we did? Even if you bought your camper new and had it for several years, there are always things that you need to do for basic maintenance. These things will keep you safe on the road and help you to make the most out of your camping trips. We did a few minor things last year that make me feel better every time we take a trip.

Foil packet meals can be easily customized for any taste and with the proteins and vegetables, you have on hand. |
How do you tackle meals while camping? Do you cook all of your meals and stay in? Or do you like to venture out and explore the local cuisine? It's a toss-up. And, it all comes down to budget and the camping experience that you want to have.
