�EDITOR'S RAVE�
We’re six years old!
Pull out your petticoats and tiaras and let’s party!

ere I sit with this; the 33rd
issue of a Magazine that was
first published in May 2011.
It’s hard to believe that it’s our birthday
again already!
I’ve very much enjoyed watching Spring
do its things outside my windows and
admiring the rows of pink bursting cherry
blossoms that line the entire main street
of my little not-very-bustling Oregon
town at the moment.
It feels like an upcoming celebration is in
the air. Spring reminds me that summer
is coming…
I had a very special surprise when I first
got back. After a big sleep I opened
my bedroom curtains on my very first
morning back to the sight of snow
covered Oregon Pines (that I’ve been told
are more correctly known as Douglas Firs)
in the forest behind my house. Big, fluffy
flakes of softly were floating down in e
steady flow of snow that sat thickly on
the ground for the next day and night.
And this was in March! In a place that,
during my previous time here, hadn’t

vital moments of solitude,

magnets for some incredible
conversations and meetings.
They can be even more fun
when you’re camping in one
beside other fun-loving vintage trailer
enthusiasts who “get it” too. But, in the
lead up to a summer ahead of all that, I’m
very much enjoying “home alone time”
right now as I create this sixth birthday
issue. As I blow out six candles my wish
at the start of the busy camping season is
for all of us is this:
May all of our days be filled with a happy
balance of succulent solitude and joyous
times sharing our cozy trailer spaces with
those newfound best friends who also
seem to have an awful lot of fun dressing
up, behaving semi-badly (in the spirit of
good old-fashioned fun) whilst enjoying
the beauty of the great outdoors as much
as we do.
See you out there in the woods!

Crazy road trips and camping are a big part
of where my happiness lies, but it sure is
nice to have a home to come back to.
I’ve had some of the best moments of my
