that restoring a small trailer is just a new way to pour
your heart into a canvas; just a moving one with white
wall tires!
Ruby’s maiden voyage was another life-changing
adventure for us. Cory and I took a trip on Route 66 from
Cadillac ranch in Amarillo, Texas all the way to California.
The trip lasted for sixteen glorious days and we got so
many amazing photos. We hit every state park with my
favorite place being Sedona, Arizona. It brought back
so many childhood memories, but the campouts have
gotten even better now that I can put Bailey’s onto my
marshmallows!
My big trip and the first time I ever pulled a trailer alone
was to Round Top Texas for Antiques Week, where I stayed
on the Junk Gypsies from HGTV’s property behind their
store. I had been so honored to be the featured trailer for
the Junk Gypsies “Junk-o-Rama Prom” ads. Also this is
where I got to meet Lisa of Vintage Trailer Magazine who
I now consider my precious friend.
Ruby is now parked in our retreat center in Brownfield
and will be used as accommodation for our guest
speaker’s overnight stays. My husband loves to take naps
in it, my daughter loves to read books in it and I just love
to watch everyone’s reaction when they see her for the
first time.
My gypsy caravan truly is my dream come true.
