Lady Tear Droppers, drop in and say "Hello"!

[mandy]

I've been a member for several months and just realized I had not introduced myself to the Ladies. I did give a "50 Cent Tour" in the newbies section.

I'm Judy. Retired last November from the USPS and love retirement. I've driven vintage VWs for 30 years and done all my camping with other VWers. But my busses are over 40 years old and, frankly, I get a bit anxious whenever I go on a trip. The little Puck will allow me to camp with the Toyota.

My Reba is just 9ft long and cute as can be. I love decorating her and showing her off. She's suppose to be in a film shoot this Saturday, but the forecast is for rain. We'll see.

I'm hoping to make the December Myrtle Beach campout. I will be down there in November and will scope out the park as I'll be next door at Pirate Land. It would be my first non-VW camping since the National Guard.

Welcome to the Lady Teardropers Thread Judy I just love the styling of the Puck. I bet you have to do a lot of tours cause people have never seen one before.

Notice Pam Wright and her lacey eye protection!!! (See what I mean?)

When was this and what sad excuse did I give to not be able to attend?

This was ITG2.0 All the women teardrop builders got together for a photo op! (I'm the one on the right back, with drill and duck tape! Can't build a teardrop without duck tape!) Had to drag us in front of the camera...but once we got there...
Ok, maybe not!

Ok someone sent this to me today. I thought you would all enjoy it.
Mermaid or a Whale

Recently, in large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin
and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said: THIS
SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?

A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match
those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the
question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern:

Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions,
curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant
and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with
dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in
the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea
and the coral reefs of Polynesia.

Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are
humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone
in the world.

Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up
outside the offices of psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish
or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get
close to them not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore
they don't have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close
to a girl who smells like a fish store?

The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that
only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice
cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver
and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time we gain weight
because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads
that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of
our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured,
educated, and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will
think, "Goodness, look how smart I am!"

I love it!!

The only time this mermaid will kill a man is if he takes a photo of my whale butt!

I'm doing better this week. Have you been camping lately? It is so stinkin' hot over here it makes camping miserable. I want some cool weather so bad...

We are heading to Fort Clinch for the weekend...leaving tomorrow. It's supposed to be decent weather. It's always a bit cooler at the beach.

I'm afraid that camping season is over for me. Its getting too cold in the mountains. Even in the summer the mountains are cold at night.

Ouuu, one of my favorite campgrounds! I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time. Take some pictures and share with us.

I forget you don't have a Teardrop to enjoy those cool nights in. Winter is when our camping really gets started here.

A few years ago, before I had the Teardrop, I camped in my 14x14 cabin tent -- really nice and big but the weekend we camped, it must have been in the 40's and the wind was blowing really hard. I slept in long johns, pajama's, a skull cap and sweat pants in my sleeping bag. I looked like the Goodyear Blimp with all those clothes on. It was so damn cold with that wind blowing. It didn't stop those annoying raccoons from harassing us. I swore one of them was trying to unzip my tent and get in. He was probably cold too.

Like I have said in other threads... I hate wind. I better start saving to build the TD cause the wind destroyed my two room cabin tent.

Gracious sakes..... It has been forever since I took the time to get caught up with everybody!!!!! What beautiful trailers are making their debut's!!!!

Welcome to all the new lady Teardroppers! Yes, as Lynn said, and as many of you know, I spent the last three years camping with Brandie, my beautiful granddaughter..... She's now 13, will be 14 this next June and I have to schedule time to camp with her! She has a life now! However, we have done many miles together and will hopefully continue to! With 12-18" snow this last week, we won't be camping again for a while!

My winter project is to insulate the "Cherry Drop".... Shelly had left over insulation when she made her move from Colorado Springs to Minot, which she shared with me! Now I need to get busy cutting and glueing. TRUST ME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO HAVE DONE IT WHEN WE FIRST BUILT HER, but I didn't know that at the time !!!!

Mandy, it's time girl to start putting away some "building materials"!!!! Becky and Auntie M, it's great to see your faces!

I'll try to write more..... but I do lurk often!!!!

It's about time you show up Pamela! I've asked about your whereabouts a few times...I thought you didn't love us anymore. Just kidding! My best friend lives in Idaho Springs, CO and her daughters live in Denver and I called to see if they were snowed in. Ya'll got slammed really hard. All I want is some weather below 90 and ya'll are freezing your tushees off. Stay warm and safe. Good to see you again.
