I have been hearing Roy Rogers sing that snappy little tune for days now. If I knew how to whistle, I would be whistling it while I work. I have always been a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans fan, though I probably could not come up with any brilliant reasons why. Maybe it was their unassuming way of being humble in the midst of their success, or their fun and flirty style when talking to each other while on camera. I could never image one without the other.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new adventure home! I miss having our Winnabago. It was always packed and ready to hit the trail at a moments notice. I can’t wait to hear about your explorations.
Oh, Rene’ how wonderful! Yeah! She is a cutie! What brand? Once I get Trailer Trash (temp name) fixed this spring we all need to hit the winding roads of Washington. I love the name you chose, maybe you could help me with one. Happy trails to you!!! Until we meet again!

Oh my yeah for you!!! I would be so excited I do not think I could wait past the next weekend. We had an old vintage pop-up camper when our girls were younger. Afraid it was not in the best of shape when I bought it and no matter how much repair we did it would only hold up for about 4 or 5 more years. But we had great time in that camper. I have been eyeing all the vintage campers in the MaryJanes magazines when I get them and on some other blog sites. I also enjoyed making curtains and cushions for our camper as I am sure you are doing. Loved Roy and Dale when I was growing up also, what an awesome idea for your decor. Have fun!
I grew up with Dale & Roy singing on red and yellow colored 78’s or 45 records that my parents gave us … I remember watching them in black & white on Saturday mornings along with the cartoons … I remember our family going to Apple Valley, CA on a vacation & going to see their museum where my sister broke into inconsolable tears at seeing Trigger stuffed in the museum – – that was it for her, she never watched Roy again …
Congrats on the trailer & your new happy trails ahead!
Having been richly blessed with meeting both Dale and Roy as a young woman I can attest to the fact they were real honest hard working hard playing folks. I enjoyed many days swimming in their pool and laughing with them and learning from them with their true gift in sharing stories. I even played with the dog,"Bullet" I loved that the dog could undo invisible ropes that tied my hands. What a gift their presence was to me in my life from that point on. I loved that they adored one another and made such a lovely couple. I appreciated their ability to give to those less fortunate than they themselves were. You can take the people out of the country but the country (farm girl) is always right there within.
Grace,
Thank you for sharing that with me. How special to know that there is a connection.
I was in love with Roy Rogers. I even got his comic book, took it to school and hid it in one of my textbooks and wouldn’t you know I got caught. And I was the "perfect student" who ever did anything wrong! I too would love to have one of the small trailers for camping, Good for you!
I to have acquired a little trailer. Wasn’t road worthy but it’s in our backyard ready for a night’s camping. As Dorthy said, you don’t have to look further than your own backyard for adventure!
