I met an old friend today! A real old friend! Thought I was gonna cry.

I drive to a Costco, half hour away from me and as I pull in, there is this little white and yellow trailer.

Wow! That looks just like the trailer we had when I was a kid. I park and get out and walk past the lady sitting in the truck hooked to the trailer and start eying it over. Same color...my dad had painted it this God awful yellow stripes to match his truck. Same windows, same dents, same duct tape marks! It was my beloved friend! The lady is looking out her window wondering what in the blazes is going on. My DH explains and the lady gets out and says "No way, that is cool!" I tell her what the insides look like and she is amazed! Tell her a few of my camping stories (like why I ending up sleeping in the closet ) and the history of the trailer. I find that the trailer is now loved by a family with two little girls that love the beach!

The lady probably thinks I am weird for I hugged my old friend good-bye with tears in eye.

Ah! Good times! Good times!
