  Well... here it is... Spring again.  Time to get Lillie ready for this summer's Camping Trips-s-s-s-s.  I say that in plural because I'm definitely gonna do a LOT more camping this year than I did last year.
  The reason why is because I retired in Dec 2013 on a Friday... and on Saturday we were entries into our cities Lighted Farm Impliment Parade.   I and my companions were decked out in our pink scarves & gloves and gold jingle bells in hand and Lillie was decked out in lights and tinsel.
My Sis... My Mom... My BFF... & Me.
 

The Grinch was strolling the Ave and gave me a squeeze....
Our 3rd Place trophy for Antique Cars & Trucks Pre 1950.   Lillie is a 1959...so I suppose they figured I qualified.   We had a lot of fun although by the end of the parade... our fingers were frozen.
 Lillie was then put up on the lawn and that's where she's been parked ever since.  My lawn mowing guy had to mow around her last weekend.   Today I finally hooked her up and pulled her off the lawn... I plan to give her insides a good cleaning and another stain/sealer on all the wood.  She is gonna even get some bling.
