We all dressed up as Queens’ of our choice, I was South of the Border Queen….representing those places on us that seem to go South as we age.  It was a real hoot and we walked down into the little town and run into a wedding with a band and ended up dancing for a bit!

  2. Karen, I've decided my trailer will be "The Tiger Den" in honor of my high school, Jerome, Idaho. Now I just have to find one, find a car that will haul it, and start decorating!
