Here we go, another Christmas Campie, fully decked out, including a happy little visitor- Charlie the cat! The owner writes that as soon as she was finished decorating, her cat came and sat down on the chair not moving away. Even the little animals seem to enjoy the special touches and love that goes into getting things decorated with heart.

It is again a late night, so I shall keep it short and sweet with this post today. I hope you had a great day!

Our town is full of excitement and buzz with Canada's new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holding his first cabinet meeting in our little town of 2500.     St. Andrews is filled with police, media and security. Today when we went ice skating, the police was already parked outside the rink as there was a spaghetti dinner meet and greet for the towns people with Mr. Trudeau and his cabinet members. Many photos are proudly shared now on facebook, I opted to stay home with the kids, being more of the introvert kind and after seeing the crowds when he arrived at the Algonquin.

Anyhow, time to call it a day... thanks for stopping by! And see you tomorrow again with a new campie portrait!          Simone

Today is Sunday, so I thought of painting this sunny looking Shasta. First I thought is is the retro-kind because of its almost perfect dent-free siding, but looking at the windows, I think it is a wonderfully restored vintage.

For any of you that are looking for the vintage look without the 'hidden surprises' lurking- checking into the Shasta Airflyte re-issue is for you! They are highly in demand and much liked for so many good reasons, you can see an article about them here. On another note, my dear husband finished building the storage for my 'Little Wings' today, so tomorrow it should finally be ready to move into its winter home. We have a very windy, rainy, gusty day out there today and they expect more of it in the coming hours.

It's getting late again, so I keep it short and sweet today, thank you all for stopping in and I hope to see you tomorrow again with another camper!

Thank you, Happy Sunday to you from St. Andrews!                Simone
