More Dixie Pixie Decorating

Posted on by Cheryl Norman

We’ve been grounded since early March, which has given us a chance to make a few changes to our Dixie Pixie. We removed the blinds from the side windows and had dark window tinting applied. We didn’t change the back window, at least not yet.

The window mural provides privacy while allowing light inside.
For now, we’re keeping the back window blinds.

Next, we settled on a patriotic cotton print for curtains and pillowcases. I sewed them and Butch installed the hardware for the curtains.

It’s a work-in-progress as I bought sufficient fabric for throw pillows, too. We may decide to recover the cushions someday, ya never can tell. Nova approves. She didn’t like the blinds and bent them trying to look outside.

Our Dixie Pixie is ready for a camp out and so are we. We’re meeting family for a week of fun. What better way to visit at a safe distance than camping?

Camp Driveway, anyone?

Posted on by Cheryl Norman

The global Coronavirus quarantine got you down? Is cabin fever consuming you? Then consider this (I can’t take credit for the idea. It came from a Facebook group of fiberglass trailer enthusiasts): #Campdriveway.

Here’s the idea: Let’s have a huge, cross-country, cross-continent Pod Rally. We can name it CAMP DRIVEWAY.
Anyone who has their camper at home, let’s do a sleep-in on Saturday, March 28. We would have the potential of being the biggest rally ever! (For those who don’t have their camper at home, join us anyway!)

It will be so much fun to post pictures of you and your families on social media enjoying this nationwide, continent wide event.


Are you in? See you all next Saturday, March 28! #CAMPDRIVEWAY

Mississippi: A Sure Bet for Fun and Food

Posted on by Cheryl Norman

We recently joined our friends at the Boomtown Casino RV Park in D’Iberville, Mississippi (near Biloxi) for a midweek getaway.

Butch, Judy, and Dave enjoying the mild Gulf Coast weather.

Dixie Pixie had full hookups at the RV Park. We enjoyed walking to nearby casinos and along the bay, getting plenty of fresh air and exercise for us and Nova. The Scarlet Pearl, where we ate our Valentine’s Day dinner, and Pepe’s Bosque Mexican restaurant, where we celebrated Butch’s birthday, were just a short drive away.

Happy birthday, Butch.
An authentic King Cake served as Butch’s birthday cake.

The Gulf Coast was celebrating Mardi Gras, and Casinos were decorated accordingly. While typically associated with New Orleans, Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, Alabama, and is still observed all along the Gulf Coast.

We returned home well rested and well fed!
