Thrifty Camping in Re Run Red


Gas prices are high ~ so lots of folks will be taking
their vacations closer to home. Here's an idea I shared
with you last summer ~ backyard camping.




In Re Run Red of course. By now ya'll must know how
much I love red! So grab a vintage thermos and a
vintage coffee pot to brew coffee on the campfire.



As the sun sinks slowly in the west, I'll be dreaming of
thrifty holidays.

Hop on over and visit ~

and

Bentley and I are postponing our What's for Dinner Party
until a later date. We will keep you posted.
Bentley says Woof to Y'all!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

  5. Oh Susan Sweetie...
    How much fun would this be? I love seeing the little tent propped up and how cute are the lights. Just camping out back with the critters.

    Great idea, and yes gas is way to HIGH, especially when you have a truck. Eats it I tell you.

    I bet Bentley would have a blast camping out. Isn't it amazing how much better everything tastes cooked outdoors on a Coleman camp stove, in an iron skillet of course.

    That might be fun to do with the kids. We have already been fighting the mosquitoes here, so we would need a netting of some sort.

    Have a great week sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  16. It's been raining here for a week now! OH MY, NO camping here without a slicker,hehe! BUT I DO miss the perked coffee over a campfire. "LOVE,LOVE,LOVE" that!!! The smell is intoxicating... Love your post, it's so much fun...NOW I'm off to Round Up a cup of Java! Hey maybe I'll have it in a TIN CUP!
    Hugs,

  18. I am so happy to view Re Run Red, such a clever name! Your backyard camping adventure is so FUN and I adore your vintage camping accessories. The Scotch cooler brings back memories from the 1950's. This would be a great idea for when the grandsons visit me this summer. We may have to try it for ONE night....LOL.

  21. What a wonderful red vintage camping trip! Unfortunately we have had rain for 45 of the past 54 days. We would be swimming instead of camping!

  22. Hi there, I am calling by today as I am busy catching up with all the blogs I missed reading while I was away, especially other Outdoor Wednesday participants. Red is my favourite colour as well. :)
