I walked by the sofa today and there's Oscar in his "I'm really a cat in a dog-suit" pose, curled up on the arm, and giving me a disgusted look. He then proceeds to tell me it's about time I made an entry about the great Bluebonnet Casita Rally we attended in Bandera, TX. He's right, I've procrastinated too long, so here it is . . . Now hush up, you insufferable little dog!One of the largest gatherings of fiberglass trailers is the annual Texas Bluebonnet Casita Rally, held each spring in Bandera, Texas. Seeing old friends and meeting new friends is what it's all about.
Ya gotta get there early to get a good spot. This is about what it looked like several days before the rally officially kicked off . . . EGGVILLE!
We set up camp, after arriving from our recent trip to Arkansas.
It's always interesting to see the different motifs proudly displayed on the trailers.
This one even came with a mother-in-law room addition. LOLAs we passed this one, Oscar said "Hey Pete, get a load of that rear window!"
Trying not to laugh at his unintentional wordplay, I distracted the little dog by guiding him towards some different types of trailers . . .
While Casita's naturally had the vast majority of participants, there were the occasional outliers, such as the Vintage Bigfoot, above, that came with it's own mascot, and the Oliver, below, with a St George's cross flying high on a uniquely flexible flagpole. (Its owners had a slight accent, of course!)
Oscar had enough of looking at trailers and got right down to making himself at home, doing what he does best . . . relaxing . . . poor guy looks a bit stressed out here, NOT!!!!!!!!
He managed to wrangle a dog biscuit out of a new BFF. "YUM!"
Oscar gave this yard high marks for the greenery and lighting accents.
Poor little dog, gets no luvin' . . .
Surrounded by all his gal pals, Oscar was one Happy Camper
Speaking of Happy Campers, this Casita appears to be a close cousin to The Wonder Egg, sporting a fine smiley face as it travels on down the road.
It's a unique experience to hang out a few short days with 140 other fiberglass trailers. Meeting, greeting, eating, fishing, laughing, and looking forward to the next rally. Life is GOOOOOOOOOD!

Hi Pete,
Glad to hear you are both still out and about in the camper. When Isabella tries the cat routine we say that she is "channeling her inner kitty cat". Her favorite way to do that is to climb up on the back of the chair you're sitting in, just like cats do. Her balance is amazing!
We haven't gotten out yet, hope to go on the 4th of July long weekend. Still working on some camper repairs at the moment.
Best regards from Isabella the Italian Greyhound and her pack (Pamela and Bill)
