If he would only stop talking before he thinks! The terrible things he says are very hurtful. 

Therefore, I am planning my first camping trip in Prairie Flower. I was putting some provisions inside her, and someone locked herself out. I don't have an outdoor equipment compartment that someone small might gain entrance.

I pondered the situation for a day or two... wah!!

U tube is my friend, after some research I discovered some ideas.

How to pick a lock. It looks easy enough, but haven't tried it. They also suggested that trying to use other keys that may open the lock, a very similar key could do the trick.

I didn't know if I had an extra key, problem.

If I had to, I could remove the window from the door. Not out of choice, but I know how to do it. I do know someone who had to do it.

We have a stash of all kinds of keys, so it took them to try the other key option.

There were more than 4 keys that could open the door.

My good news is that I found my trailer key.  Within that mass of keys, I had actually put a tag on it!!! Good Luck!!!

My lesson is that I need to replace the entrance lock, for my security, and add a deadbolt.

If this ever happens again, I know something that will help.

Emotional Intelligence and Dementia

 

My dilemma...

You can't build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks emotional intelligence. It's not your responsibility to teach someone how to take accountability, apologize, or treat you with respect. These qualities are the foundation of a healthy connection - these are not extras, and they are certainly not negotiable.

Redman Picnic Basket

 

Redman Picnic Basket, Circa 1950s. The age is about 70 years. This is a large picnic hamper made of woven wood with metal handles, the colors are a red and green plaid. It has a little shelf to create 2 levels, the lower one is the pie holder. The "Redman Basket Peru Ind USA" is still on it, and in excellent condition, the sticker inside is interesting. In fact, the company owners' name is Redmon...but the basket is Redman.

We found this unique picnic basket while junking in Las Vegas. A wonderful find, and for a reasonable price. My daughter purchased this...of course. She uses it to store her hobby materials. Very clever!

Vintage thrifting is difficult in Las Vegas, the history of the population is the reason. This was a small town before the 1950's when gambling was introduced. There were not many people who lived there, and may have possessed these vintage items. I don't see much, I look for vintage Christmas, and rarely find anything.

There are only 2 antique shops in the town. I don't even find vintage turquoise jewelry.
