Glamping? Never been. Camping, yes I have. Not so often in my later years, but when I was a younger woman, I remember living the whole summer at Yosemite in California. My family went there every summer we lived in California to enjoy the great outdoors and we took two great big Army tents, Army cots (boy they were hard to put together on the last end) wash tubs for clothes and dishes, plenty of summer wear, games to play outdoors, hiking boots, swimsuits, dishes, food, oil lanterns for nights, just everything we would need to stay a while. My dad would go into town to buy supplies when we would run low on something, but we never went home early. It was the most memorable time of my life. I remember the whole family being there, mom, dad, dad’s mother, my two brothers and their wives and my 2 half brothers, grandma’s friend, mom’s brothers and sisters would sometimes show up, our dog Ginger, my husband and some other friends of ours who would show up and visit with us. It was the most memorable time of my life when family gatherings were often and meant a lot to a lot of people. Miss those wonderful days.

We love taking our vintage teardrop trailer out to enjoy God’s creation! We always have passersby who want a little look inside or check out the “kitchen” area. Your book might help add a little more glamour to our camping experience!

I discovered your magazine (ordered for myself, and have given two gift subscriptions) after stumbling on Sisters on the Fly somewhere on the internet, and shortly thereafter became a vintage trailer owner: A 1968 Aladdin that was in pretty good shape. It got new shoes, plumbing, a new water tank, fridge, sway bars, electric brake hook up, and I made all the cushions and the matching scalloped awning on a vintage Singer Featherweight 221. Taking it out next week to the Oregon coast!

I tent camp but dream about glamping. Love to win the book as a start!

I’ve always enjoyed camping . This year I’m kicking it up a level
with my Glamper scamper ( an older Scamp ) Girlie flowers , Lacey curtains , fancy
bed , fun floor , great classic music and sparkles to throw in the
campfire . I need more energy and ideas from this Glamping publication .
I’m naming my camper Whimsey Me .

We are kind of new to camping but have a few trips planned for this summer. No camper yet but would love this book to give me the inspiration to do it right!!!

Mmmmm, summer nights. The smell of a campfire. Time for hot cocoa and a good story!

This will be our families first camping trip with our two granddaughters. We recently discovered Joshua Tree National Forest and it was Love at first sight! I cannot wait to see the evening sky! Thank you!

we have acquired a new (to us) camper and I have been gathering glamping materials and accessories for a couple of years now. Since the first glamping stories i read in MJ’s Farm magazine I have been dreaming of getting a camper and making it my own. Fine, I’ll share with hubby, but it’s going to glamp! I have retired and finally have the time to take a few days off to enjoy this beautiful country. Happy Glamping!

We go to upstate Maine & stay in a one room hunting cabin, with no running water or electricity, but we make it pretty with an old fashioned pitcher/bowl to wash up. some day I’d love to get a clawfoot tub up there so we can take a hot bath, MJ style.

My glamping plans include a tent, sleeping bag, material and a nice fire to create something new.

I’m looking into taking an end.of summer/fall vacation. I’d love to.win for my sister. She just purchased an Airstream & hope we can take a ride sometime when it’s done being renovated. 🙂

I’m not really. Glamper, but we do go camping and four wheeling every year! This year were hoping to go to wallowa lake!

Not glamping yet…but, someday…! Heading for Asotin/Clarkston and up the Snake River for some wonderful family time. We’re gathering from all over to hang together in August. LOVE your magazine, especially as we were once ‘locals’ having lived in the LC Valley as well as in Pullman. Always look forward to the next issue! 🙂

I’ll be glamping in my backyard in Northwestern PA.

Taking a 80’s Shasta and redoing to farmhouse glamper. Gutted ready for paint this weekend 😬🙏🤞

Want to glamp in my shady back yard and then head out to Marfa and Sedona.

I am building a “hen house” in my back yard
To glamp in at home

My glamping will be in Park City. I’m hitting the resorts.

Hi,
My name is Carol Ploussard. I live on the east side of Idaho out in the dry farms of Rexburg. I have many glamping trips planned for this summer. Two years ago my wonderful husband bought me a 1962 Aristocrat low-line 10×10 travel trailer for my 50th birthday. I named her Miranda! I have a silver half ton Dodge pick that can pull us anywhere we want to go! This year our theme is “Catch the Moon” named for the Total Eclipse. Miranda, family, I and will be sitting in full totality on our farm. Our first trip will be Memorial Day. We will go to the Sand Dunes just outside of St. Anthony, Idaho. Not too far away from our home. Our second trip will be in the middle of June, Miranda and go solo for this journey. We cut through Yellowstone, over the Big Horn Mountains and the fall into a little prairie town named Clearmont in Wyoming. We hang out with Alpacs and a bunch of Wooly girls. We play with Alpac wool for a couple of days. It’s great fun and Miranda loves the challenge of the Big Mountains. The 4th of July we go to Dillon, Montana and fish, eat, and dance. The end ofJuly is the big event. We glamp it up big, in Mountain Home, Idaho at the country music festival. This year we will watch Keith Urban, Luke Bryant, and Chris Stableton perform under the full moon surrounded by glampers just like us! Last, but not least, we will glamped one more time with about ten families we have never meet before. Miranda and I are hosting a Total Eclipse Party at our place! After all that we will tone it down visit some natural hot spring, do some deep cleaning, and get ready for our winter’s rest.

My husband and I are going glamping at Crystal Beach in a few weeks. I am waiting on my zebra faux fur rug to come in for our tent entrance. I’m so excited to get some time to be outdoors in style! We’ve been keeping an eye out for a vintage camper to restore but haven’t found the right one yet.

I would love to go camping with my soon to be husband in one of the local state parks! Roaring fire and cast iron cooking please!

We have several trips planned soon as the grandkids are out of school. We are grandparents raising 2 grandkids, who are helping us stay young! I’ve wanted to glamp our camper for a long time, but don’t know where to start. Please add my name, and thank you so much!

Ditto…my daughter is my best friend and travel buddy. Going on 23 years. I want to ne just like her when I grow up!

This would be a great book selection for our book club!

My 16 year old daughter! It is a joy to have a daughter!

I have 3 BFF’s. My first BFF and I met while we were on vacation, and we stayed at her parent’s cottages, when I was around 10-11, so it’s been roughly 50 years for us. We just hit it off like we had always been together. We even stood up in each others wedding. Even though we don’t get to see each other very often, when we do it’s like we’ve never been apart. My second BFF and I met in high school, so it’s been 46 years for us. We’ve always been like sisters, and people often ask us if we are. My third BFF and I met at work, so it’s been about 28 years for us. We connected on such a soul level it’s uncanny. I have such a special bond with each of them, that I cannot pick one over the other.

My best friend and I have known each other for thirty years, we first met at work when we were just little chicks and now we’re the old hens! Although we have moved apart ( to different states) we have continued to talk ALL the time and it truly feels like we are still just as close as if we saw each other every day. What a wonderful life blessing!

I’ve known my bff for 50 years, since she movedfrom Texas to our small hometown of LA Plata, Missouri when we were 10 years old, in fifth grade! We lived a block away from each other, closer if we took the shortcut between back yards in our neighborhood. We loved reading books, especially the Judy Bolton mystery series. We’ve been soul sisters from the beginning, and are still close today. I can’t imagine my life without her!

I have known mine for 69 years! She is my sweet cousin. We are sisters in the Lord.

I have a story written and am working on about our horribly abused horse Barney. I am hoping to publish it this year sometime. I also have one in mind about chickens wanting a new coop.

I would write a book about elephants, mama and family never leave the young
unattended or behind . They also will attack anything that goes after their babies and of coarse elephants never forgets anything,
so Younghans beware!

My daughter wrote a book about a girl that turns into a cat at night, when she was in 2nd grade. Very inventive.

This is an easy question to answer, my very first dog (which I didn’t get until I was an adult), was a dalmatian. She was a great dog, but unfortunately ended up having diabetes in her later years. So my book would be titled, “Daisy, the Diabetic Dalmatian”. I’d use her story to educate children about diabetes, insulin shots, and how you can still be a happy energetic dog even with this disease.

My daughter wrote a story about a bear in grade school and her sister did the illustration for her. She won and it was made into a hardback book. Very impressed. Now she’s a high school English teacher. If I wrote a book it would be about a dog.

I would definitely write a children’s’ book about horses!

If I wrote a book, it would be about my Basset hounds, Buck and Clyde.

I would most definitely write about my Texas roadrunner that darts across my back yard in the country. He’s even come up on my back porch and peered at me through my french doors!

If I would write a children’s book I would write about a Panda Bear.

Snappy the turtle

Await would have to write about puppies and their mischievous antics.

My pet raccoon that I had as a child.

Yes, I did write a book for my 1st Granddaughter. Grace. It was a book about Gilly, the
seagull who only had the use of one leg (hurt in an accident)-the other gulls left her alone until one day she warned the other gulls about a bad bird that would hurt them.
The other gulls thanked Gilly and kept her as a friend after that.

One of my most favorite memories is hanging laundry on the line while my 2 toddler daughters were playing nearby. The cherry blossoms were at the peak of the season. A breeze blew by showering us with a flurry petals. It was a moment of perfect bliss for me.

After removing the wash from the wringer washing machine, I carried the wicker basket to the clothesline. I remember pinning my sister’s cloth diapers on the clothesline. Socks went up one by one. Pants were hung by the waist. White dress shirts that my dad wore were hung upside down by the side seams. A bag was hooked on the line that held the clothes pins. I remember the fresh linen smell as clothes were removed from from the line. Sheets hung from the line were wonderful to sleep on. You could feel the freshness. Time to carry that load to the house.

My husband built me a HUGE clothes line a couple years back. We live in a rural area, but in town. I have to laugh because people think I’m weird that I hang my clothes out to dry. Even women who are middle age tell me “I remember my Grandmother doing that) and apparently its such a rarity because no one hardly does it anymore even though I live in the country. I just take pride in knowing I’m keeping something on the old fashioned side alive and going. Jokes on them though because I’m the one saving money on my electric pill from not running my dryer 😉

We hung clothes outside in all seasons when I was growing up on the farm. We had to go to town to wash them at the “laundromat”, which at that time were wringer washers and it took forever. My mom had us hang clothes outside even in the winter. They always froze and we had to bring them in and hang them around the house to thaw and dry. I never could figure out why we just didn’t hang them in the house to start with.

After getting married I swore I’d always use a dryer which I did for many years, but after moving back to Colorado and having my own house here in the country on what was part of our farm, I decided to go back to hanging them outside. I LOVE THE SMELL of laundry dried in our fresh, Colorado air and sunshine!

P.S. There is nothing like good WOODEN clothespins! The plastic ones just don’t do the job very well!

My favorite memory. I used cloth diapers on my children and I can remember hanging them out with my first of three sons at my feet. He is 36 now.
We are now in the process of purchasing a ” Farm House” in Powell Butte Oregon.
And to my happy surprise it has an old time cloths line just like the one I had when my children were home.:)

My grandma had a little “wash house” where she did her laundry for years. I remember watching with fascination as she would run the clothes through the wringer. Then I would “help” her put the clothes in a little laundry cart on wheels, we’d push it over to the clothes line and hang it all in the sun to dry. It’s one of my sweet memories of grandma.

When we bought our first house, there was an area about 5 feet wide between a couple of the outside walls with a sidewalk to the shed. My creative, think-outside-the-box husband screwed in hooks on each wall and stretched clothes lines between those walls. I loved hanging the laundry out there! It was a nice little hidden spot. In May when the lilies of the valley were blooming on the edge of the sidewalk it smelled heavenly!

Our house is on a hill so we have nice breezes that blow through. Which makes for the perfect wrinkle free, sun-dried clothes!!

Hanging my doll cloths while my Mom hung ours Bette

Hanging laundry on the line brings back wonderful playful memories of my childhood and not so long ago my own children running in and out and around the sheets blowing in the wind. Hanging laundry on the line was a time of spending time outside each doing their own duty of chores. An then running out to grab them in the midst of a rain storm; was a time of fun and laughter, it never failed to rain. lol Memories: [hearing my moms laughter], I dedicate this to her, she has terminal cancer and after fighting cancer for 3years she only has 6-9 mo. to live according to the professional doctors. May we never forget those little things in life that mean so much to us.

Easy memory! Grandmas house in the country every summer where she had a bag (made to look like a small dress) hanging from the clothesline full of clothes pins just as you described. My sister and I would help to hang clothes in the warmth of the sunshine and were taught to stand back and look at the beauty of the clothes gently swaying to the warm whiffs of wind. Those clothes pins found there way dangling on our ears and towel diapers for our dolls! I still have the bag and a couple of the clothes pins which I proudly display in my laundry.

Clothespins! That one word evokes so many memories of old, as well as “now-a-days”.
Clothes hanging on the line, then and now. Mom replacing the old wooden pins with the new plastic one, only to go back to the old wooden ones, which she kept, because the plastic ones broke so easily.
We painted them and put them on our ears for earrings, we used them to keep our lunch bags closed, and in a pinch, when we pulled the string from our hooded sweatshirts used them to keep the hood in place.
I use them now as before, plus so many other uses. I have a clothespin love, and the old clothespin bags that hung on the line to keep the pins-priceless, I still have Grandmas!!

I continue to make memories of hanging out laundry every week! My favorite chore!

I would hand the clothespins to my mom as we moved down the line. The clothespins were the round-top kind. To this day, I love to hang out clothes, sheets and towels because everything smells so fresh.
Thank you.
Happy Spring!

I loved the sheets flapping in the breeze!

As one of 12 children washing tennis shoes was a big job! The shoes took up the entire clothes line! Imagine! All those shoes in different sizes on that line! 🙂

My favourite memory of hanging clothes is doing the sheets…and then crawling into those fresh line-dried sheets in the evening. It seems I always sleep better the day the sheets are washed 🙂

I have always hung out clothes even if the wind is 100mph in Oklahoma!

Monday was always wash day when I was growing up. I’ve always enjoyed hanging clothes on a clothesline. I’d always try to line everything up perfectly; towels, washcloths, sheets, pillow cases. Then I’d do the same thing with the clothes; all the pants had to be in a line, then all the shirts. It was fun for me most days. In the winter, though, the clothes would sometimes freeze on the line before they’d dry. My mother used to always tell us that it was okay. It would soften the material. I don’t know if that was the case or not, but my mother said it so I believed it. Nothing better than good clothespins.

I love to hang laundry. My favorite was when my children were babies and seeing all their tiny clothes hanging on the line.

I loved hanging the laundry and wish I still had a clothesline. And taking fresh smelling sheets off the line was pure bliss.

Clothes pin memories – helping my grandmother take the laundry off the clothesline, I could only help since the Oklahoma wind could get strong, and I was too short to help hang clothes on the line. We used a wooden fruit basket to drop the clothes pin in for the next laundry day. Grandma Mac always made a game of it. I can still smell the fresh scent of clean clothes, feel the warmth of the sun on them, and the wind blowing my hair. Good memories.

I have a lot of memories of helping my mom haul the laundry out to the clothesline, hanging it up, and sometimes racing raindrops to get it off the line. I can’t wait for my husband to get my clothesline back up! I love the smell of line dried clothes!
