I have to admit that I'm old and REALLY set in my ways. I really don't care for today's movies but I LOVE old classic movies. We have a 70" tv and spend quite a bit of our time watching old black and white movies.
There are way too many movies to have a real favorite, at least for me and there are several that I can watch over and over such as, "Bringing Up Baby", "North By Northwest" and, "Jane Eyre" to name a few as well as today's choice, "The Long, Long Trailer" staring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez. Parts of the movie were filmed in Yosemite National Park and the scenery is stunning. I love Lucy and her antics always make me laugh.
The plot of the movie is that Lucy and Desi are newlyweds. Desi is an engineer and works all over the place, making for a roaming lifestyle for the couple. They buy the trailer at Lucy's insistence so that she can make Desi a real home no matter where they are.
As they travel along Lucy picks up landscaping rocks and home canned goods, both very heavy objects which makes for a very dangerous drive through some very steep, narrow mountain passes.
7 years ago we moved from Michigan to Arizona. We packed up our house and the moving company packed it all up in their truck. We also had a garage full of motorcycles (3, 2 non running) as well as my Rick's tools. In order to move all of that we bought an 18" trailer and has several special adjustments made to it. I decided that it was our Long, Long Trailer and asked if I could pick up rocks and homemade canned goods along our way and was told no. He was right because Lucy's collection was nearly the death of her and Ricky. When we got to Flagstaff, AZ there was a full blown monsoon going on. If you have never been in one before, you don't want to be. There was one mountain that we almost didn't make up due to the amount of water on the road and the mountain was really steep.
Here's our truck and trailer all packed up and ready to leave. Ricky's car was barley big enough to pull their trailer, turned out our truck was barley big enough to pull our trailer. The bed of the truck is also packed full.
The canning jars are from Cricut's, "From My Kitchen" cartridge. The rocks are from, " Dino Play". The red heart doily came from Hobby Lobby.
I originally did a 2 page layout, this picture and a picture of the Gold Wing (orange motorcycle up there in the trailer) and it's trailer all packed up and hitched for a trip from Arizona to Michigan in 2016. I just couldn't get the 2 different trailers to meld. I think it was the baby decorations I used on it, we were riding back to Michigan for the birth of Rick's grandson.
If you're wondering what the 2nd page looked like, here it is:

That's Rick making his final preparations and those fuzzy head on the back or our lions. They have been riding with us since 2003. All of the cuts on this page are from Cricut's, "Baby Steps" cartridge.
