Ronnie's Truck
March 2008
When is a truck a home? Oriental fixture Tennessee Ronnie has had a series of creative places to live while visiting the village. There has been a concrete sailboat, a mobile home on South Water St, an RV, even a folding trailer Ronnie liked to call “Teenie Weenie World”.
Ronnie decided he needed to combine portability with the comforts of home, and his latest place to hang his hat has a custom (Ronnie built) structure attached to a powerful diesel truck. Like Ronnie, the truck has character – and it caught the eye of Laura.
This drawing is simply titled “Ronnie’s Truck”:
