Our New House
It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.
Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…
We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.
I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.
So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.
Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.
I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

Swap Meets Galore
I spent the day checking out some of the MANY swap meets today. Susan was not feeling well (Bad Cold) so she stayed back at the motorhome. I thought it was a sales pitch when I read, "If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist." I am beginning to believe it now. The top photo is a collage of some antiques I found and the photo below is from a booth that was selling animal parts. Why? I had to ask. Apparently people use them for many reasons such as decorations, taxidermists that are in need of some parts and who knows what. This place is filling up. We have about 10 other RVs around us now.
The desert is green. It is unbelievable how much color there is after all the rains. Some of the wild flowers are in bloom but it is still too early for the big showing. The evening skies are just awesome. The hills light up with the setting sun and the skies fill with pinks, reds, and orange color with contrasting giant cactus in the foreground. My little digital camera just does not do it Justus.
