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.

I under estimated our stay

We had to extend our stay here at Jacksonville because I under estimated our time here. We were running out of time to do the things we want to do. I think the rain Thursday is what threw me off. Well that's what this lifestyle is all about. We don't have to be anywhere at any anytime so we will stay another day. We are having a ball ( so what's new) here visiting more of Susan's cousins. Today was a combination Mother's day and birthday brunch. Lots of good food! We were entertained by Tina's bird all afternoon. This bird has a vocabulary you wouldn't believe. It not only blurts out words but also sound effects and more. For instance, it will make the sound of a phone ringing, answer it with "hello", hold a conversation and hang up at the end. What a riot!
After the rain ended Thursday the weather has been great. It has been a comfortable high 70 to low 80 with little humidity. In the mornings and evenings we sit outside the motorhome and get entertained by the squirrels that scamper around the trees next to our patio. They run up and down the trees peeking around the branches at us. We put out our "bird feeder" and the squirrels have come up and rummaged through and picked out all the sunflower seeds and left nothing but empty shells. Then we watched as a couple of ducks came up from the lake, headed right for the feeder, had a snack then back into the lake they went. How did they know it was there? So far this feeder has been shared by birds, squirrels, ducks, raccoons and who know what else while we are sleeping.
I almost forgot. We have been features as RVers of the month at www.rvresources.com. Check it out.
