New Home

Last week I was driving back from Tucson and stopped to check out a RV park in Benson. It is one of those that you can purchase your lot. The lots are large enough for a park model of 800 sq ft and a storage shed. The park is devided into 3 parts, the RV part, the park model part and permanent home part.

I left thinking about buying a lot. The advantages are: instead of paying space rent I would be investing that money. (I have decided to stay put for 1-2 years) there is a large storage shed, so I can move my stuff from my storage unit. There is a yard area that I can play around with. When I decide to travel the park will help me rent out my lot, if I want.

Monday I went back to the park to look again. One of the lots I was interested in had sold. However, there was another one that came up on the market. I loved it!! It is fully landscaped and backs up to an open ravine. The storage shed has to be painted. I'm thinking tan with darker brown trim. I made an offer and then the hunt for financing. Well!!! I could not find any at all. Money is so tight right now I don't know who can get a loan. The seller decided to carry the paper and gave me a doable offer. I hope all gets done so I can move onto the lot before my sister and sister-in-law come next month.

Tenzin/Santa Fe

Last week I went to Santa Fe to see my little sister, Tenzin. She was home for winter break from college. It was so good to see her again. Her boyfriend Ngwang came with her to meet her family. I had met him last summer and he is very nice.

It was COLD there, 5 at night and in the low 30's during the day. There was snow still on the ground. It was nice to see friends again. I stayed with Victoria and Glen. They are always so generous to let me stay with them.

I also had lab work done and saw the Dr. All was good. I'm even trying deleting one of my diabetes pills. I hope it will be ok, that will be a big step forward.

I'm back home now and Billie was sooooo glad to see me. He just stayed in my lap for 2 days. I guess all is back to normal as he is still in bed this am. :)

It is warm here, high 60's, yeh!!!

BRRRRRR!!!

There has been a cold front moving thru and it is COLD. I had to unhook my water hose for 3 nights. I've discovered that there is a heated tape you can buy and then put foam around your hose. I think I will look into it. This is to inconvenient.

There was snow on the mountains yesterday morning, but it was gone by about 11am. It was to cold to even go out to take pictures. I know, I'm a wuss.

To keep busy I cleaned out my closet and cupboards in my bedroom. It is now a lot more convenient. This week I plan on doing the rest of the cupboards. I'm going to Santa Fe next week and am taking some things to storage. Next to clean out is my basement and hobby stuff. That goes to storage my next trip to SF.

My "little sister" Tenzin will be there for winter break. I haven't seen her since last spring. I'm also going to the Dr. getting lab work, etc done. Ugh!

But, I am excited to see old friends. I'm staying with friends Victoria and Glen. They are always so kind to me. I stayed with them when I got my rig. Glen was so informative and helpful.

I'm going to the movies today to see True Grit. I haven't been to a movie in a long time and it is a much needed day out.
