The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

The clouds are gone and the temp went down and its a cold 38 this morning. Thats the bad news. The good news is it is forecast to be 65 this afternoon. The electric blanket kept the bed warm and the electric heater kept the house warm. Oh, its 19 back home.

This is one of the park models for sale. This one is located in the west area. The price is $84,000 for about 900 sf. The additional costs include the carport, a/c, utilitiy hook up, and furniture. I don't know for sure but the land is leased in this area. The lots for sale start at $24,900. Call for size, location and price and utilities.


The first pic is of the exterior of the park model. It is cute. The others are in the north area and in prior pic posts. The interios is cozy. It includes appliances and a stacked washer dryer. A buyer would have to ask if the washer dryer is included. The furniture is not.

I do like the plant shelves but for the price, DW said to buy an RV and park it, cheaper. And lots of folks did just that. There might be a dozen park models but there is several hundred travel trailers and mobiles here.

Where can you live for $300 a month, + elec, have tennis, swimming pool, hot tub, rec hall, pool tables and shuffle board included. And have a place larger than any two bedroom apartment without the common wall noise. And no crime! The elec is .15 per kwh. The golf is real close to free for the residents. At one time it was free. Its a public course so all you "public types" come on out.

Evening update-

We went to Walmart for milk and oj. Looked for tennis shoes there and at the discount namebrand stores. Guess we will be back at Walmart. We did look at a couple places to park for next year. Passed on one and probably on the other. The one we passed on is $350 ($300 here which will go up to $525 for Jan) and thats for a rec hall only. It was on So Bridge street. We will slowly look at others for next year.

We went to the pool hall this afternoon and plated for a couple of hours. DW last 2 by sinking the eight ball. I lost two by scratching when shooting the eight ball. The other games, ole "dead eye" DW won half of them. If somebody lays a quarter on the table, she's the "woman".

Just some information as to what we did with our spending. We, I should say DW, keeps a detailed spread sheet of just about everything we spend our money on. This way we can see were it goes. All our unusual spending has been spent and now maybe we can get back into budget. With the purchase of the plane ticket, maybe we are.
