Morning:
Today we are going to get haircuts. Stacy and her boyfriend will go at the same time so we will visit for a while. Then Ken and I will be going to a place called Happy Trails, where we lived when we first came to Arizona 9 years ago. We met the nicest people there and loved the place.
At Happy Trails you own the land you purchase and only have to pay $113.00 a month for Association fees for upkeep of the pools, 6 spas, many laundry rooms, showers, restrooms, etc. It is so reasonable compared to others here, for instance, here at Pueblo El Mirage where we are right now, you don't own the land. You pay close to $5,000 a year just for the privilege to live here plus you have to keep up your own property!!! Happy Trails does it for you.
What we will be looking for is a place called an Arizona Room with a large space attached for your motor home. It's like an extra home with kitchen, living room, bedroom, bath, and an outside laundry in the casita. You have a deck and most are already furnished. It's the way to go down here. Then the only thing you need is a golf cart and you are set. We are both looking forward to finding something.
We will leave Arizona tomorrow and head back towards Oregon, then the coast and possibly back to the Tri Cities. We have enjoyed Surprise, AZ so much as there are so many stores and so many restaurants. Tonight we are taking the kids to Famous Dave's for ribs. They have never been there so it will be quite a treat for them.
Hope you all had a safe and healthy Memorial Day.
Until later...
