Home Sweet Home



Yup, our home away from home - from mid-May to mid-September - is pretty sweet now.  Trish has her She Shed (STUDIO, she insists on calling it) all finished and furnished.  I wish.  I know darn well she'll get more stuff to assemble and install.



And, I have my Man Cave - which, as befits such a manly enclosure is unfinished, rough and crude - much like myself.  The STUDIO is 10' x 20'.  The Man Cave is 18" by 36".  

The LHC pickleball gang lobbied the Resort board to build 2 pickleball courts - and donated $20K for the construction thereof.  The courts are finished and they're a 5-minute walk from our lot.

Still Life With Turtles

Looking out the large back window of our RV, there's an idyllic view.  That's not real grass in the foreground.  We're done with labor-intensive landscaping, have been since we moved from Oregon.  Yup, AZ weaned us off of grass in short order.  Now, it's gravel, faux grass and pavers.


The body of water, generously named 'Lake' Guinevere, wouldn't qualify as a lake in my home state of Minnesota.  It's 2 or 3 acres, depending on the amount of rain and time of year.


Our neighbor, a professional timber cutter, built this 'island' in front of his RV.  Turtles, ducks, cormorants and herons hang out there every day.
