I came to Show Low AZ to work for 3 years. We wanted to buy a summer place (for when it's too hot in Mexico), we wanted a boat, and we wanted to expand the casita.
Done. In ONE year! Thanks to the kind folks where I've been worked nearly to death...
I'll be leaving soon, just need another couple of paychecks for a small cushion.
Ron's Boat

| Happy Boat-Owner! |
The boat's name is Crap-Shooter. Bought locally in Kino, housed at the Finisterra where they tractor you back and forth to the ramp, and will clean your fish, change your oil, make repairs etc. if requested. For a fee, of course. I have stocked up on Scopalamine patches for my seasickness. I have not been out on the boat yet. When I went down a few weeks ago, there was only one day that was NOT a "Red Flag" day, and I was sick that day. Soon!
Casita Addition!
Instead of $10 grand to build a new casita on top of the garage, for 1/2 that we decided to add a bedroom/shower/closet to the house, move the toilet to the existing shower, and add a sink where the toilet is. Construction is underway, should be done in just a few weeks. Mi amigas and I will need to find a dresser and nightstands at the segundas!

| It'll work fine. |
Plus our summer home in the mountains of Arizona.

| My nest. Like my new pillows? |
Oh yes, one more addition. We have a puppy. She's a Mexi-dog, runt of the litter, very bonded to Ron, seems smart, and is a cuddler. Her name is Sofia. She rides on the ATV. I LOVE HER!
So I will soon be going home! It's all I can think about.
