The ceiling fan we selected for the master bedroom came from Lowe’s. It is the Harbor Breeze Bradbury #2599780. We went with a 48-inch one, so that it wouldn’t overpower the room. We also chose to have the gray-weathered wood side of the blade as opposed to the dark walnut side to promote a more… Continue reading Master Bedroom Fan

Bidet- Luxury Cleanliness
Yes! We got a bidet. I’ve lightly researched bidets for a while. A good friend, Darlene B, got one a few years ago and absolutely raved about it. I thought of choosing an under-the-seat attachment one, such as “The Element”, because it would be considerably less money, but Barry said he didn’t want cool water… Continue reading Bidet- Luxury Cleanliness
Initial Months at CVR
Overall, we are enjoying settling into Carefree Village Resort (CVR) in Yuma, AZ. When we first arrived the end of September it was often 100+ degrees. To handle the heat Barry and I visited the larger, deeper pool every afternoon. It was like having our own private pool. As more people began arriving for the season, we… Continue reading Initial Months at CVR

Their home is the same floor plan and size that our’s is. We also thought that the full entertainment center wall put on order… Continue reading Furniture Change Ups

The arrival of our home is scheduled for Oct 22. It will still be 4-6 weeks after that before we will be able to take possession.

Commitment Made
We’ve been working on the idea of a manufactured home since May as we were preparing to leave Yuma. Granted, this is much sooner than we previously thought we’d be taking this step, but it seems right for us. It will allow us to be relatively close to our grandkids, have great amenities while enjoying… Continue reading Commitment Made
