All Good Things Come to an End

Sharon and I Started our RV adventure November  2009 and what a ride its been …..I said that we’d travel until we found the place we wanted to settle down ……
       I really thought it would be many years until that time would come……We made it to Phoenix , AZ. , and we ran into a a man from Sharon's past looking at a house . His name is Tony Gregorio , Sharon use to baby for him , well actually his daughter Angel .
I also have known  him , his wife Pam and a couple of their kids ……A good family….
Well the housing troubles we all saw on the television the last few years , were happening here live and very sad too . Sharon and I went to look at the house that Tony was looking at and met his realtor Tom .
  A few days later we looked at a few and found one that was wonderful . It was built three years ago and after a couple of offers and counter offers we ended up buying it for a third of what it sold for three years ago .
This is our new HOME :
 At first I thought we could sell the RV and buy a travel trailer for our summer home at Green Harbor campground . But it isn’t going to happen for a while . we are going to stay here FULLTIME , and go to Rochester to visit a few weeks every summer . Maybe after social security kicks in we wil be able to go for the whole summers .
          We will still travel around the west coast and blog . Just not as often and not for long periods of time .
I hope to see you all at one time or another , either in N.Y. , here in Arizona or just on the road  .
       
Happy Trails to You ……..

  9. Dear Paul and Sharon,
    Congratulations, your new house is awesome. I am so happy for you. I will miss seeing the three of you. It just will not be the same. Please keep the blogs coming, even if you don't travel. A picture of Monte would be nice.
    Who will help Don on tuesdays. I know he will miss you the most on "those days". We will have to find another reporter for the gazette. I also will kid Joy that she got rid of another neighbor. It already happened in Florida. I hope she does not get a complex.
    Sharon, I read about your brother. The same thing was done quite a few years ago at our City Mission. It was over money also. At first people were giving less money. It was also political. I knew the family in charge, they were patients of mine. If they had any fault it was that they were overcaring. Keep Paul in line. I know that is a full time job. Enjoy your new home.
