Casita  Bob and Ruth Gomes

I arrived Fri 8th Feb, at Rincon Country East RV Resort, Tucson, Arizona. And met up with high school bud Bob Gomes and wife Ruth. Ruth called the resort home. So they bought a park model there, at a price you can not refuse. They call it their Casita. And here they will hang as snowbirds during winter months. Life is Good !!

On Jan 27th, Bob sends out his blog, Bob is a little "Old School", he sends out his blog by email. He wrote:   “…..  She showed it to us, it needs a little TLC, a good cleaning, some work on the kitchen.  But it’s solid, no leaks and livable.  She had George on the phone and he said make an offer.  OK, figuring he would probably double any offer, I made an offer of $X,XXX.  There was a long pause then Judy says into the phone, he has his check book in one hand and a pen in the other and waiting.

She looks up at me and says he accepts the offer only if you can pay for it now.  No problem.  We couldn’t believe it, I mean I couldn’t build the deck for that, not to mention the full awning and tool shed.   And get this it is lot numbah 24, that’s right 24 South Loop Road.  So...  it is ours, ….. "

How lucky can you get, his note at the end above referring to the lot number, his home address in Maine is 24  St. And it is also very cool, that their son PJ happens to live in Tucson.

From left to right, Bob, Ruth, their son PJ, and yours truly.

They worked hard, what seemed like days and days and days. 

Then all done, and they rest.   But it is not all hard work, we got some pool time, and hikes.
