Homeless no more....

There is a certain age, I think, when being homeless has its attraction. Yup; free of debt, free to roam, no worries related to maintenance, repairs, insurance, garden care, and all the rest of the responsibilities that come with home ownership...  Well, that age is a whole lot younger than we are now!  We Capricorns seem to require a certain amount of dirt under our feet and all that goes with looking after that domestic patch. We simply start to disassemble without the weight of responsibility to keep us grounded. And so, as most of you already know, and after 9 months of so-called 'freedom', we made the leap back into home ownership; and we're glad we did.

We found a home (basically a rancher with a half basement)  on a nice sized lot and in a quiet neighbourhood not far from where we used to live.  We're still about half way between town and the marinas in Maple Bay and we're very happy with the situation. The following photos are provided as per your requests.  We hope you approve of our selection.

And now, as summer marches firmly towards fall, we must focus on our preparations for the upcoming cruising season in Mexico.  Yes, we're heading back... to the good ship Shannon's Spirit.  She's waiting for us to come and finish her renos in time for the start of the sailing season.  We'll be driving down and carrying those materials we need for her restoration... and we're looking forward to spending the winter exploring the coast of the Baja and all it has to offer.

We will stay in touch as we drive south (RVers still want to hear about places we like and don't like) and we'll share our stories of our explorations of the Sea of Cortez... as they occur.  So please stay tuned.

Adios (for now).  CJ
