Life at Sun Life
It's funny how easily we get settled into a park and the surrounding area. Guess we are just nomads. The park we're in has mostly "park model" homes...our street is about 1/4 motor homes and the rest are permanent park models. On Saturday we had a block party for "J" street. It was realllllly hot so we ate early, then played horseshoes and bocce ball. We took our bocce set and played like we did at Vail where people just kept subbing in. Someone gets tired...hands the ball to someone else and a new team is born.
The potluck dishes that people brought were really good! I felt guilty because I was lazy and took deli salads. I really need to have a couple of special dishes that I take to these affairs...signature dishes as they say. We talked to neighbors who are doing all sorts of variations on snowbirding...not too many are actually fulltimers. Lots of Canadians are here for the winter and lots from MN and WI. A few people, like our neighbor Betty, live here year round. It gets really hot in this area but they just treat it like people in the east treat subzero weather...stay inside with the air conditioned.
Today was laundry day and I talked to a couple who had just learned that their storage unit...the whole place...had burned down and they lost all their belongings. They are just living here while a new house is being built. They were almost in a state of shock. I had never thought of the whole place burning. Makes me think harder about how to really protect all our pictures.
Last night we took a long bike ride around the park after it cooled off a bit. It's a friendly place and very well maintained...a good place to stop for awhile.
