Trip to Naco, Mexico

                                         Main st, Naco

                                          someone was really living here

       This little church wasn't being used, one front door was missing and so were the windows

     Went to Naco, Mexico yestersday to buy some diesel, its $3.14 a gallon, compaired to $3.79 in Douglas, its a compleatly different world in Mexico, the gas stations are run buy the goverment and there's only one type its called Premex, so there is no compitition, no shell, texaco or any other brands. Naco is only 13 miles from the park, so its a easy trip, The town is so depressed, they live a much differant life over there, housing is terrable, they live in shacks, there is no nice part of town, the main drag isn't to bad but one block either way and your in the slums.

I'm getting there

                  Well I layed the new carpet and Roger gave me some things he had in his storage trailer, its all stuff that's been left behind by renters, a nice double recliner, floor lamp and a old wicker chair that I think is cool. so its all coming together, now I need to get some curtains and a few things for the walls. I placed the recliner at a bit of a angle, I know the room it very small and it takes up more room this way but I kinda like it, it feels more homier to me. We had a great sunset as usual and I took it setting on my recliner looking out the front window.

Getting er done

Well the next step for the living room is the carpet, walls have been painted and windows have been trimmed out, after the carpet comes curtains, wish I had a women here for those, but I guess I'll weather it thu OK.

                     Today we had some visitors at the park, they came up from Mexico and did some pottery for us in the park at the rec hall, Its really nice stuff but a little to expensive for me, I'll buy mine at Walmart!! Their stuff is beautiful and its takes quite awhile to do it, they are coming up here because of all the killings in Mexico, have kept the tourists away.
                     Of course I had to add in one of our great sunsets.

Starting on the livingroom

Hi everybody, I took some windows out of the livingroom that were facing the building I'm parked next to, had to many windows in the room anyhow, felt like I was in a fish bowl everytime I walked in it. I think its much better, but I know that some of you won't agree, but that's OK. Painted the room avacodo and I think it looks good, too me anyhow. Next is to trim out the windows and lay the carpet down, I'm going with carpet for the time being as Roger, the owner of the park has some nice beige carpeting that one of his renters bought and then moved and left it behind, so he asked me If I wanted it and I said, of coarse, I was going to put a wood floor down but the carpet will do for now and its free, can't beat that!!

Moving day

Well I moved into my Roycraft the other day and what a God send, I've been in the little camper forever and its a nice change to have a full size refrigerator and bath room that I can turn around in, HOORAY, all that's left now is to finish the living room, and do decorating, only thing is that  I need everything. Next is the outside, that should be fun!! Painted my stove today and it came out super, looks like new, wish I could find a fifties refrigerator to set the kitchen off, who knows I might get lucky, there still around. I'm in a great spot in the camp ground, Rodger gave me a space all to myself, I think some of the other residents are jealous. I asked to be away from the others as I'm the only one with a wood stove and I didn't want to cause any bad feelings with the other residents with the smoke from my chimney.
                             We're getting there!!
