The Latest News From Linda and Dan

When we arrived in Texas, we were booked in, to Magic Valley Park.  It's a park we had stayed in last year and knew that we liked.  Once there we heard about the new Off Leash dog park that had opened in McAllen.  So we checked it out, and as I said previously in this Blog, Sea-enna loves it.  Well, McAllen is about 15 miles from where we are staying, so we  started driving back and forth 30 miles every other day to take her to her park .  It didn't take long for us to realize that we should check out RV Parks in the area of this dog Park.  After a few days of looking we found Paradise Park a couple of blocks away. 
After a number of days looking at our options and discussing it we ended up purchasing a "99 year Life Lease", on lot 335 in Paradise Park.  It's a 26 X 40 RV site, with some pavement, Sewer, Water and Electric and two fruit trees.

 IT'S AMAZING WHAT WE WILL DO FOR OUR PETS. 

The lot is in a 55 Plus Seniors Park and it works like a Condo in that now that we have purchased the lot, we just pay $110.00 a month maintenance fee and electricity that we use while we are there. 




 This park has all the same facilities that we have here at Magic Valley.  Shuffle Board, Horseshoe pitch, Pool Tables, Card Playing, Crafts, etc. etc. 
They have a nice Pool and Hot Tub, that we will get plenty of use out of.   And the usual Showers, and Laundry facilities. 

We have been busy with this investigation and decision making process, and that is why I have not been blogging much these past two weeks.  We have made arrangements to have more concrete poured to enlarge our patio area, and we have to arrange for tie downs for our trailer then it will be ready for us and our trailer to move in. 
We are still going to take our holiday tour to the East, but then we will return to McAllen for some of March and leave our trailer on our lot for the winter.  No more hauling it all the way back to Winnipeg.  Then we will travel up to Youngstown, for our visit, then head home.

We have made a deal with each other that we will stay in McAllen for January and March each year, but for the month of February, we will travel around the south and sight see.  So that's the  "Gnus "for now.
