We have many great memories in that whole area from our ranch sitting days near McNeal. We actually looked into buying something near Sierra Vista in 2011. I can feel your excitement with your new digs and it takes me right back to our house in Congress and all the fun we had fixing up the old house and property. I too never called our Congress place a home. I too called it our house. Know what you mean by having a base or jumping off spot to continue your travels. That was our very same motive for buying our place in Congress. Had we not had a border between our two countries we might still have that house. Anyway, enjoy yourselves over the Moon just like we did:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-41523711138692053502019-12-01T02:10:57.697-08:002019-12-01T02:10:57.697-08:00LOL, what a difference one letter makes, eh? :) Ou...LOL, what a difference one letter makes, eh? :) Our kids still call it "Faily" Dollar to this day! Looks like you are having fun working on your new abode, and when it's no longer fun, you can take a break and hit the road. The best of both worlds! Congrats on your new baby granddaughter!

I can imagine that it is a strange transition, and one that we can't seem to bring ourselves to make just yet - but with your ability to continue to travel part time it seems that you now have the best of both worlds! I think one of the best aspects of owning a home again would be having a place for family and friends to stay when they visit.
