Citrus City




Our manufactured home has a full grown Grapefuit tree and a full grown Orange Tree (Reg thinks it's a Valencia but we haven't tried it yet). The previous owner was gone for several months and the watering system was turned off so the fruit this year is pretty dry - but next year it will be perfect. In "Sunrise" there is a bench at one of the entraces to the recreational center where evrybody brings baskets, boxes and/or bags of fresh picked citrus to trade/exchange. Everyone has at least one citrus tree. It is a very friendly place to live.

Not right away, but as soon as we can this 11 ft by 31 ft room will be redone. It will be an insulated and air condiioned sewing room.

New To Us - 55 plus community







Here are some pictures of the new place we will be moved into by the end of Feb. Reg has lots of ideas and work has already started. Reg has slmost completed redoing the west side 10x11 tool/work room. He has completely reframed it and insulated it so he can use it in the summer. The master bathroom is very generous in size. Reg wants to totally reframe the room and make it a "suite" bathroom. The toilet will be in it's own little room (as we have here). The 1980's "everybody must have" garden tub, the small linen closet and the shower will be reworked. Reg wants to put in a big snail shower with multiple heads in what is now the tub area and linen closet area, and then covert the shower into a really generous linen closet.

The bathroom has a nice double sink and a large mirror that is really a huge medicine cabinet. the counter is low - even for me - but Reg is going to raise it up.
