This week marked Tom's fourth week with us here in the park.  His hand has healed beautifully and he has good and

Another trailer moving out

 still improving range of motion to his fingers.  It remains tender at the initial injury site but all in all, looks pretty damn good.   He had his final appointment with the surgeon this week and he too was pleased with his progress so no longer needs to see him.  That is good and will mark the end of Tom's visit to us.  Soon, he will return to the streets of Phoenix that he calls "home".
Another trailer has left the park this week and the place continues to slowly empty.  Within two weeks, everyone will be gone leaving only Ray, Kay, John and myself here.  It certainly will be quiet but we have noticed a bit more road noise now that the other trailers are moving out and our buffer zone is shrinking!!  We will have to get some trees planted to take care of that bit of nonsense!!
We continue with the general park clean up and it truly is starting to look better.  We fill the huge roll off garbage bin in only a few days and another one will be needed by early next week.
Ray took Kay and I on a "tour" of Larry's place next door and it was absolutely beautiful.  If he makes this area look anything like his place, we will be living in an incredible setting.  His area is covered with walking paths, manicured lawns, desert plants and several water features.  One being a huge pond complete with fish!!   If he makes this place look half as nice we will truly be living in an unreal park like setting.  We even managed to meet the owner of The Greenspot Nursery.  Vincent is responsible for the maintenance of Larry's property and is one of the reasons it looks so incredible over there.  He mentioned that Larry has a lot of work planned for him on this side of the wall!!
Finally, the weather is starting to warm up and that of course is a very good thing.
Mitch has been very busy looking for a house to buy before the end of this month and has decided that he really needs to find a place to rent in the meantime as the whole house hunting thing is taking longer than he had hoped.  Everyone has only two more weeks to pack up and get out of the park and a few people look like they haven't even started!!  Yikes!!  Two of those folks have what I would consider a total mess and I mean MESS in their yards.  So much junk that it is mind boggling!!
We are busy again watching the various football games leading up to the Superbowl.  Mitch and Kay have been to lucky winners over the last two weeks so we have only one more weekend for our victory to arrive!!  Superbowl is February 7th and that is only a few weeks away.
Life is good......
