Trailer Bought!

We all traipsed through the little trailer that Carole wanted us to inspect...and inspect we did! When first entering an old trailer you might want to purchase, you should use your nose. I'm happy to say there was no discernible smell. Next we tried to look beyond the clutter to see the bare bones of the trailer. It looked darned good. Trailer trash, as we're known, tend to fill our trailers with as much knick knacks as we have in our big houses and the owner of this trailer had overdone herself. I don't know how she had time to do anything but dust and clean her ornaments. But it was clean, thank heavens. I later told Carole that there was a real gem under all the clutter.

Mickey, a retired plumber, checked all the plumbing and pronounced it good. He checked the roof and found it good. I was mostly interested in the furnishings and they were good. It was rather easy to imagine how this cute little trailer would look with no clutter...we even made a few decorating decisions for Carole while we were at it.

Within an hour of just a few phone calls, Carole had made her offer of purchase and been accepted. We are thrilled to death! Carole has worked long and hard all of her life and fell in love with our park when she first visited it last year. This year she's going to be retired and ready to join us snowbirds here in Florida...in her own little snowbird nest!

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
