Gilbert AZ Another Side Trip

So we spent the last week in Arizona. Yup we bought another house.



This one is maybe a 5 minute drive to the Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport. A nice quiet neighborhood and close to all the amenities you might want. Besides enjoying the sunny weather there....this time we had to work hard all week. From early morning till late in the evening. We had to accomplish a lot of things. Things we did were: install new door knobs on all interior doors, new light fixtures, new ceiling fans for in the bedrooms, all new faucets throughout the house, painting of some areas allowing us to get toilets in place, cleaning of the pool, trimming and weed removal on the landscaping, repair of the airconditioning unit, ordering of new blinds (for ones that were missing), buying and install of new appliances, scheduling of painter and the ordering of new carpet. With all that we were doing there was not too much time to play. We had a great time taking care of all these things in a short time.
Our friends Mike and Chris Taggart (Realestate Agent also) helped us by leading us in the right direction refering people to use and providing us with tools to use. We did bring some on the plane, but the get heavy real fast.

We spent the last couple of hours on Friday enjoying the sun and the pool, then it was off to the Airport and off we went homeward bound.
Sometimes its hard to come home when we come to the cloudy,windy and rainy weather that is often here in the Pacific northwest
Here we are just getting on the freeway in Bellingham heading home.....Hmm 4 hours ago we were sitting by the pool.
