A Winter Homebase in our Future? Yuma, AZ - December 7, 2017

Time for an update. It is hard to believe that a month has passed since I posted last. We are still moochdocking at Tim & Bev's house in the Yuma Foothills. Boy, do we appreiciate their hospitality!

We have been helping them on their home improvements. From re-doing the Arizona room, to painting the whole house and cassita.

It really isn't work though, it is fun to help out and it passes time (till we get a house?).


Thankgiving came and went. We drove out to Tacna, where my sister works at Copper Mountain RV Park, and visited with them. Then we had Thanksgiving here at Tim & Bev's. They invited a few others and we really pigged out. We have had many blessings this year and have much to be thankful for.


The pics.

I heard about the Pecan Cheesecake that Linda Payne, from RV-Dreams.com had made. So I tries to do one in my Instant Pot too. It didn't look as pretty ... but was pretty tasty!

We have been walking a lot these days. This is my latest hike up towards Telegraph Pass. I love the desert.

Finally got our health insurance for next year figured out. I signed up for the AARP United Healthcare Medicare Supplement insurance, with a prescription plan through Humana. I think that is a good choice for me. For Donna, we signed up for a catastrophic cost sharing, faith based plan through Aliera Healthcare. We will pay out of pocket for doctor visits and prescriptions. At least she is covered if something big happens. We couldn't go through 'Obamacare' this year. We won't qualify for any healthcare government subsidy this year due to an up coming IRA distribution (for a house?). Through Healthcare.gov, the cheapest insurance for her would be $1200.00 a month, and only good in Texas. Health insurance sucks!

Oh, and we found a house to buy. It is also in the Yuma Foothills. It is a fenced area with a 14 x 65 mobilehome, 3 outbuildings, with RV parking with hookups. Pretty cool. We made an offer and it looks like it may close on Dcember 12th. Now we will have a nice place to stay each winter. Looking forward to living in a little bigger place, even if it is for just 4 months of the year. We haven't had a 'sticks & bricks' since July 2012. Pictures coming in next post.


Fergs .... out!
