Where do you go when your home is homeless?

That is our question today!  Where are we going to live?

Several weeks ago we got the idea to look into other places we could live to save a little bit more on our costs.  We looked on Craigslist and found a spot for 385, two-hundred less than we currently spend (we would have to pay for electricity, but totally worth it). Well, we looked at this and it was…scary.  We tried to consider if it was just prejudice, but, no it was very scary!

A week or two later, my wife and her cousin, who lives four spaces down at the campground, found two trailer spots in a mobile home park right next to each other.  That would be perfect, but her husband would not go for it. So the search went on…where should we live?

Finally we found it.  A small lot in a mobile home park (not so much a park as it is a collection of mobile homes), nevertheless, it is nice.  It is only 280 per month and includes water, sewage and trash.  We have paid, at our current campground, through March 3rd and must be out by then.  So, last week, I submitted an application and had hopes to move our home Monday, March 1st…as of the end of the day on March 2nd, we still have no word.

Tomorrow, we will have no place to put our home.  We are not technically homeless, our home is homeless!

We have considered going to my parents, a relative’s ranch forty miles out of town, or any of a number of casino’s around the area (they will let you stay without hookups in the parking lot, and boy is the food good!).  But seriously, where do we go?  It is 12:30 in the morning on March 3rd and we have given up our search…!?!

It actually is not scary. We can go wherever we want. We can do what we want.  It is our little adventure, but honestly, I do not know where we will park our home tomorrow.
