Paulina has been focused on achieving our latest goal of setting up a real home and life in the Adirondacks. Frankly, it's taken us almost 2 years to make it all a reality. It all began with our purchase in August '15. Despite lots of delays due to our divesting ourselves of our larger real estate holdings and my medical issues, we were only able to return last fall. 

We're excited to return to Schroon River, and to enjoy our place in the sun. Although we spent 3 months between November and February setting up and getting everything in order, we only were able to enjoy a few short weeks outdoors before winter set and the snows began.

Our road trips between both homes has also enabled us to see and enjoy much of the USA. Each of our 3 trips provided lots of wonderful insights and views or our beautiful and amazing country. We got to see lots of sights as we crossed the USA, and enjoyed our stops each night. We now plan on 3 weeks each way, that is coming and going. This allows us time to relax and enjoy our cross country trek with some vacation twice a year.

In contrast to our beloved home in Tucson, we're living a real "country life". Life will be much more simple and centered around our property with lots of hiking in the mountains that surround us, and lots of time spent on the beaches along our river front and Lake George.

Our days will include taking photos of our home and surroundings, as well as doing frequent "coffee breaks" and BBQ's at home. I am also looking forward to spending time at the beaches at Lake George and seeing lots more of our community.

Paulina, Lucky and I will be doing lots of new photos over the coming 7 months. Our new series begins with Memorial Day Weekend '17

I'll be setting up a new series of web pages to highlight our exploits and periodic status updates before we head back via our vacation and Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach, SC with son John and Anh. 

For lots more about our adventures in Schroon River, check out our "Status Updates" web page. 

We've lived life in the "fast lane" for many, many years. Now, it's time for Paulina, Lucky and I to "smell the flowers". Enjoying lots more time listening to our favorite tunes, and making more memories.

We've also decided to minimize our cooking and chores, and enjoy more rest and relaxation, i.e., hiking, photography, music, and sight seeing. Meals are now more about light cooking and take-out!

We've now got 2 homes, Tucson, AZ and Warrensburg, NY which we plan to enjoy   "endless summer". We've also developed a real joy or our road trips in between and seeing the USA.

Unlike our times over the past, we're no longer into hosting visitors and a living a lavish lifestyle. Frankly, it simply takes too much time and effort. And, we're at that point in life where our age and health is slowing us down.

We do plan to enjoy some special times dining out with family to celebrate special occasions. We're especially looking forward to seeing son John and Anh during some of our exploits.

Our passion for nature and enjoying a simple life has also further developed, and we've begun to enjoy it all. Current and future photos will include our sights of the wildlife and scenery we're seeing in our travels. 

We enjoy staying at places where the lifestyle suits us all, especially Mr Lucky who has also really gotten to enjoying our road trips and hotel stays. Come see some of our memories.

We spent 6 days on the road, heading from our home in Tucson to our place on Schroon River. During the early part of our journey, we headed up thru Arizona and New Mexico. The weather was great and the traffic very light.

Beautiful scenery and pretty sunsets as we drove across the USA

We enjoyed our stays as well as our  journey to Kansas then East to Schroon River
