*One story (neither Tango nor Jose Luis or I feel like climbing lots of stairs)
*In a quiet and safe neighborhood, away from the strip (Fun to visit, but wouldn't want to live int he midst of the jingle jangle)
*Reasonable rate (sure we could spend $3,000 per month....but why would we )
*Little back yard (The dogs need to be able to stretch their legs a little, and we like to sit in the sun)
*2 Car garage (Never had one, always wanted one- not to park cars in but to store all the stuff we still have accummulated over the years)
We saw 21 houses, some still occupied....ooops, others in foreclosure (one had the toilets ripped out, empty holes in the floor, in another the home owners must have been so angry that paint was spilled all over the carpet. Some had not been cleaned in years... helllloooo anybody hear about this newest invention called a vacuum cleaner- it sucks up dirt....who knew?)
We settled (I should not say settle, as it seems that there weren't a lot of choices, but this had all the necessities). on a 1 story home in the Arbors community of Summerlin, 15 minutes from the strip, but a world away. Coming down the drive we are on a hill overlooking the strip and it is Beautiful.We have 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, 2 car garage, fireplace and our neighbours are the nicest. Jim(works out of his house) and Nancy(works for AIG).
Mike across the street, very very nice area.
As we unpack we realize that the unemployment rate has hit 8 % but we need to start looking for a job. Next week
