Different Size Houses

Recently we were out for a drive in Little Valley a new suburb of St. George where huge mansions are being built. It was amazing to us the money expended to built such castles and the care, upkeep involved. We're happy in our smaller retirement home with two casitas for visitors which comes in very handy.

Note the breezeway to the back yard and garages?
Convenient circle driveway and another breezeway.
This house goes on forever...
We think that part on the left is a casita or guest house w. small garage. 
Here's our little casita in comparison, it sits in front of our house.
All that is needed is a bed for guests to stay overnight or longer.
Sink, closet and attached bathroom is available.
All the modern conveniences...
Welcome to small comforts!

April is POETRY MONTH

How appropriate, just got notified that an anthology of Utah poet's poetry is now available at LuLu. I have a poem/s in there. Can't remember what they selected. I submitted two: Garden of Balm and Wildfires. This is a month of lots of winning and losing...Will be fun to be in print.

MY MOTTO

Whether you win or lose
it's important to keep on trying
improve always––dare to compete.
