We had planned to move on to Tucson and Phoenix, but decided instead to remain in Texas until we head home on March 22. We love the area and, more importantly, we were able to get a casita (Spanish for "small house") that really adds to our enjoyment! The casita has a nice, big patio with a counter housing a sink, a built-in gas grill, and a small refrigerator. Also has a very nice patio table with four cushioned chairs. There's a place to hook up an outside TV (you can see the mount on the wall), but with our TV in the side of the coach, we didn't need one.
On our patio, we are about 15 yards off the 14th green of the Alsatian Golf Resort
Note the pond in the left part of the above photo. It is home to a couple of weird-looking geese.
We have been told that they are "Egyptian geese." Of interest is that their aggressive and territorial nature keeps other types of waterfowl, including Canadian geese, out of their area. I'm trying to figure out how to bring some back to Illinois! I could make a fortune renting them out to property owners on Lake Springfield to chase away the other geese!!
Our casita also has a LARGE walk-in tiled shower and, more importantly, the casita gives Janice a nice place to work "from the road" (i.e., make $) while I put on some tunes, pop a beer, and watch the golfers from the patio!
