I hope you have a nice view and a safe place. I hope you can see the beautiful desert mountains where you are. I hope you get to see something beautiful every day. I never realized how important it was until I moved here, now I am surrounded by the beautiful city of Fresno and soon will get to live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

Our park owner is limited to the homes already established on the land. He inherited the park from his father and never upgraded the water supply, and the State of California won't let him put any new spots on it without a major water treatment plant (probably a $100K investment for him). He tried to sell the park during the real estate boom but got no serious offers, so now he's just collecting the meager rents he charges and hoping no one moves out.

He has about 12 houses on a 13 acre park with no new ones allowed. We just lucked out this time buying the house when we did. That flat spot out to the north of the house looks like a good spot for a garden, now that I'm looking at the picture again.

You are very lucky to have found such a wonderful place to live.

Yes, I have a view from here, 18 miles across a flat valley to the Black Mountains, with the sun setting behind them, it is a sight to see, black and jagged, brightest possible sunsets.

The Cerbat mountains are a mile behind me, but are rather boring.
