Okay, 'Fess Up

Daisy driving Miss Daisy and the rest of us to our next stop.

Our kitchen, media room and part of the bedroom in the background.

Villa for rent.

The villa living room. Did I tell you it's for rent?

This looks tempting but think of how long it takes to clean.

This is more like it.

I noticed in our latest blog poll -- "What's your greatest fear?" -- that someone out there actually fears "having to live in a trailer." Fess up. Who are you? Who among you is so high-falutin' that you tremble with the thought of living in less than 100 square feet? Come clean.

What you need to do to alter your thinking is to hang with us for awhile. A couple of days in our tiny rolling home on wheels and you'll discover that in many ways it beats having a house....a condo...or even a small, manageable villa like the one we own in Green Valley, which is for rent, by the way. So if you know anyone looking for a place to live down here...

Anyway, there is much good to be said about small spaces. You downsize in the extreme. Overall, it's much less expensive than bricks-and-mortar. A tiny space cleans up in a snap. It forces you to get along with your trailermate since there's no place to hide. There are no lawns to mow, hedges to trim, leaves to rake. Don't like your neighbors? Pick up and move.

There is nothing to fear. Trailers are cool. Give it a shot.
