Anytime!  Your post of an image with your father, great way to bring back some good memories, brings me back to the times I shared with my boys on the lake.  Was that an old wood Chris Craft?

Thanks!  I checked out your post. Have you ever had a listing where you visit the home for one reason or another, and every time you do that, you run home and run the numbers to see if it fits the budget? I would probably do that with your listing.

Thanks! Sun City Grand is fantastic!  I noticed you are from CT.  A few years back, the family did a trip back to NY to visit family. I was able to check out Mystic Seaport, have you been there?

I love Surprise in March, Michael J. Perry. I hit KC Royals and also run to Peoria about a 20-minute drive to watch the Padres depending on who they are playing.

Scott Schulte - This is a very nice and informative post. Welcome to ActiveRain!

When I saw you mentioned Pickleball, I thought I would tag by using the at symbol on the computer to notify Ray Henson who has a passion for Pickleball and I think he may have an interest in Arizona too.

Welcome to ActiveRain, Scott Schulte.  Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP is correct, I do have an interest in Arizona.  We will be living in Goodyear full time soon and we have been to Surprise quite often.  We loved Sun City, but my dad lives in PebbleCreek so we purchased a home there.  I would love to play some pickelball in Surprise.  I have heard there is a good group of players there.  I will be looking forward to your upcoming posts.
