Trailers R Not Us!




It irks me when people refer to the homes that we sell as “trailers.” How insulting to refer to our beautiful upper-end manufactured homes as trailers. These homes are popular in the southwest. The brand I sell is loaded with insulation and amenities and when the contractors get finished with them, they look good. Here’s one of our customers who lives in Sedona.







Currently, we are featuring the 2011 homes. Our interior decorator spent a day sprucing up our lot models last week and I followed her around with my camera. She comes up with some great ideas. Here is a cute kitchen in our smallest home.




My favorite is this middle-size three bedroom home decorated in a Mexican theme. I love the openness of this floor plan. Oh, to sit at this table and serve up some burritos and refried beans!













This four-bedroom home has warm accent walls. I fight the temptation to take a nap in this comfy bed mid-day!






So remember, they are “manufactured homes” not mobiles and certainly not trailers!

    Mary, the pictures you posted of the homes are lovely! Why in the world would some people call them trailers? They don't even have wheels!

    I absolutely love well designed homes that have both a touch of class and comfort.

    I try my best with my home, both in Bacolod City, and in Manila... but ultimately the home of my dreams will be in heaven!

    I enjoyed this post a lot, Mary.

    May God continue to be honored in your business, and may He bring you good clients!


    Love

    We often go to a local *swap meet* (they call it a marketplace) and they have recently been featuring a couple of manufactured home models. I think they're absolutely beautiful! They are homes - not trailers - couldn't agree more!

    Best of luck with sales!

    GOD BLESS!

    I've actually been curious about "your" homes, Mary ... and here they are!
    I love the all the decor; probably like you, I favor the Mexican rustic theme.
    Soooo, when might I move in? :)

    They are beautiful and look so comfy and inviting! At times like these, I think I would be grateful even to have one like these beautiful "manufactured" homes. God bless and take care sister!

    You did those homes proud! I LOVE that kitchen!!!

    A great big smile crept up on me when I read your email. God has certainly kept your family under His wing. I will continue to pray for them...

    You're right! Certainly not trailers. I have a friend that has a beautiful manufactured home on 5 acres. Spacious and lovely...

A Veteran's Story

  I noticed Bill sitting in our local park where I walk.   He glanced my way just as I finished the last exercise walk song on my playlist.   He shouted and pointed to my car:   “Hey, is that your car with the Nam front license plate?   I stepped closer into the veranda where Bill sat on a picnic bench.   I noticed his Vietnam Vet cap and instantly I knew why I walked there that day.   The Marine Vet served during the 1960’s, the same time span as my husband.   Bill talked a lot about the war evoking my emotions from laughter to tears.   My South Vietnam front plate often prompts a conversation with a stranger and I’ve learned a deep respect for it over the years.   It is my way of listening to a veteran.   I enjoyed listening to Bill.   He made me laugh in spots but he made me cry as well.   Like when he talked about the sandwich lady.   “Do you ever eat at the sandwich shop in the gas station down the street...

A Memorial Day Reflection

  Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls.  Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts  run through my mind.  The journey of loss takes on various emotions.  The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness.  In a split second, I would forget he departed forever.  I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home.  My mind is realistic now.  He's not coming back.  There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars.  He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day!  And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...

Scary Scars

A young trouble-lovin’ neighbor boy managed to scare me back in my preschool days.  My mom sent me to our neighbor’s house where Freddie hid in the shrubs and jumped out at me wearing his Frankenstein mask loaded with scars.  I screamed every time.   I’ve had to forgive Freddie for harassing me when these memories pop up.  I’m sure he grew up to be a swell guy and if I could remember his last name I would look him up on social media and yell at him. Those Scars! The scars on the mask looked real to me, a six year old timid girl.  What is it about scars that creep us out like that? When I think of scars, I think of pain.  I don’t like to see people suffer.  Scars  are areas of fibrous tissue (fibrosis) that replace normal skin after injury. A  scar  results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues of the body. Thus,  scarring  is a natural part of the healing proce...
