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...

    Blessings, Debbie

The Venomous Intruder

It’s the middle of rattlesnake season here on the ranch.  The local news anchor confirmed it.   I’ve seen two already.    While driving along our dirt road yesterday, I mistook a virulent enemy for a branch. I backed up the car, looked again and noticed the branch shifted revealing a rattle at its end. At one of our road association meetings in the barn, Shelby stood up and shouted, “ BOB !” to my next door neighbor.  He’s our vice president and the one all eyes were on as he gave a presentation in the middle of the room.  I sensed fear in the way she yelled his name.  I learned after the meeting that Shelby called out to him like that because she saw a rattler slither in the barn door where she and I sat.  Bob yielded to the interruption and quietly dispatched the enemy.  Ten minutes later, this tough guy was back to center stage falling right back in step with the business at hand.   Bob is my new best friend. ...

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 ...

Hearts for the Kingdom Author Interview

When I finished reading Hearts for the Kingdom last week, I contacted the author, Cho Larson.   We talked about the book and he graciously agreed to be my guest today.  Together we hope to inspire you in your journey of faith to pursue God with a heart that is alive and beating for the Kingdom of God. Mary:  Cho, when I finished your book, I felt loved and very close to my Savior. Cho:  I’m overwhelmed at the encouraging response to it. Mary:  How long did it take to write this book? Cho:  God works in mysterious ways. As I’ve observed God’s hand at work, it’s easy for me to picture Him as the Great Conductor, orchestrating everything in perfect harmony. Hearts for the Kingdom wasn’t my original plan, but after I sent another manuscript I was working on to my editor, while waiting for him to edit, the need became clear for a foundational book. This book required about six months to complete. Mary: as an author, what is the me...
