Maggie Cielle-Andrews

October 31, 2009 – October 30, 2017

——————————

Maggie’s given birthday was October 31, 2009. She came to us from Clovis, New Mexico through Arizona Border Collie Rescue for which we were drivers. Maggie lost her battle against cancer one day before her eighth birthday, peacefully passing on the morning of October 30, 2017.

During her life Maggie held a position at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital as part of their Therapy Dog program, walked in Pride marches and The Undie Run which benefits Colon Cancer Research. She was ultimately registered as the Service Animal for Robert. A position that she dutifully filled for four years, allowing her to visit even more people in other hospitals, attend the Arizona Opera, performances by the Phoenix Theater and other events. She chose not to attend the concert by Alice Cooper and Deep Purple.

Maggie was also an active participant in our Sleep Over Rover dog sitting business, by keeping order when we had to leave the guest dog alone. Maggie leaves several cousins; Sam, Franklin, Nellie, Andre, Ruby and Sugar and two cats, Petie and Scout for whom Maggie had the utmost fascination, and her two owners Robert and Cynthia. Maggie will be missed terribly.

REMAINING LEASE OPTIONS Move into house – keep apartment for another 16 months ?!? Vacate the house – make it easier to rent Find another renter at $1,500 – Pay until it is rented Possibly sublet apartment – probably against our agreement Buy out our lease (eg) $3,000 to buy out Let them find another renter at a higher amount – $1,800 ?

CHEF TRAINING

• Focus on 4-6 customers. $50 each, or up to six for $200 total. Does not include menu items

WEB PAGES

• Do simple low-maintenance web pages. $480 / year plus $45 per hour maintenance after development

VidHistory

• Place an ad at our destination prior to arrival
• Film at their house or our condo

Consolidate DVDs	DVDs have to be compressed to a compact storage system. They will then be available in the storage unit accessible area.
Try Chop Master as Food Processor	If this works, we can do without the Cuisinart. Otherwise, it should travel in the accessible part of the trailer.
Photograph artwork	We will use our medium sized TV as an object d’art at the resorts. Photos can be create later, but we need to photograph now.
Use up spices and food	Do the best we can. Whatever we don’t use will be donated or discarded.
Try out 6 and 8 cylinder vehicles	We need something that can pull the trailer, but something with adequate visibility.

The benefits of Timeshare Living are:

We no longer have to pay the monthly things that most people pay.	Electric, water, rent, utilities, housekeeping, yard work, homeowner insurance, house maintenance, etc.
We get to see many more places than we would otherwise be able to see.	America, Europe, Africa, Australia, Russia, China… and more !
We will be using our points.	We probably should never have bought 40,000 points, but we REALLY LOVE our timeshare. We just gained momentum, and couldn’t stop.
Flexibility	There are no rules. We are making all of this up as we go along. We will keep you posted here.
Low Stress	… or is it ?!?! This will just be a different kind of stress, but we are always open for an adventure.

A few of the negative points of Timeshare Living, and how we can address them, are:

As it turns out, we only have 40,000+ points, which is enough for about 20-24 weeks. This is about 5 months.	We live at timeshares as long as possible during the months of June, July, August, and Sept. The rest of the time, we get an apartment rental (or small owned home) back here in Phoenix, with an occasional trip to San Diego, or whatever for a break every now and then.
We will leave all of our friends, family, doctors, and support system back here in Phoenix.	We are setting our Home Resort as The Legacy Golf Resort. If we come back here every six months or so to regroup, we will have a chance to see all of our friends.
All of our artwork and family treasures are here in storage.	They are here: safe and sound. Eventually we will have them with us, but until that time, we are to enjoy the treasures offered by the World.
Robert enjoys cooking, and many of his cooking tools will be left behind.	Decide which tools are the most versatile, and the most cherished. Bring them with us.
It seems we would be moving all the time.	Since we have a 60 day window to get our discount, we can book two months at a time. We also get six upgrades per year. We can call around and find out where the availability is, grab the upgrade, and move. We can even try to stay in the same location whenever possible if we are enjoying being there.
Where do we store all of our stuff?	We will want to replace our bed after this adventure anyway, so get rid of it now. Things like our couch, dining table, TV, etc. will have to be stored in a storage unit. Still cheaper than an apartment. We will use a trailer to move our computers, clothes, cooking items, etc. with us from place to place. If we don’t need them, they can stay in the trailer.
We don’t just want to live in the United States.	We don’t have to. If we choose (for example) to live in Ecuador, we bring our trailer back to Phoenix, store it at my mother’s house, and hop on a plane. We have no limitations on where we can go – except our points. If our points start to run thin, we rent a furnished apartment for a month or two.
We will really miss having our own garden with fresh veggies, herbs, etc.	We can bring some pots with us. Dirt is cheap. We can stack six pots when we travel, and replace the dirt when we arrive at our destination. The problem might be the time to harvest on things like tomatoes, squash, etc.
