Park Place RV Park
On Saturday, Dec. 13th the day started out with Bill up and on the move by 7. I was just begining my morning ritual when he pulled out. Today, no flying, instead there were 3 members working on a wall in their shelter area. He packed a lunch before he left.

| Good morning! The sky at 7 am. The moon waves goodbye. Are they pink angel wings? |
I finished yesterday's blog post by adding pictures while I had my tea. I opened blinds and instantly remembered that it was Yard Sale day in the park. That put a hustle to my bustle and I washed, got dressed and headed out the door with my wallet at 8:15.
 |
| An hour later, the sky was still beautiful. |
It wasn't a cold morning, if you were dressed for it, so I wore a fleece jacket with a wind breaker. It was quite comfortable and quite warm by the time I finished walking around. Ann-Marie walked with me and we went back to Arizona Sun's few sales as well.

| Walking through Arizona Sun RV Park, look closely at the dying Saguaro. Do you see what we saw? |
I found a small container for quilling items (earring hoops, posts and googly eyes etc.) and 2 short sleeve, identical except in colour, shirts from my friend Nancy whom I met when I walked the big block last winter. It was nice to see her again and she said the same of me. I spent a whole $7.
 |
| I made this for the park model Christmas guests. |
When we got back home, around 9, I took Gibbs for his walk and by then had changed into shorts and lost the fleece. 😉 Bill would likely be gone most of the day, so I finished a couple of card decorations and worked on my little reindeer. He's cute and I had fun decorating him.
 |
| This little guy just got cuter by the minute in his little orange sweater. I might be keeping him. |
At noon, I had a tuna sandwich and worked away inside with Gibbs until 2:30 when I walked over to start a puzzle. When I came home at 3:45, Bill was home but had a problem with his right eye. Seems like some sawdust had blown into it and after several rinses, it was very painful.
 |
| While I quilled, Gibbs slept. |
We decided to drive to Parker Hospital and get it looked at. The doctor confirmed it was a piece of wood/sawdust chip but that Bill had got it out and in the process scratched his cornea. 😮 Hence the pain. He gave him drops, which relieved it temporarily, and a prescription.
 |
| A Christmas puzzle is in order. I finished the border before returning home. |
We were in and out in an hour and a half. I drove us then to Walmart to fill that for drops and drove home. I was sad that we missed the Santa Claus Parade, and I was not keen driving home in the dark but two things came into play.
 |
| The sky when we left at 4:30 |
Bill is priority and far more important than a parade that we've seen before (he'll be surprised to hear that! (not really)) and the traffic was thankfully light coming in our direction. I did fine but had a headache upon our return. More from missing my afternoon tea and late meal.
 |
| A quiet waiting room in the hospital. An air ambulance came in when I walked outside. |
We were kinda thrown off our game so didn't feel like cooking or eating a big meal. Of course, we snacked with some crackers and cheese and I had a cup of hot milk since a late cup of tea would keep me awake tonight. Except for the eye incident, the day went well.
 |
| The sky when we left the hospital and it was pitch black by the time we reached home. |
They got their wall finished at the field and I had an enjoyable day at home with our little guy. He got a really good brushing today up on the bed. Tomorrow is another day, what can we get into? We did drop a few degrees in temperature today but it was still lovely at 78F/23C.

Good night!
Thank you for stopping by.
