Nothing Like It, Keeping up with the Dust

La Posa South, the Q On Sunday, Jan. 9th Gibbs and I were out the door for our walk at 7:30. We went in a different direction today, up the main road to the water and dump station. We met a couple of people, another little mutt and squiggled our way back home. Bill was downstairs and as much as I’d have liked to drink my tea outside again, it was a bit chilly at 44F/5C. 😊

Many things are brightened by the suns glow, even Gibbs!

So, we drank it inside and Bill had cereal. I got my oatmeal ready with half a banana mixed in. The batteries were a bit low from our Keurig kicking in this morning so I waited until about 9 to have my breakfast. Bill decided to take a drive into Quartzsite and see if anyone was at his club’s flying field. They are called Quartzsite Desert Fliers and one of the main reasons that we are in the area for a couple of months.

After Bill left, Gibbs pined for a while over the loss. ♥

It had warmed up nicely by then, in the sun at least, so I took my book out and sat with Gibbs on the patio. I just let the warmth wash over me and enjoyed the time. There was no where I needed to go today and nothing that needed to be done. Well, I did a quick dust through of the Suite late afternoon but that is something that needs to be done every few days no matter where we are. Bill returned before noon and we sat and relaxed together.

Oh, the joy of a puppy. Around 1:30 we thought we should eat something, even though we’d had breakfast this morning, so had a light lunch. Keeping an eye on how much water we use, we left the few dishes until supper. 😊 The book I started is a David Baldacci story that Bill read first. It’s called Walk the Wire and I’ve easily swept through 50 pages. I guess that says how lazy I truly was today.

You'll wonder if he's awake, but once I speak, the tail starts. When I ask if he's a good boy, it speeds up. ♥ We (Bill) experimented with Gibbs this afternoon. He brought out his rope for play time where there was actually room for the little guy to get some real exercise. He took him off his rope leash and they played for a few minutes, with Gibbs resting and stopping for a drink every so often. Then, he decided to just take off around the Suite and thought the whole thing was a game. Around and around and around etc.

Our sun shade came in handy today

Bill got his kite out today, the wind was perfect

Bill also put up a temporary wind break It took two of us and a whole lot of treat bribery for me to grab hold of his collar. He went inside for half hour while we remained outdoors. The little bum. It’s frustrating as well as scary when he started wandering further. Anyway, it all ended well. For supper, Bill started the generator so I could air fry the chicken thighs. They were still partially frozen so took longer than I’d hoped. I made poor man’s mac & cheese with peas for the side.

After dishes, we watched a movie together while I finished my blog post. It was another great day, no more needs to be said than that. A happy day, nothing like it. 😊

Go fly a kite!

One last video of the boys playing 'fetch'. Good night! Thank you for your visit.
