A Few Wispy Clouds, More Puzzling

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Nov. 19^th I wasn’t awake enough to rise until almost 7:30! I had gone to bed at 10 and was off to dreamland right away. I woke 2 hours later, feeling as if I’d slept a whole night, and realized that Bill still wasn’t in bed and it was only midnight. LOL, luckily, I can roll over and drop right back off. However, that short spurt of being awake kept me sleeping later this morning. 😊

Good morning!
I beat the sun up at least!

Another opportunity to see
it pop

First thing in the morning is the best time for me to walk for a couple of reasons. Number one, there is hardly any traffic at all and I get to enjoy the sunrises. Number two, if there will be winds throughout the day, they have not yet woken up by the time I return. I don’t like walking in wind unless it is warm. At that time of the day, it is seldom warm, especially when it comes from the north or northeast.

The clouds were the premiere

Back home, Bill was almost ready to leave for the field. I made my tea and had cereal while playing my Wordle games. I left the Phrazle until later, it needed some thought. 😊 M has had no serious responses for renting out his apartment so asked if I would not only post it on Marketplace (back home) but also on Kijiji. That was easy this time, just re-activating the same one with a couple of tweaks.

Well, hello there!🐇

Most interested people can’t read (sarcasm) and end up ‘replying’ directly on the ad, even if I tell them not to. I have to respond and point out M’s phone #. Duh! It’s very annoying but M isn’t on Facebook nor is Kijiji his thing. Anyway, it’s posted on both and we can only hope and pray that someone is seriously interested. LOL I then had my shower before taking the little bum for his walk.

Clouds, jet streams, and sunny rays

It was his normal long walk today, as a matter of fact he didn’t want to come home! There were still a lot of things he hadn’t sniffed yet. ♥ He did come in and I made my bp coffee, gave him his treat and went to the puzzle shortly after 10. It is getting easier now that many pieces are in place. For the duplicate pictures of the chocolate, some are complete so I know where the others of the same will go. I know that is probably confusing but I know what I mean, even if you don’t! 😊

Seems to be these communities popping up
all over the desert.
It's a good place for them, I don't see them in the park.

Back home for lunch, I made a peanut butter and green onion sandwich today. Just a switch up from the cold meat. Bill and Gibbs snoozed and I decided to make Rice Krispie squares, the ones with peanut butter. I need to come up with something other than what I’d first planned for the potluck…………..something for a main dish. Hmm, I’ll be thinking on that this week.

Peanut butter rice krispie squares

After the squares were made, they take no time at all, I went to the clubhouse to work on the puzzle again. I told Bill that when this one is done, I may take a break and get out my rocks, paints and markers for a switch-a-roo. 😊 As it turned out, at 4 o’clock when the office closed, I was so close to finishing the puzzle that I couldn’t leave it. Within 15 minutes, it was done and I was on my way home. It went pretty smooth this afternoon, sorting into colours.

We decided on a simple supper of pancakes and mini sausages tonight so I mixed up Bill’s pancake batter from Bisquick and my keto mix from a recipe. I started cooking around 5:30, using my electric frypan for the pancakes, it’s more even cooking space. With home ‘reared’ maple syrup, of course everything was very good! We cleaned up the pans, loaded the dishwasher and settled in for the evening.

Tadah!!

Today has been a bit on the cool side, only because of the ne winds. They weren’t strong, just cool. Gibbs and I went for our afternoon walk, he was so hyped up to get out and moving that I can’t help but wonder what was bothering him over the last week. Anyway, he seems back to normal now, even for Bill in the early morning, he wants to keep moving. ♥

Neither of us could eat them all.
Pancakes are so filling.
Good night!

We reached a high of 69F/19C today with a covering of wispy clouds for most of the day. We’ve enjoyed it!

Thank you for popping by.

Starting Another Week, Winds Pick Up

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Nov. 18^th I had to check my birthday card list to make sure I wasn’t missing anyone – and I wasn’t. Just as well, since the postal service strike would delay them anyway. I was up at 7, got my puppy dog kisses before getting out of bed to start my day. I left for my walk and although the winds were light at that time, Bill said it felt cooler than yesterday.

Good morning!

I was warm with what outerwear I chose but I’m glad I remembered my gloves. It was a nice walk and when I returned, Bill was ready to head out. He told me later that he got a flight in before the winds picked up, which is good. I offered Gibbs a walk before I went to the clubhouse at 10 and the little bum took me around the whole outside perimeter, as he used to. Go figure! Ha ha, I’m glad though, he needs it as much as I do. ♥

I love how some plants/bushes
appear to be dead and then show new growth

There is just something about barbed wire
that reminds me of my younger years on the farms

I went to work on the puzzle and wasn’t making great strides until Bill came in around 11. He thought it was later when he left Jim’s so sat and actually put a few pieces in! I guess that was lucky for me because I began to plop more in after he went home for an early lunch. We had our sandwiches and after he left again, I returned. I felt a lot better when I returned home at 4, having made great progress after eating. 😊

This bus is in the park on the corner.
It is pristine! Love it.
Look at the solar panels on the roof.

Bill wasn’t home yet so I offered another walk to Mr. Gibbs and reluctantly he accepted. We didn’t go as far but he did leave our site and walk to the corner of Coyote and Riggles before he turned back for home. He did find a hard plastic bottle so brought him home to show Daddy and chew on. I eventually took it from him but he coveted it for about half hour first.

Much improved! I'm pleased about that.

The picture on the left is the 'stop and decide' pose.
He decided after finding this bottle.
Let's get it home, Mom!

He almost didn't want to come inside because
his bottle couldn't come in.
He eventually dropped it and came in but then sat at
the door staring at it from the doorway. LOL
It's in the garbage now.

Bill grilled his bacon cheeseburgers for supper and as usual, they were filling and very good. I finished my blog and at 7 we watched NCIS. I’d forgotten to watch The Floor last night, got into a Tragically Hip special. It was 3 episodes long over 2 nights and I quite enjoyed getting to know the band better. That just makes me even sadder about losing Gord Downie though. I never knew much about the band before.

Yummy, as usual.

This has been a quiet day but a good one all the same. We’re happy to hear our traveling friends are moving along nicely and yet glad at the same time that our traveling is done for a few months. 😊 I hope you’ve had a nice day. We reached 71F/22C today. Donna sent us a video of her walking up the laneway at the Ridge while she checked things out. It’s all secure, ‘just as we left it’, she said. ♥ It was a pleasant day back home too.

Now this is a treat! Bill took these
two pictures (among 10 others).
This Roadrunner hangs out at Jim's and seems quite friendly.
Beep Beep!
Good night!

Thank you for stopping in. Always too, thank you for your comments.
