It Comes and Goes, Neighbours Return

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Jan. 26th Bill was up at 6 and at 7 he went down the road to get our 2 water bottles filled.  No line ups! I was just getting myself out of bed. 

Good morning!
I love these clouds to the east.

At 6, when they went out, I grabbed a cold face cloth for my head and tried to go back to sleep and not think about the headache.  I also had to cut my tv watching short last night because it was nagging again. 🤕

When I got up at 7, I was much improved. I had some cereal this morning and took Gibbs for a walk at 8:30 when my tea was done. At 9:15 I joined 3 ladies for poker pool.  A small group today. 

And then I saw the competition
to the west.

Sue was at an appt. with Fred, Anne Marie was not feeling well with a cold, and Stephanie was a no show.  Bette, Linda, Angie and I made the best of our 6 games with Linda pulling out all the stops and walking away a winner with only 2 (TWO) points! 

Gibbs loves his toys
and is so proud to show us at
every opportunity.

I came home with the headache again, not surprising with a lot of chatter, so had a yummy bowl of broccoli cheddar soup. I took some Advil and went upstairs for a 45 minute snooze. That worked again, temporarily. It's very strange, we can't truly know why all of a sudden.

Trumpet vine for your viewing
pleasure. Such delicate perfectly
formed flowers.

I finished the pelican craft for Robin and like how it turned out. Bette suggested a bright flower for the picture with the bird in the clubhouse, so I made one to take over in the morning. I agree with her that it will spruce it up nicely.

Her response was as expected.
She loves him.

Trying to get a routine going and improve my bike balance, I hopped on Lila for the run to the corner. I have 6 days to test her out proper. I really want to keep her, since I named her. 😉 

My legs were tired but
it was a decent jaunt.

These sausages are quite
tasty.

Bill grilled sausages for supper and we cleaned up the last 2 buns. All in good time too, they were showing signs.

Keeping an eye on the clouds that
moved in for the sunset.
Gorgeous!

I worked on my blog, feeling good about tomorrow being Tuesday. A morning with no timed events. 😂 Geesh! I am getting old! 

And sometimes, the east sky
is just as beautiful.

This was a good day and I'm hoping the headaches are just a phase. I hope you've enjoyed your day wherever you are. It was another 70F/19C day, dropping to only 39F/3.5C overnight. Brrr. We have neighbours back again....welcome Tom and Deb!

How does this happen?
Our Grandbaby Quinn is 4 months old already!
Good night!

Thank you for your visit. 

A Day to Ourselves, Lila

Park Place Rv Park

On Sunday, Jan. 25th I woke up hearing Bill talking to Gibbs. It must be 6 o'clock. These pups of ours have inside alarm clocks. Time to pee, Daddy! They got up and out for their walk. Sometimes it is a wild goosechase, Bill following along while he looks for that perfect spot.

Good morning!
Clear sky morning,

I dropped back off until they returned and at 6:45 I got a face lick. It was my turn to wake up apparently. I had decided I wasn't moving until 7 so told Gibbs to 'go back to sleep for a few minutes, it's not time'. He listens every time and laid with his head across my belly until it 'was' time. 💕

Bill had his shower in that 15 minutes. We sorted laundry and Bill carried the basket over to the clubhouse at 7:15. He left for the flying field, always happy after a 3 day sabbatical. I went back and forth until the 2 loads were dried and folded and then had my shower.

The pop of the sunrise.

When my hair was semi-dry (it doesn't take long), I tucked it up under my hat and took Gibbs for his 2nd walk. I made a coffee and walked over to work on the puzzle until noon. Bill returned from flying and joined me. He was no help on the puzzle today but kept me company. 😉

After lunch, I had a nagging headache, which is very unusual for me. I can't recall my last one. I did 'make' my dryer towels though and used Fleecy to soak them in. I'm sure that is what created the aching head, so I can only blame myself.

Bill and Gibbs dozed in the recliner so I worked on Robin's pelican project. I've been running ideas through my head and finally started putting paper to....well, paper. 😂 My headache didn't ease up so I popped ear plugs in and had a 30 minute nap to relieve it.

Gibbs and I walked before supper
and clouds have moved in.

When I got up at 2:30, it was gone. Yay! I hopped on Lila to see if she and I were still compatible. Well, I only rode to the corner of Riggles and Quail Trail and back and we got along pretty fine. I am not ready to part with my trusty bicycle yet. 

I walked over to visit Sue in the office, briefly, it was uke jam time in the clubhouse and we tease each other about it. Today, there were only 3 players, 4 counting Stephanie on the bongos, so it was pretty quiet. I returned home and made a cup of tea.

Well, this is a first.
Opening a jar, bottle, box or bag 
of ANYTHING, you never get a full
container.
Until this. 😂

Crap! The headache was back, of a lesser magnitude, so at 5, I took Gibbs for a walk. It was for me as much as him, the fresh air might help. For supper, Bill cooked fries for himself and I baked the fish in the convection oven and asparagus for me. 

It was good and we each had the last 2 small pieces of apple pie for dessert. After cleaning up the pots, the dishwasher ran and I worked on my blog. Seems a good meal helped and I know a good sleep will do the same tonight and voila! Headache be gone!

This fish was good.
Stayed together, nice thick filets.
It is Swai.

This was a chilly day even though the sun shone prominently all day. Waking up to 40F/5C meant jackets on our first outing, but even the 67F/17C in today's winds felt cool. It doesn't seem right to say that when back home and in western Canada they are experiencing ridiculously cold temps.

I watched Marley & Me again tonight. Makes me feel that Gibbs is a wonderfully trained dog! 😅😅An entertaining movie.

I should have paid attention,
there was probably a lovely sunset.
Good night!
