Coffee and Lunch with a Friend.

 Park Place Rv Park

On Wednesday, Mar. 25th I had a date! I had a wonderful sleep, not waking until 6 am but was not in a rush at all. Bill went to the field, just for social time. They are also coming to an end.

Good morning!

Gibbs and I went for our walk within the park and managed to upset Rosy, Anne Marie's pooch, one more time. Not too badly today, I just kept him moving along past the dog park as quickly as possible. 🐾

It was to be another hot day so I chose a summer dress to wear since I was going out for lunch. At a few minutes before 9 I went to the clubhouse and started flipping pieces over and during border pieces of the next puzzle. 

This is a really old puzzle
but TK's pictures never grow old.

Sue helped because who doesn't like a Thomas Kincaid picture? Bill joined the last few minutes of coffee hour and left around 10. I finished the border and returned home at 10:30. 

Greek omelette and toast.
Yummy!

At 11:30, Erma picked me up and we went to Mountain Quail restaurant on Main. There are always varying reviews on venues, this place is no different. With 2 locations in town, we chose the newest one. 

I had the Greek omelette with a piece of sour dough toast.  It was very good! We had a great catchup and exchanged some health tips and travel plans before she dropped me off at home. It was really nice. We vowed to try and do it more often this coming winter.

The sky is pretty clear.
That means it is pretty hot.

I gave him his hat and left him
to it.

Bill had decided to work on the box in the back of Black Beauty. He built it in there to carry his planes back and forth and wanted to see how much he could pack in there. The more that fits there, the less that has to come inside. 😌

Okay now what?
I'll decide tomorrow.

I went to work on the puzzle and left him to it. I began to start on the sky pieces and managed to finish that section. Before I got carried away, I returned home around 3:30 and joined my sweeties. Not much was happening at home so I started my blog.

The view from the clubhouse ramp
That's our Suite, right in the middle.

Supper was tacos and they always fit the bill. However, although they are delicious, they are extremely messy! We cleaned up and watched a movie together. Today, was another hot day. We reached 103F/35C and I longed for the overnight cool down of 67F/18C.

Taco supreme - kind of.
Good night!

This was a good day, I enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by.

Our Minds are Busy, Pokeno - Win or Lose?

 Park Place RV Park

It's Tuesday, Mar. 24th and the days are zipping by. Yesterday was such a useless day, all I did was sit around in the afternoon and play online games or read online. I didn't even feel like reading my book. I did think about what I could pack up that wouldn't seem too early but just 'thought' about it.

Good morning!
This was last night's sunset.

Last night, it cooled off nicely, but not until around 11, Bill said. He opened windows downstairs and had turned the a/c on upstairs at 10 when I went to bed. We don't run both at the same time, there is no need and we are only plugged into 30 amp.

Why am I taking a picture of this
palm tree?

Because Gibbs and I were being
closely watched.

I watched the next CIA episode last night, I'm enjoying that, and then on Stack TV, I started with the first 2 episodes of Ponies. These girls have me interested already, Persons of NO Interest, a spy thriller. I was up around 7 this morning to, hopefully, a more productive day.

It was a hot sky already
as we made our way back home.

We heard yesterday that there was a 6' rattlesnake spotted down by the dog park and under an rv. That is the southwest corner of the park and we are on the east side but we'll still keep our eyes out when walking Gibbs. We still haven't seen one....and that's okay!

That's it, I am so tired
and hot.
I just can't do it, Mom.
(he eventually did it and we sat
outside in the shade for a while)

Bill went to the field for one last flight with his Somethin Xtra and so, here alone, I dry mopped the main floors and climbed up on a chair to rearrange the top cupboards at the back of the Suite. I put all of my homemade Travel books up there, and secured them tightly.

When Bill got home around 10:30, we drove to DG Market. I needed a card (a non-personal one), and cottage cheese 😀 and Bill wanted a tote to pack the new QDF hats in for the summer. They need to be in an airtight container that mice can't get in while stored.

Before the ladies arrived
I set up my funky tripod
and phone camera
to test out a shot.

He began bringing his 'stuff' in to fill that empty space at the back of the Suite. I stayed out of the way while his mind went to work. He has 2 large(r) pieces of equipment that need to get home safely along with plane kits and fuselages........you get the drift. LOL

Everyone was feeling pretty
happy! Cheese!

We had lunch and I took my wee collection of pennies to Pokeno. It started with just 4 of us and then Sue was able to join for the last set of 10 games. The good news? I was winning! I came home with a near full container so I guess I'm in for the fall games! 😀😂

Top pix = my few pennies on the right
and today's winnings on the left.
Bottom pix = I'll be carrying this weight
with us until the fall so I can play again.

Bill had the back of the Suite packed up right good and proper. Holy cow!It is strapped down well and won't budge during our travels. For supper, we had bbq'd pork chops, air fryer baked potatoes, broccoli. I usually call meals like this 'Sunday night' dinners. 

Sunday supper on a Tuesday night.
😂

The chops were..chops, I wish I enjoyed then more but the potatoes baked in the air fryer - um, crispy skins! I loved that. A bit more cooking for Bill's larger potato would have been perfect. I'll remember next time. 😃

He was Mama's boy today.
Just wanted to sit and cuddle,
how could I resist?

We cleaned up the few dishes and once that and my blog were done, relaxed for the evening. Once it cooled down outside enough, we put the a/c on upstairs and opened windows down here. 

This is the back of the Suite now.
Safe traveling for everything.
Good nght!

It has been a great day, more fun, more packed. The temperature on my phone app still showed it reached 102F/35C.

Thank you for the visit.
