Here Comes the.........Heat

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Feb. 21st I dragged out of bed at 'almost 7:30'. I had another night full of dreams but complicated ones that left me changing my head to clear them out. Gibbs, at one point, early after we went to bed, found himself in right under my curled legs.

Good morning!
Our security system works great!
(almost free!)

When I woke and realized it, I moved closer to Bill but couldn't drop off until Gibbs moved. Funny, how you just need to stretch your legs.......when you can't! We had our breakfast, well, a cup of tea for me and some yogourt, and set about our last volunteer day. Bill and Gibbs on the cart and me in the office.

A new puzzle and today's progress.

I finished the sign I made for the park and then put the puzzle away and opened the new box. Oooh, this one will be another treat! We received another new booking and he will be arriving later today for a month. Nice to fill those spots during the season. It makes the managers happy! 😀

I think Sue likes the sign
I put in the park office.
It is free standing.

After lunch, I opened things up again and worked on making a  birdy (thanks Nancy for the suggestion) for my framed flower picture. The puzzle is always available but Deb was popping over for a wee lesson on how to use the quilling comb. 

After my shift, I took a walk
around the block.

At 3, almost on the dot, our arrival pulled in and Bill got him situated on his site. I did some more puzzling, which is nice but seeing the sun shining outside made me long for it.  When we finished today's shift, since Bill had already taken Gibbs for his walk, I struck out on my own. 🚶‍♂️

This guy was just cruising along slowly,
enjoying the day,

I walked around what I used to call the 'middle' block. It felt good and now that we should have some steady warm days, I hope to keep it up - daily. I prepared birthday cards for our upcoming birthdays next month and finished my tea.

The Arizona Lupine are everywhere.
Not quite as pretty as our back home,
but these are wild and lovely to see!

I'm not sure, but outside of
Arizona Sun Resort is what I think
is a new Bougainvilla.

I couldn't resist being a bit playful
with the camera.

Unfortunately, the winds over the last
4 days was playful too and this gazebo
didn't survive. 

For supper,  Bill grilled his bacon cheeseburgers. To stay on track, I had mine in a tortilla and it was delicious! It has been a great day. Easy peasy. We reached a pleasant high of 71F/19C with very little wind.

I miss the bun but this was very good!

Bill popped our gazebo back up and our 'host' neighbours behind us returned. We'll enjoy our next 6 days off!

The last word (behind the post) of this
quote is: 
Nap.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.

Stuck in the Middle with You

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Feb. 20th (how did we get so close to the month's end?!) it was 7:15 when I woke, ready to get up.  Bill was downstairs getting breakfast when I came down after washing and getting dressed. I had my blog to finish, I was tired last night and in bed at 9:30.

Good morning!
This should have been yesterday's
picture - bad hair days.

We were supposed to get some relief from the winds today and although it started out calm, they picked up again throughout the morning. Not near as bad, which was a blessing. I was inside all day so it didn't much matter to me. Unfortunately, that meant hardly any pictures!

Bill and I volunteer our assistance 3 days out of 9 and he woke up this morning asking me if this was our last day. 🤭 Well, no, just our 2nd. When it is so quiet in the park, it is even harder to stick around when 'on call'. So, I understood his query but we're stuck in the middle today.

We finished it!
Wait until you see the next one!

The day went fine, I finished the puzzle early since Renee had left me an area to complete. We make a good team so I don't always deserve all the puzzle credits. She helped me with this one for which I was grateful. 

I took 2 reservations for a month each and fielded one other phone call. Bill and Gibbs did their park run and Bill went for the mail at Ironwood Outpost. I was able to finish my clubhouse pictures with Mod Podge so they are now secure for a long time. I hope.

A pretty sky this morning.

Bill walked Gibbs before 4 and we closed up shop for another day. The sun is warm and the winds have dropped off considerably. For supper, we had fish and chips....I opted out of the fries, trying to be good with the carbs. (again)

We reached a lovely, sunny 65F/16C and a promise of warmer temperatures throughout our coming days. Yes! We had an after hours call for a one night stay but they weren't going to be able to arrive before darkness and changed their mind for a closer (to them) stopover.

I had pretend spaghetti with
my fish. With lots of butter,
salt and pepper, I like it!

Supper was good and when it was done, we chatted with 'our' youngest daughter, Jess. An update and just hearing her voice is always great. She's a way out and up there in Alberta, bearing the cold, bitter winter. This has been a great day!

So, time for a memory picture.
This is our visit to Nancy's former home
in Vail, Az on Feb. 20, 2018.
Here she is with Cooper's sibling,
Jessie.
Good night!

Thank you for popping by.
