The Park is Busy!

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Jan. 14th, I was up and in the shower by 7. More than anything, my hair needed to be washed. I was out the door at 8 for my walk and discovered there was no one to walk with. 

Good morning!

Bette was invisible this morning and Sue was busy baking for coffee hour. Bill wasn't far behind me with Gibbs and they hopped on the golf cart to do the park rounds. When I realized I was walking alone, I hitched a ride and rode around with my boys.

Make it a good day!

The air was chilly, only 47F/7C, but the sun was bright and warm. There was a small group for Coffee & Snacks so I remained invisible as I opened up the office for Sue and helped myself to a piece of her delicious coffee cake. 

As I walked down to meet Bill
and Gibbs, I thought this was
a nice view.

Bill left at 8:15 for his QDF meeting at Jim's hangar. He'd returned by 10 and our day was off to a running start. There were a number of phone calls, mostly in the afternoon, a couple of reservations and a few site inquiries. 

I wasn't out and about much
today, so this is a picture
I can share from indoors.
Looking good!

For lunch, I had my leftover sausage and Brussel sprouts and that was tasty. I read another blogger's post about making quiche and it pushed me to want to make mine again. Hmm, this weekend for sure. It was always a yummy lunch.

Renee and I worked on the puzzle after lunch and made great progress. She was doing laundry and had a hard time getting out of her chair to tend to her chores! We laughed about that since we are both addicted to the hobby. I didn't get a picture when I left but it is getting close!

When Daddy barbecues,
Gibbs waits.
At home, he is outside with him.

Bill took Gibbs on his walk around the park and for supper he grilled pork chops. There were leftover potatoes to fry and I steamed broccoli for myself and mixed veggies for Bill. We cleaned up the last of the Jell-o I made the other day. A tasty meal.

Supper was good.
Bill had to eat half of my chop.
It was too much for me and still
not my favourite meat.

The evening was typical for us. Watching tv. Last night, I watched more episodes of Gilmore Girls, my how Emily takes after the mother-in-law she detested and doesn't even realize it. Loreli needs that sarcastic sense of humour to get through a day.

Where these low clouds came from,
I don't know.
I went outside for this picture

and this one

This was a great day. We reached 79F/24C this afternoon, an absolutely perfect day! 

This was from our window.
I'm much higher so a better view.

We'll take more of those please. I emailed Lion Brian back home for our weekly Catch the Ace tickets, hoping for a lucky draw on Friday night. 🤭

This bright light has been catching my
eye in the eastern sky for 3 nights.
Hello Jupiter!
Good night to everyone else.

Have a good evening and thank you for popping by.

Warming Up Nicely!

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Jan. 13th I woke at 6:30 with the easy, peaceful feeling that I had no where to be and no time to be 'there'. No walk, no laundry, nothing until after lunch. 😀 So, I just remained in bed until almost 7:30, dozing off with Gibbs.

Good morning!
Who wouldn't want to wake up to this?

After face washes, hugs and cuddles, I did my stretches and got up. Bill was getting ready for flying, we are on call tomorrow so he didn't want to miss it. He did go first and get propane and our water bottle filled before he left. Looking after the 'home' front first. 💗

I sat with Gibbs after a half grapefruit, I'm really enjoying them, and was having my tea. We went for a nice walk around the park perimeter and it was already warming up by then. The sun was brilliant against the stark blue sky. No complaints here!

Now the birdies have beaks
and wings. One is not flapping his.
🤭I ran out of that colour.

I did one small touch up on the whale and added beaks and wings to the birds on my greeting card. Did you even notice that they were missing? Ha ha. I forgot them originially. They are happier now. I'm pleased with how the Newfoundland decoration turned out.

I love this puzzle!

For a couple of hours, I went to start a new puzzle. This one is the quilt one from Nancy. I'm not sure if we'll see her now so figured I'd start on it. It looks like a fun one. I made pretty good progress before I walked back for lunch with Bill.

A memory on Facebook today.
Bill and I at Borrego Springs, CA
in early 2017
That was our first year down here,

I wasn't overly hungry, could have probably skipped it altogether but ate a couple of pieces of toast instead. At a few minutes before 1 pm, I walked over with my penny jar to play Pokeno. We started with 6 of us and 2 more joined at 2. Fun! I managed to stay par, not losing anything.

in the west,

When we parted ways, I stayed with Renee and worked on the puzzle. She is an 'outside the box' kind of puzzler and just gathered pieces around the edges. I need to work 'in the box' attaching to the sides. It all makes more sense to me that way. It is a good start.

Back home at 4, I used Mod Podge on my last pieces and sent pictures out to Robin and Linda. She was unable to make it to our game and she wanted to see how the whale turned out after her suggestions. She was quite pleased but Robin's reaction was hilarious! "Frickin' AMAZING"

I just love that girl! She is a paying customer so those are exactly the reactions a hobbyist wants to receive. It will get wrapped up safely until we get home. I have another project from her for Manitoba so will start on that in a few days.

With no clouds at first peek,
Bill drew my attention to this.
Wow!

Sue has asked if I can do something with a framed picture in the clubhouse. It has given me a challenge and has me thinking about it. Details to follow another day. We had Bill's Burgers, you know the kind, for supper and again......well, 'frickin awesome!' 😂

Before the squishing and cramming,
my wonderful burger!

After my blog, I watched some tv. Last night, I re-watched the movie Arthur the King. A fun, touching story about a mutt. This has been a great day. Fun with friends and my own two sweeties. We reached a high of 75F/22C and more warmth on the way.

I love this.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping around.
