Quiet Morning, Tyson Wells for Lunch, Game Night!

 Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Feb. 5th I woke up from one of those rough nights. Rough, only because I didn't sleep well. I went to bed at 9:30 last night and after a brief doze, I woke up when Bill came up at 11. That was it. I was hot, even though my window was open but I couldn't get comfy.

Good morning!

Tossing and turning, blankets on, blankets off.......I saw every half hour until 2:30 when I must have dropped off until 4:30. Then, there I was again, wide awake. When Bill got up with Gibbs, I dropped off for another bit and got up at 7:30.

There was hope for a clear sky
although it never really materialized
for very long.
It was still a lovely warm day.

I worked on a quilling project, from one of the wood pieces bought at Hobby Lobby. I think I can spruce it up for selling. When Bill returned from the field, we went to Tyson Wells and found a few things from Bill's fav. vendor and I picked up a couple of bracelets from one of mine.

Gibbs and I went around
the short block.
Follow the leader, Mom!

He treated me to lunch at FishAk (has a ring to it), for fresh Wild Alaskan smoked salmon goodies. I had the quesadilla and a sample of salmon chowder and Bill had a bowl of the chowder. Oh my! Delicious! We'll be going back, it was awesome.

Smoked salmon Quesadilla

It was stuffed!

We met this couple in early January when they came in to the park for a place to rent. There with his parents, Monty and Adele, Travis is trying to make a go of their newly acquired location in Quartzsite. 

Close to Daddy but
keeping an eye on Mom
💕

Back home, Bill and Gibbs dozed while I quilled. My afternoon catnap yesterday may have been longer than I thought and the culprit for my restless night. I wasn't going to do that again! Bill left for night flying after 5 and I walked over for games night at 6.

Picked this up at
Hobby Lobby to see what
I can do with it.

There were 5 of us and we played Cards Against Humanity for the first time. I didn't think I would like it but the more we played, the more we laughed and put our 'proper upbringing' aka 'better judgement' aside and let loose. Stephanie's shared pretzels were my supper. 

Steph and I were on the water
diet tonight but let's just check on the
alcohol content involved here.
This was so fun!

We laughed so much, it has been a while since tears have flowed because of it. 🤣🤣 And all I was drinking was water! 

I was home by 9 and worked on the blog. Bill was happy watching Counting Cars, something different. My blog was going to take some concentration and I was too tired so it will be finished in the morning.  

A bit of a surprise sunset
through our window.

We reached 80F/24C by mid afternoon under mostly cloudy skies. It rained lightly around 8:30 but not for long and not much precipitation. The air was mild when I went to bed, 65F/17C, so another night of windows open. It was a great day, a lot of fun.

Our little love bug.
This was last year on Feb. 5, 2025.
Good night!

Thank you for popping in.

A Fun Day Trip

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Feb. 4th I was up shortly after 6:30. We had a date! I heard Bill downstairs emptying the dishwasher, so got up, washed and dressed so he had the bathroom when he finished. He hopped in the shower and after some breakfast, I took Gibbs for a walk.

Good morning!

So pretty this morning
when we left.

At a few minutes to 8, we left the little guy in charge. Bette has offered to make sure he gets out mid-day for a piddle. To her that means a walk as well. She is a very sweet lady and Gibbs likes her. We arrived in Yuma around 9:30 and met up with Ken and Kim at Hobby Lobby for some shopping.

The sun rises and the moon gets ready to disappear.
The moon followed us or visa versa.

We all walked around, Kim and I together and Ken and Bill together. We made arrangements to message when we were done our shopping. They went to Harbor Freight, the Hobby Store and Home Depot. 

The drives around here, either
north or south, are pretty.
You gotta love the desert though.
We do!

Kim and I finished at H.L. with goodies and then walked to Dollar Tree, Marshalls', Five Below, and Pet Smart. Gibbs needed a new retractable leash. We met the boys at Sam's Club and went in for a walk through. We needed a few things and they were able to find a couple of items also.

The views and the smells 
change as we approach the
agricultural territory of Yuma.

Lastly, we were all hungry and drove to Lin's Buffet for their yummy lunch. I tried hard to behave, eating keto recommended things but the meat and seafood was coated which made it cheating a bit. Ooh, it was very good, our first time this winter.

These beautiful Orange Jubilee
Tecomas at Yuma Palms Mall had Kim and I stopping
for a picture.

We said our goodbyes around 2:30 and went our separate ways. It was nice to be able to meet up and I've wanted to shop with Kim at Hobby Lobby. She suggested these containers for my newly purchased Washi tape and it all fits perfectly! Even my Distressed Ink fits too.

Thanks Kim for the help!
They're perfect!

This was a hot day but lovely with the welcomed breezes. We were home by 3:45 and since Bette had taken him out an hour earlier, we just sat outside with him and relaxed for an hour. I actually dozed in my gravity chair. 😊

Our family relaxing.

Because we didn't need an actual supper meal, Bill snoozed and I walked over to finish the puzzle. And I did. 

One piece missing. 😒

A lovely evening too!

Someone never minds being
alone. We have such a good little puppy.

We reached 85F/27C here and a few degrees higher in Yuma. I love this weather! It was a great day.

In the comments from yesterday's post,
there were requests for the Cabbage Stew recipe.
Here it is. Enjoy!
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
