Heating Up, Puzzling, Tentatively Making Plans

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Mar. 8th it was 7:15 when my eyes popped open enough to look at the clock. My boys had been out an hour earlier and Bill was bringing the clothes onto the bed for sorting. Laundry day! How exciting! With the hotter weather, no jeans were dirty, so the two loads were smaller.

Good morning!

He went to the field after we loaded the machines and I was finished by 9 am. I washed my hair, and it dried quickly within the first 100' of my walk with Gibbs. Fine, thin hair does that. Gibbs walked well, leading the way like a proud little man, There was a lot of P-mail today!

He has a birthday this week so I wanted to make his doggie cake this morning. Well, I think the verdict is in.........the convection part of our microwave oven is on the fritz. Not completely, since it baked the cake about 25% - the top half.

I made a coffee and took it over to the clubhouse around 10:30. Using the oven there is a bonus for guests, and it was baked within 10 minutes. It didn't turn out as good as it did the last time, so maybe I doubled the recipe that year. 

Renae worked on the sky last night.
She's the night owl of our group.

While there, of course, I worked on the puzzle until almost noon when I returned home. We had lunch, I finished the last of my cabbage stew (heated on the stove) and when Bill and Gibbs stretched out for their snooze, I went back. The grass is probably the hardest but I persisted and made good progress.

Bill took Gibbs for his walk and I started my blog. Today is a warm one, 85F/29C, with a clear blue sky and some moderate winds around 8 mph. It seems hot inside the Suite but the breeze and our fans are keeping us comfortable. Gibbs is not panting so much anymore!

For supper, we are having leftover lasagna, coleslaw and a couple of rolls. The reheat part of the convection/oven works so we'll just play it by ear and weight out our options. This is our 2nd replacement!

The last of the lasagna
and the coleslaw.
Rolls are in the freezer.

Supper was good and filling so we skipped pie tonight. We sat out for a bit after clean up and Bill went to get a water jug filled. We are volunteering over the next 3 days so won't be going anywhere other than to the mail depots. This has been a great day.

Back home our family and friends lost an hour of their sleep time. Now, we are 3 hours behind them for a while, until we start heading across the states.

Sleeping in! Impromptu 'Risk'

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Mar. 7th, I was blown away when I opened my eyes the first time and it was 7:45! That has not happened in a while but as Bill said, I obviously needed it. From what, I don't know, since I was in bed shortly after 10 as per usual.

Good morning!

It started out fairly calm again so Bill went to the field for the morning. I played my online Wordle and Scrabble-Go games while having my tea and then Gibbs and I went for our walk. The winds had picked up by then, around 9:30, but the day was beautiful already.

The next puzzle is on the table

The sky was clear blue and the 50F/9C had jumped to 57F/13C quickly. I prepared a coffee to take to the clubhouse and walked over to say hello to Sue and then start a new puzzle. I debated over a really tough looking one but changed my mind for this one.

Lila is on board

Bill and I had lunch together, for me 2 sunnyside eggs on keto toast. Kim inspired me yesterday, now I just need to pick up more Daisy cottage cheese to complete the meal. I received a text from Stephanie about an impromptu game at 1 pm so I walked over to join.

Eggs on toast
Yum!

I'd never played Risk before, no had Sue, so 4 of us sat down and fought for our countries together. Sue chose blue soldiers and artillery and the board soon changed colour as she won wars left, right and centre. That was fun, once I caught on and it really does come down to the shake of the die.

Our package from Amazon 
provided me with more 5mm strips
for quilling.

It was 4 when I returned to find Bill and Gibbs sitting under the canopy.....at its lowest level. It looked cozy so I joined them under there. At 4:30 we came in and I had my afternoon cup of tea while starting my blog. It has been a really nice day!

This game was interesting
and fun. Some stragey involved
that Stephanie helped me with.

As I walked home, a few pictures
of our surroundings.

For supper, we finished up the bit of roast beef in hot sandwiches with keto bread, gravy and coleslaw on the side. Of course, we had more pie for dessert, with cheese on top. Bill has always added cheese to his apple pie and I like it too. I seldom refuse cheddar on anything!

Sitting together under the
shortened canopy.

There was only one pot to wash and Bill took care of that. The night is young, as I write this, so no telling what I'll find to watch. I hope you've enjoyed your day too.

Supper.
Good night.

Thank you for the visit.
