Yuma, Az
On Sunday, Oct. 25th we rested. That's the long and short of it. We had gone to bed last night by 9 pm, worn out and grateful for the stop. Mind you, if our Starlink was working, we'd probably have watched tv a bit later. That meant an early rising too. Bill was awake at 4:30, Gibbs stirred and I woke up.
 |
| Good morning! Bill took these this morning for me. |
 |
| I was the sunrise photographer though. |
 |
| The Bougainvilla mixed in with the Oleanders along our fence line. |
I don't think he went back to sleep but Gibbs did and I drifted in and out until 5:30 when they both got up. I need 8 hours sleep, usually, and I'd had it. No wonder I was awake! 🤭 I was up at 6. It will take a while, I suppose, to get used to the time changes. We are now 3 hours behind home time.
 |
| We're 1 of 2 guests along this back row so it is nice and quiet. |
We had our coffee and tea and Bill made the call to Mudflap to straighten out our account. Or try to. It worked, at least we got an explanation. Seems because we don't use the app back home, for 6 months, it takes a while to get things back to normal. Silly but true. 🥴
 |
| Pop! |
I captured the sunrise over the Gila Mountains, what a perfect view! Bill and Gibbs had walked first thing, and he took some moonset pictures in the west. I think he knows what I like!! ♥️ Later, after getting washed and dressed, Gibbs and I walked around the park.
 |
| For the short time we're here, I won't be putting my feeder out. Even though he's asking nicely. 😉 |
I also walked on my own and went in to the pool area, the clubhouse to check out and drop off a couple of books we've finished and then the laundry room. We need a card here so will do that on Thursday morning rather than wait until we get to Quartzsite.
It is a beautiful day, and chatting with Donna, Pat and Dot on text back home, they are having one of the same. Well, not quite the same, (we get 85F/29C and they get 60F/16C) but they are getting some lovely fall weather too. 
The pool and surrounding area has
been freshly painted.
I'll be paying it a visit tomorrow, methinks.
💕
Gibbs and I walked down to the
west end of the park where the
mini golf is also revamped nicely.
Then we walked over to the lake
before swinging back home.
I touched base with my friend, Erma, this morning and look forward to their arrival in Quartzsite and a lunch or two while we are there. I hadn't heard from her after our announcement so wanted to be sure they were doing okay and still coming down.
Lunch was grilled cheese & bacon
on garlic Texas toast.
Yummy!
When I came back from my walk, I got the big vacuum out and cleaned up the Suite, top to bottom. It was pretty dirty. We're still killing flies in here so the windows will need to be washed before we leave the park. With accessible water (from the park) it is a good time to take care of them.
While Bill grilled supper,
I was on time to catch the sunset.
The rest of the day was as lazy as lazy gets. Bill went up and paid the $3/day service fee (?) and filled a water bottle. Then we sat and read. It got warm inside but there was a slight breeze so at one point, I went out to the back side (east) of the Suite and sat in the shade.
Gibbs is always on duty.
A barbecued supper again, yay!
For supper, Bill grilled the last two smash burgers for himself and 2 smoked sausages for me. It was good and easy for me! 😊 Bill finished his book before we ate and I'll be finishing The Bounty by Janet Evanovich soon. This is the most we've both read all year!
For dessert, all 3 of us had
a cup of frozen yogourt.
Yes, Pat, they got tucked in the freezer
and forgot about!
Good night!
It has been a good day and we don't foresee too much to change until Thursday. I hope you've enjoyed your Sunday as well.
Thank you for the visit.
