A Full Day, More Visits, More Fun and Food

 Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Mar. 17th, St. Patrick's Day arrived in the same, if not stronger heat, than the previous day. Today's forecasted high was 97F/33C after a pleasant 61F/15C overnight. I hopped out of bed around 7 and right into the shower. 

Good morning!

Bill was in no hurry to go to the field, his flying days are over - for now. Yes, FG, we had a plane crash. The following picture may be hard to look at, but think of how the pilot feels. 😔

Somethin' Xtra
is grounded.

I had my tea and Bill did leave our site for a few reasons this morning. One was to go with a few club members to City Hall to donate a check for the Easter Egg Hunt.

Gibbs and I admired the
red and white oleanders
on our morning walk

The other thing he did was get a haircut. Yes, he was getting a bit scruffy around the ears and he doesn't like that at all. He has a barber in town that does a good job so went and stood in line before returning home with lowered ears. 🤭

Not much different from
yesterday....but a few pieces
fell into place.

Gibbs and I went for our walk, cutting through at the dog park this time. I think he was happy to cut it short too. Back home, I dusted the living room table tops, got the dust mop and dirt Devil vac out and made a clean 'sweep'.

The place was packed!
We were place a table in the
corner near the stage.

I worked on the puzzle with very little success and came home for lunch with Bill. After a sandwich, I brushed Gibbs' teeth. He doesn't exactly 'love' it, but he likes the taste of his toothpaste so allows me to put my finger and his mouth. 😉🐕

The drinks and pizza
were good, as usual.

I had to buy pennies from Stephanie today in order to play Pokeno and then with the help of a 'Penny Fairy' was able to carry on. I sure wasn't winning! Oh well, we had a lot of fun regardless of the losses on my card. Maybe I'll go back to my original one for my last games on Tuesday.

Back at home, Gayle, John and their friends, Mary and Rick joined us at the Suite. Mainly to meet Gibbs. Mary is a real dog lover and no doubt, fell in love with our little mutt. This is the first time we've seen my sister since the fall as they spend the winter in Mexico.

The entertainment was very good

We went to Silly Al's and it was a lot of fun with good food too. The 2-person band (a couple) played well and I thought of my daughter and son-in-law. This is what they should be doing! ❤️ We ate, laughed, and even danced a bit before heading out. 

I'm glad we were able to get
together once more.

The place was packed but we got a table for 6 easy enough. My gluten-free meatlover's pizza was very good and although Bill had to wait toooo long for his, it was very good too. 

A picture of 4 good friends.
They seem well suited.

We said our goodbyes, nice meeting you's and hugs to all before returning to the park.

The sky was pretty when
we came out of the restaurant.

We missed the early episodes of our shows so watched them at 8 MST. This has been a great day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Anne-Marie made everyone these
little shamrocks.
💗💚
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.

Enjoying Some 'almost' Last Moments

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Mar. 16th it was aolmost 7:30 when I got up. Gibbs was focused on Piggy so I didn't get my usual kisses and cuddles. Apparently, he slept right at Bill's chest, head under his chin from 4:30 to 6! No lovin' left for Momma. Daddy's boy. 🐕💕

Good morning!
Nice sky and little wind.

Bill had his shower and decided to take a drive to the field to see who was there to chatter with. He is 'plane-less' for the moment, until his new one arrives. LOL Gibbs and I did our usual walk around 8:30 and the heat was upon us immediately. It was 64F/16C.

On our walk, Gibbs and I checked 
out the White Oleander flowers blooming.

I walked over to the clubhouse for our 3rd last Ladies Poker Pool. There were 7 of us today and a good time was had by all. Linda and I tied for first place so that put a perk in my morning. That rarely happens! 😀 

We may not be pros at the game
of Poker Pool but we still like to get
certain things right! 😂

It was a few minutes past noon when we finished.

Bill had our canopy down when
I returned home at noon.

We had lunch together and Bill and I took our list to Walmart in Parker for a few things. Keeping an eye on what comes into the freezer, but making sure that we have the essentials for the meals until we move from here. We stocked up on our bread, I doubt we'll find anything similar back home.

It's always my challenge to capture
this welcome sign when we go.
Often, I miss it.

With groceries put away and the bank updated (Bill does that), I left them for their snooze and went back to the puzzle at 3. Sue and I had a bit of a chat while she sat with me. Yes, she put a piece in before she walked back to the office. 😉😉 Renae made some progress last night and I added more today.

It's coming along now.
Renae and I have made progress.

Had to take a picture of this 
'not an Airstream' old rv in the
park next door.
I think it might be an Argosy.

When I walked back home at 4:30, the blanket of heat was surely upon us. Still, only a wee tip of the 'iceberg' (oxy moron?) for what we'll have from Wednesday to Sunday. 

When Bill started supper, Gibbs
wanted outside 'with' Piggy. That's a no-no.
No cloth toys outside that belong inside.
He mourned her absence so he and I
went inside with Piggy. LOL
This pooch kills me!

This is only March and although this won't last here anymore than the warm up back home will, we'll carry on. Quite a few campers here and around the area have pulled out a day or two early or have plans to do so. We'll be here until the end of the mongh. Thank heavens for a/c. 

Here's what we're looking at.
I love how they call it
'weather whiplash' but it applies
to other parts of the country.

Supper was good, grilled sausages, leftover potatoes and mushrooms and gravy with apple crisp for dessert. Bill had his sausage on a bun but I had mine on my plate with a hot potato sandwich. May not sound great, but it was good and used up leftovers!

It was a tasty supper!

We cleaned up the few pots by hand and ran the dishwasher with the remainder. I worked on my blog and Bill set up to watch a movie. This was a nice day, couldn't ask for anything better than that.

My St. Patrick's day earrings.
Stephanie guess what they were.
Good night!

Thanks for the pop in!
