Just Enjoying this Gorgeous Morning!

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Feb. 24th we were all up by 7:30. Yes, I was the last after not hearing a sound any earlier. Bill and Gibbs had been out obviously very quietly. He was washed, fed and soon ready to leave for the field. What a beauty of a morning.

Good morning!

I/we behaved last night again and avoided snacking with anything on the 'naughty' list. I did have some of my yogourt though. I was in bed at 10 after watching another movie. Movies I've not heard of and some a bit silly. I started one and abandoned it to watch My Secret Millionaire. Still silly but the star actor was pleasant enough to watch. 😅😂

If you check out where the sun ends
and the shade starts, you'll understand
him crashing right here. 

After my tea, Gibbs and I ventured out for our walk and since there was no breeze at all, it was shorts and spaghetti strap weather. Gibbs walked well, the whole block but when we got home he crashed just inside our site, in the shade. He's so funny. The videos probably won't play but I'm going to try.

Next week he gets rid of a lot of shaggy hair, thank goodness!

Back at home, I sat outside with my book and quite enjoyed the peacefulness. Gibbs was happy with me for a while but soon wanted to go inside. While out there he chased the loose cat off our site. Good security dog! 

Time for a rest 

Bill and I had lunch together and tweaked our grocery list. Payday tomorrow which means our big shop day.

I played Pokeno with 8 other ladies and had a good time as usual. It's a good thing there is no alcohol involved as we can't stop laughing a lot of the time as it is. 😂 We all went up and down with our pennies and I don't think anyone went home broke. 

Continuing with the pretty sky

The heat is on here in Quartzsite, with a high today of 87F/27.5C. The sky is clear with the odd skiffs here and there. You can tell March is around the corner, this is typical, as are the winds that usually accompany the heat near the end of next month.

New quilling tools
Fun!

Bill picked up our parcel from Ironwood Outpost and he got his case of socket drivers and I received more quilling supplies. Yay! These should be fun, a crimper and some paper strips for more decorative creations. 

Supper was an 
'out of my head' recipe.

At 5, we closed windows and put the a/c on. We are going to need it for a while. Especially Gibbs. 💕 For supper, I had ground beef out to thaw so threw together something to eat with some leftovers we have. Bill finished the fried mashed potatoes, I finished the keto spaghetti and it was very filling.

When I walked over at 6:15,
what a beautiful sight

Anne Marie called me outside when
she arrived, we both love the sunsets.

I washed the dishes, Bill dried, Gibbs supervised. 🐶 We'd planned an impromptu game night so at 6:15 my boys went for a walk and I walked over to the clubhouse. There is nothing on tv to watch tonight anyway. 

In 15 minutes before we played
Yahtzee, I finished the puzzle.
It was fun working on it with Renee
this afternoon too.
Good night!

A great day! Thank you for your visit.

Poker Pool, Trying to Keep up the Walks

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Feb. 23rd we both woke up at 6:20 to the sound of Gibbs about to be sick. We react quickly mainly to get him off the bed and onto the floor, just in case. Often, it doesn't happen on time but today it did.

Good morning!
Do you like the Angel?
My active imagination is running havoc
with the clouds these days.

It could be any number of things that upsets their tummy but Bill got dressed and took him for his walk and he was just fine. I went back to bed until 7:30 and enjoyed every last minute of that. Bill got ready to go flying and left before 8, I think, as usual.

I've reverted to putting Gibbs'
harness on when we walk and it makes
the world of difference.
He stays on the path and doesn't get
tangled in the leash.

I hopped in the shower before I had my tea, forgetting completely about yogourt. Gibbs and I went for his walk around the block and I could feel that it was already warming up. At 9:20, I took my stick over to poker pool.

Tom and Deb left this morning.
Deb went ahead with the Jeep.

We were all a bit slow arriving today but although we were missing Anne Marie and Linda, 5 of us enjoyed ourselves. One game was unreal. We were all down to one card and we were all holding the 8. When Angie pocketed the ball, we all went out at the same time. That has never happened! 😂

These are so good and mine was
still keto! We'll do it more often.

Bill was making lunch when I got home a few minutes past 12. An old favourite that he mentioned the other night. Cheese and bacon on buns. We used to do them in the oven but since we don't have an 'oven', persay, he figured out a way. They were delicious! I had mine on 2 pieces of keto bread. Yum!

A couple of hours on the puzzle made
a big difference.

Gibbs and I took a short walk.
He didn't like the heat and kept going
to the shade. He gets a hair cut next week!
Just in time.

I have a correction from last night's post. I said that we were likely going to have chips and cheddar cheese as a snack later in the evening. When 8:15 rolled around, we both averted our cravings and skipped the snack! I was so proud of us. Bill had a yogourt and I had one licorice stick. No promises tonight though. 🤭

I haven't walked this way yet
this winter.
It's a residential area along the desert,
best of both worlds.

If money was no object, I would buy
a house in the Arroyos community.
This one is gorgeous with her flowers
along the fence.

Alternatively, also facing the desert,
there is a Seniors complex, one floor
which is nice too.

I worked on the puzzle for a couple of hours and Bill and Gibbs puttered here at home. Our friends, Tom and Deb, pulled out today but we'll continue to see them over the next few weeks as they've only moved out to Roadrunner Blm. 

Sometimes, life is just too hard
or we get old.
Losing these Saguaros always
saddens me. This one was probably
over 100 years old.

At 4, I took Gibbs for a short walk, his choice, and went for a longer one myself around the residential homes to the east. Now that I've started a bit of a routine, I don't want to lose track of it. We had grilled sausages for supper. Bill had his on a bun and we both had salads on the side. They were good!

Here, I'm on the home stretch.
The arrow points out the park.

It has been a lovely day. Warming, just like they promised. A high of 82F/25C today, just a tip of the iceberg for the next week plus. Works for me! We had a great day.

The salad is bland but it used up a
lot of my fresh veggies. The
sausage was grilled to perfection!
Tender, juicy and pink.
Good night!

Thank you for popping by.
