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!

Another Short One

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Feb. 3rd we were up by 7 (or a few minutes past). I hopped into the shower as soon as I got up and had the bed made. Bill was eating his cereal and I opted to join him with a cut up banana with cream. 

Good morning!
The sun popped over our neighbours
rv.

I was able to finish my tea before 9 and after Bill and Gibbs headed over to do the park run, I walked over to the office. I wasn't outside much so pictures are very very few. This morning was busy enough with guests paying their electric/hydro bill, so before I knew it, it was lunchtime.

I had my cabbage stew, yummy. Bill declined, as I knew he would. 🤭 The first couple of hours of the afternoon were spent at our Pokeno table with 9 players. That's awesome! I was back and forth to the office to answer phones and to check one couple in but my luck at the table was not good. 

This was later in the day, 
on my walk with Gibbs.
Still a clear sky.

My good luck charm, Bill, was nowhere in sight.  😂 Now that pennies are a thing of the past here in the U.S. too, we keep buying from each other as the need arises. Today, I was not yet in that position but next Tuesday could be a different story. There was some puzzling and Bill helped a bit, but I forgot a picture.

If you know Bill, he can't sit still if
there is work to do.
When a guest checks out of a site,
he is there, weeding and raking for the
next guests. I'd hire him!
Looks great, doesn't it?
He also checks a site before someone comes
in, as not all hosts do the same thing. 🤭

I took Gibbs for his walk before supper and Bill grilled sausages. He had his on a bun and I warmed up the keto 'spaghetti'. It fit the bill and I was full when finished. It has been a hot day, reaching the forecasted 80F/24C with mostly clear skies.

This was supper.
Simple and yummy.

This has been a great day, our last one to help out for a while. I hope you've enjoyed yours. 

Time for a memory!
On Feb. 3/23, we had visitors!
Ken and Shirley popped by!
💗

Funny thing - we had sausages
that night too!
Good night!

Thank you for popping by!
