Last Day in This Paradise, Walkabouts, Propane, Pool

We were up to welcome Tuesday, Nov. 7^th by 6:30 so had slept in a wee bit later than our previous mornings. We did our reading and had our morning coffees before Bill got out the materials needed to wash our outside windows. Man, they were dirty! He had the step ladder off when I thought it was a perfect opportunity to sit on our patio in the sun. Nothing like watching someone work. Well, I actually didn’t even do that, I read my book.

Saying goodbye to the Park clubhouse

A great place to have breakfast and other occasional meals together
or for simply playing cards

At 10 o’clock Bill took our small 20 lb. propane tank from the Weber to the fill station right behind us and stood in line. There were quite a few tanks dropped off but if you stand and wait, they serve you first. Worked for us. Our tank was outdated, not surprising, but here they are only 5 year refillable where at home they are 10. Even at home it was outdated this year. The price was right though at $2.50/gallon.

The Propane Station

The friend from Kingston in the Solitude the other night stopped over to chat with us after getting his tank filled. Nice guy and we exchanged cards this time. They are heading to Lake Havasu and Bullhead City over the next few weeks, just like we are, but different spots. This morning Bill called AOR and got a couple of reservations made for us so we are a little on the books (aka scheduled) now and know where we’ll be and when.

I'm not the only one who enjoys the sun

After a second tea, I closed my book and wandered back to the Main Office to buy stamps. She doesn’t have a lot so I bought what I needed to mail a couple of post cards. Then I stopped in to check out the round puzzle but there has been slow movement on it since I left it and still no books that strike me as ones I wanted to read. Back home, Bill had finished the windows and was enjoying a coffee outside as well, with Clemmy.

We had some excitement today at the park

 Such a beautiful day today, sitting in the sun here at 17C/63F  feels like 80F at home. So nice! I brought my laptop out to the picnic table so I could start my post and continue to enjoy the day while Bill was working. Next, he checked on the Suite tires. We’re pulling out in the morning so we’ll be doing the overall check outside, dumping tanks and securing the inside before we leave. We are going from one park to another so we don’t need to fill our fresh water tank.

Ambulance

I went to the pool after having some banana and yogourt for lunch and had a nice conversation with another rv’er. She and her husband are from Michigan and are here for the winter. Talking to her makes me even more grateful for the life Bill and I are able to experience. She is a recovering cancer patient going for one last chemo treatment tomorrow and looks as healthy as I do. Very, very nice lady. I wish her well.

It was beautiful at the pool

Tonight, for supper we are warming up our leftover steak and I’ll make up a salad on the side. That should do it. I didn’t take many pictures today so I’ll make this short as I believe pictures encourage you to stick with me! It has been a good relaxing day for me. Sometimes it is good not to have things going on, we all know that. With an hour and a half before supper, I walked up to the clubhouse and worked on the circular puzzle once more. I was really making progress so hope someone else carries on. For me, being a full-timer, I love that I can still get my puzzle fix.

Thank you for stopping in. I’d love to hear from you if you have time.
