We were up and at ‘em on Saturday,
Dec. 16th by 7:30. I think we both slept well. Bill had a crazy
dream that he relayed to me while sitting with our morning cuppas. It was a tad
breezy but quite cloudy and 50F so I lazed around until about 10 before going
for my walk. By that time the sun was making appearances and my tea had
settled.
this is me taking myself for a walk |
I bundled up after noticing that Bill
was writing a post. If you follow Bill’s On Our Way blog, you know that is
rare these days. I don't doubt he feels I write so much he doesn’t have to update
you so often! Anyway, I’m glad he is writing and to get out of his hair, I took
my walk. The wind was cool at first but after walking for 15 minutes it was
time to make the climb back up Palo Verde Blvd. This is a workout and I was
working it alright.
The clouds were playing with the sun and apparently the plane flying over too |
Looks like a prickly pear but funny shaped leaves |
Clemson and I sat outside for a short
time and he was restless and indicated that he wanted to come inside. The sun
was making brief appearances and kept me quite warm while reading my book so I
stayed out on my own. It has been a funny day, first clouds, then full sun then
wispy clouds skirting around. Now after 3 it is full clouds again. If they got
rain here, I’d be thinking it might rain. Hahahaha.
An interesting mailbox that I missed the other day |
So, we’ve been inside, Bill working
on his post and me helping a bit with pictures. We’ve planned grilled sausages
for supper with leftover dressing and a veggie. Bill walked across the street to chat with the neighbor with the 5th wheel (whom by the way returned yesterday with his trailer and parked in the same spot).
And for a while the clouds were losing |
We had put the recyclables out with
the garbage Friday morning at 7:30 and they are still sitting there. Not sure
if we missed it or what, hence Bill’s visit. He had a nice chit chat and
somehow I missed the truck. What the heck time does it come? Oh well, Bill
brought it back up and we’ll deal with it before we leave. We’ve managed to top
both bins up to overflowing.
It is the only one I got and I must admit, it is a beauty |
Bill lit the Weber Q at 5 and I prepared my spaghetti squash and warmed up the dressing inside the Suite.
When dinner was ready, it didn’t take
long to clean it up. It seemed like a long time since breakfast at 10:30. We
finished the dishes, I caught a picture of the sun going down in
between the clouds before the day ended. This was a nice quiet day and I hope
you had a good one too whatever you got into.
Thank you for reading tonight. Feel
free to comment.
Isn't it funny how when you blog you feel guilty if you do nothing all day!!! You sit down to write and there are no pictures, no thoughts, just that guilty feeling. Been there done that!!! Thanks for sharing your nothing day with us anyway. The sunset picture was worth it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorne for understanding and for sticking with my posts.
DeleteI know you will be able to tell I am playing catch-up again but when you read my post you will see I have a good excuse...:)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do have some beautiful views on your morning walks.
I love the ride on 95 especially from Parker to Lake Havasu City the scenery is so beautiful.
That drive through the Live Nativity must have been beautiful.
Nothing better then enjoying a do nothing day.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful sunset.
Okay, I'm excited and going to read your post right now!!
DeleteThank you for taking the time to comment!
We have a lot of these kind of days, it is part of the lifestyle and retirement, no nee to be busy every day.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely! We don't mind these quiet days either.
DeletePatsy, the other day you were lucky at the casino and knew when to stop while the going was good (some folks would have been tempted to continue) and overall your days are always fantastic, we like reading your blog because of your cheerful attitude.
ReplyDeleteI find it easy to stop at a slot machine because we can't afford to lose! ha ha
DeleteOur days, busy or not are great. We are always grateful that we can rise and make choices. :)
Thank you for your kind words.
Those different mailboxes you've showed are something else..slow days are nice to have just because they seem toast a little longer. What a beautiful post your hubby wrote :)
ReplyDeleteYup, slow days are nice too. It reminds us that we are retired and aren't usually under any obligation in our choices. :)
DeleteBill does write nice posts, few and far between so maybe part of why they are so special. :)
