Pilot Knob RV Resort, Winterhaven, CA
Bill and
I were up by 7. I opted to join him with a cup of tea this morning and then at
8 we headed out for our walk. Brrr. The wind was brisk and it was only 41F
making for not a very pleasant morning. We walked out the front entrance and down
the road behind us. It is a nice walk around the outside perimeter of the park.
We were back home after our mile and a half, quite refreshed. How nice to walk into a warm home!
 |
| Our walk took us out and around the park This is looking back to the Interstate and the traffic going west There is a train going by as well but I didn't zoom in |
 |
| Gila Mountains to the east |
 |
| A wee bit of pink sunrise along the horizon and that was the extent of pretty sky until it set tonight |
At 9:20
we headed towards the Bocce ball court and stopped to say goodbye to our new
friends, Steve and Lynne (and Jack). By the time we got to the court, Gordon
was waving us on, saying the wind chill was making it nasty. No bocce ball
today. That worked for us as we really wanted to get into Yuma for some running
around and food shopping. Which we did, right promptly. First stop, Ross’s for
me. I ran in quickly and picked up a second pair of Polo shoes. Yay!
 |
| I like walking this road |
 |
| Looking from the west field back to our site Notice the flag blowing in the wind It kept it up all day |
From
there, we went to Sam’s Club for about 8 items and came out with 12.
After that we drove to Southwest Exchange in the Foothills of Yuma. Bill wanted
to talk to someone there about what was the best way to fix the area on our
roof/slide-out that was leaking earlier in the fall. We’ve had some suggestions
and some ideas but now at least have a better idea how NOT to spend our hard-earned
dollars. I’m glad he asked a professional so now at least we’ll look for the
right stuff. That doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate help from our friends!

| This is such a pretty tree and usually this corner site is taken |
 |
| Just when I know the way to Yuma Palms Mall Bill changes the route Ha ha |
Before
leaving the parking lot at Fry’s, Bill pulled up to their gas pumps to fill the
truck. Because of a mix-up on our card, we had 2 for some reason, we missed out
on the discount. Now that we’ve got it straightened out, next time we will get 20¢/gallon off. It
was 1:30 or later when we left the hobby store so Bill took me to IHop for
lunch. We hadn’t eaten before we left home at 10 and other than a snack bar on
the drive. This was a treat! I ordered a bacon tomato and cheese omelette with
hash browns on the side. Heaven!
 |
| What is Ptooties doing in the parking lot? Did she follow us to Arizona? |
 |
| In honour of Rob, we ate at IHop |
 |
| Lots to choose from just on this omelette page I had the Bacon Temptation, 2nd from the bottom Bill had the 2 x 2 x 2 (eggs, sausage and pancakes) |
 |
| A great meal and I ate the whole thing! |
 |
| We're seeing a little more pink sky at sunset than we did at sunrise Hopefully sunshine tomorrow! Good night y'all! |
Thank you for your visit.
I’m sending WARM vibes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Bring some with you too!
DeleteIt was cold today, I have to agree. I wore a fleece jacket outside and didn't find it overly warm. I think the wind played a big role in the temperatures.
ReplyDeleteWarmer days ahead I'm sure.
We kind of feel like wimps about the cold but this was an unusual day for sure. For snowbirds. :)
DeleteAnd I thought heading to Southern California was a good way to find warmer weather. Nope. Cold here too. Might be nicer by the end of the week though. Stay positive!
ReplyDeleteWarmth is a-comin'! I agree with you!
DeleteSounds like you two had the same kind of day as I had. Shopping and staying inside. Saw a MH go by this afternoon with Florida plates. They are probably wishing they had just stayed home where it's warm.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the Florida people. I'm sure they are rethinking this adventure!
DeleteI gather the Polo shoes were comfy, if you bought a second pair. It's nice when you have a successful day shopping and can end it by dining out especially if the weather isn't that great for sitting outside. As you were describing the chilly morning walk I thought it was funny (your blog name was kind of fitting for today :))
ReplyDeleteYes, very comfy with good soles and lightweight for the warm weather (if that ever sticks around for more than a couple of days!) haha.
DeleteYou are right, my title is VERY fitting today!
I'll trade you, it was -13C this morning but it is supposed to get up to the freezing mark this afternoon. I'm hoping to convince myself to go for a walk.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I kniw, we're wimps now, right? haha
DeleteI'll decline the trade though and look forward to warmer temps. :)
Catching up, it was a wonderful treat to be invited to dinner at JoAnne and Bob's delicious food and a fun time. The picture you caught, labeled coming in for a landing, with the oranges of the sunset and Bill's plane is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if it would get a little warmer or if the wind would go away...
Appy New Year to both of you! Hoping for warmer temperatures for you.
