Lake Havasu City, AZ
The winds
were still gusting when we woke up on Tuesday, Mar. 3rd. However, it didn’t get as cool overnight as we
thought it was going to. Bill said it was 57F when he got up this morning
around 6. I didn’t follow until after 6:30. I waited for a while, thinking
I’d go for my walk but I guess this is my lazy morning. I’ll go later. So,
instead, I made my tea and caught up on what our blogger friends are doing.
A Canadian quarter was a surprise |
My fingernails
seem to grow really fast down here, that might be in my head, but I guess
without gardening and stuff, they would. So, I rooted around in the bathroom
drawers until I found a small pair of clippers and looked after those before
they start breaking. Bob popped over to let us know that they were driving up
to Oatman, since they aren’t heading that way after leaving here. They invited
us along but we declined since we've been there a few times and we’ll be there next week.
This was an interesting tree in the dog park |
They will
enjoy the trip and it is something where Higgins gets to go along. It is a
special day for him! The little sweetheart is 2 today! Happy Birthday, Higgy!
Don’t be chasing those burros now. We advised him of our plans to go to Havasu Landing on Thursday with the other 3 then I made myself a coffee. It was around 11 when
I mixed up a batch of pancakes and took mini sausage out of the freezer. That
got a smile from Bill, as he was hoping we'd be having them soon.
When I was walking back, there was another group of rv'ers coming in |
I
probably ate too much but it will sustain me until supper. We talked between us
about next years plans and hopes after texting back and forth with our buddies
back home. Not that any decisions are being made but we enjoy discussing the
options, knowing that this summer will determine what we end up doing. After
dishes, I said to Bill that I needed to get out for my walk. It was a beautiful
day, however windy, and I wanted to expel some energy aka pancakes. Ha!
There is a quite a selection of puzzles to work on |
And here is the childish one that someone had started and finished Not enough of a challenge for me |
It was a
wild walk and my hair was in my face often but it was warm and pleasant all the
same. I didn’t go far but checked out the laundry room to discover that they do
have a change machine. As I walked further along London Bridge Road, I spotted
a coin shining on the pavement. The funny thing is that it was a Canadian
quarter so a small possibility that someone above is thinking of me. I’d
received a text from Pat back home so turned and walked home to read it with
Bill.
Brunch with Durham maple syrup I also had some choke cherry jelly on one |
I moved
outside after changing into my shorts. Trying to be sheltered from the wind was
a joke but I wanted to be out of doors so persisted. It was hot in the sun and
when I checked it was 70F/22C. I’d stuck my foot in the pool today and I knew
it would be nice on a less windy day. Both pools are heated although the east
one has a hot tub as well where this one doesn’t. Back at home, as I was reading my book, I recalled having read it before.
A shiny shuffleboard court They were painting it two years ago |
Inside, I
checked my Book List and sure enough Bill and I had finished it last year. Duh!
I decided to move on to a John Grisham book called The Whistler. The winds
picked up later in the afternoon so after I went for a walk to the rec hall to
drop off some books, I moved inside to the couch. Stretching out with the
window open above my head, I got lost in this new book, newer author. I have
only read a couple of Grisham books and was intrigued instantly with this one.
I know
there was a doze involved there on the couch while Bill was punching out
another blog post. He was on fire today! You can check them out at On Our Way
if interested. We watched a couple of old episodes of NCIS and at 6 I warmed up
the leftover lasagna and garlic sticks for our supper. We had the last of
the chocolate pudding with whipping cream to top it off. Cleaning things out of
the fridge at the same time. 😊
A new pair of slippers Again, not perfect but good enough for me |
After
dishes, I worked on my blog and we watched some tv together. I didn’t get much exercise
today but I truly enjoyed the relaxing time around home. I hope you had a good
day too.
Supper, good the second time around Good night y'all |
Thank you
for your visit.
Nice slippers!
ReplyDeletethank you! ;)
DeleteYou had a day much like mine. Relaxing! We need those sometimes. I've never found a Canadian coin, so you are lucky! I have one foot about an inch longer than the other and I think those slippers would fit perfectly. :)) Now I'm wondering what you and Bill are planning for next year. You were a little hazy in your discussion on that subject. Have a nice evening.
ReplyDeleteLove relaxing days - we don't always have to be on the move, right?
DeleteMy slippers are easily adjusted too. I've done it often!! haha
We are just tossing ideas around. We'll be down next year in some form, just thinking of using our memberships more. We'll see!
I admire that you look so far ahead. I have trouble figuring out what I'm going to do next week!! Happy Birthday Higgins!!
ReplyDeleteMany don't plan ahead and often our plans change - even when we do - but it's good to have a few options. :) I didn't even see Higgy on his birthday, they were gone most of the day.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful day to me. Hopefully the wind has died down but Narch dies tend to be windy here in the desert.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was. The winds seem to come and go which is great. Probably those 2 days were effects from the Nashville storms. :(
DeleteI haven't commented in awhile. You will love all the Grisham books. Interesting the weather in Havasu. I am still deep in Southern California and it is getting hotter, every couple of days. The winds are annoying though.
ReplyDeleteHi Peter! My friend Ken is enjoying them too. Some are very long and drawn out but still good stories. :)
DeleteWe are having wonderful weather here in Havasu now that the winds have calmed.
I was just thinking this morning how I can't believe I need to cut my nails again. Maybe they really do grow faster here. Lol!
ReplyDeleteWe just returned from Fry's that I've heard you and George mention many times. Was happy it is reciprocal with Dillon's. Their store is nice. Love those savings... it was over $5. Dean wanted an apple fritter so I got a doughnut. Paid for those and still saved several $$.. Thanks for another tip!!!
Maybe! I wonder why? The dryness?
DeleteWe do love Fry's and their savings. did you get their card? It's free and points add up for fuel. There is an app as well where you can load coupons to the card and when you buy that item, you automatically get the discount. I forget to do the prep work so just rely on my card savings. Usually it is over $20 we save on an $80-100 spree.
