Chillin' with Patsy: Boccee Ball, Puzzles, Quiet Times

Pilot Knov RV Resort, AZ

On Monday, Dec. 13^th Gibbs and I took our walk first thing and then Bill and I walked over to Boccee Ball with the gang. 😊 We truly feel part of the gang here and even though there were a few new ‘friends’ to us, it’s like Cheers where

♪“Everybody knows your name” ♫. There were 16 of us so both courts were opened up with Barb manning one and Gord manning the other. Bill and I were on opposite courts.

Gibbs and I enjoy our walks
He actually is carrying his stick around this morning

It was a lot of fun for 2 hours. We returned for lunch of bacon and scrambled eggs on the Weber. My grill pan is working out great. 😉 After dishes, I left the boys and went to work on a puzzle. Another 2 hours of fun as I met up with two Canadians from Vancouver Island. Not much puzzle making got done since Lynn and I clicked immediately and then Elaine, her friend. It was 3 when I moseyed back home but could’ve stayed longer, easily.

The court was looking good this year

We had a cool start to the day again today, about 47F/8C but unlike my sister, in Quartzsite, we have our fireplace on overnight that keeps the Suite to a pleasant 63F/17C. Some like it hot, some like it cold. 😊 If we were in the desert, we would be using our Blue Flame heater. Mid-way through our bocce game this morning, I went from 3 light layers to a t-shirt and I wasn’t surprised to see Bill take his jacket off. It warmed up to the mid-60’s and that’s under clouds.

Tomorrow, it sounds like a wind storm will be coming in on an even milder day. We aren’t going anywhere except maybe the clubhouse for an exercise class and puzzles. I started a new book by Beverly Lewis. It’s another different one for me, called The Stone Wall and 5 chapters in it has me hooked. ♥ I hope that lasts throughout all 500+ pages.

For supper, Bill bbq’d cheeseburgers and I mixed up the Caesar salad as a side. I opted not to have a bun, eating my burger on a bed of lettuce with knife and fork. I’ve put on a few unwanted pounds (not surprisingly) so I’m trying to cut back where I can talk myself into it! Ha ha. They were good and we had a slice of Christmas cake with cheddar for dessert.

No hope in heck of picking this 'lettuce' burger up
so a knife and fork did the trick

The first 2 hours of The Voice finale is on tonight so we watched that through supper and dishes. The evening passed quietly, much like our day did. It was a good one and the beginning of a new week. 😊
