Flying, Yard Sale, Dog Park, Puzzle

Park Place RV Resort, Quartzsite, Az

On Saturday, Feb. 12^th Gibbs and I went for our walk and on the way back home, we stopped at a Yard Sale in the Seniors Apartment complex. I don’t carry cash with me so had a look at some of her stuff and was impressed. Her prices were yard sale prices and quite a few southwestern items. 😊

We returned home and Bill was soon ready to go to the field. After Gibbs ate, I waited before making my tea and when Bill went out to get in the truck, I hitched a ride to the corner. I wandered back to the sale and the owner was surprised that I actually came back. I’d told her I would but I’m sure many people say that.

Gibbs found another treasure but when we got into
the park, he dropped it so Mom had to carry it home
for the garbage 
He's cleaning up the neighbourhood!

I loved her jewelry, some of it home made, and she had a lot of nice coloured stones as well. However, jewelry isn’t my thing now that I’m not working and already have plenty. I suppose if I purged the old stuff I have and no longer wear, I would have room for a few ‘different’ earrings and necklaces. I’ll have to think about that!

These 3 pieces have clips on the back
for hanging and we have just the spot on
the Bunky! ♥♥♥
that's a $5 steal right there!

I found 2 things and didn’t feel they were over priced so didn’t hesitate paying her price. They will be adornment for the Ridge back home. If we had a house, I would have bought more. Back home, I stayed with Gibbs all morning, reading and sitting outside for a while. When he continued to bark at everyone going by, I put him inside.

Gibbs wandered over to the fenced yard
and then I heard a whimpering and understood why

This sweet gentle dog wanted to meet him
They touched noses through the fence
No barking or anything like that
Just new friends ♥

I feel bad doing that but it isn’t enjoyable for me, constantly admonishing him to ‘stop barking’ or ‘no bark’. Neither works. Inside, he may still bark on occasion but I can ignore him and he doesn’t carry on. Bill returned around 11:15 and we sat outside again for a while, all 3 of us, until it was time for lunch. I fried mini sausages and scrambled eggs. 😊 They were quite a nice change.

The Master of the house

After cleaning up dishes, in the dishwasher, I went to work on the puzzle for a couple of hours. When I returned, I took Gibbs to the dog park and I relaxed in the shade while he scoped the place out. I don’t know if any other dog owners frequent the place but we’ve not seen anyone else there when we’ve gone since Trudy left. ☹

You're probably tired of seeing this puzzle
but you can skip by the picture. 

Once more, back home, we all sat in the shade on the patio. This time, the barking was at a minimum but he still likes the little stones. What a little monster! There’s no distracting him and of course, then he thinks it’s a game. LOL Good thing we love him so much! ♥ When we came inside, having the exhaust fan on, windows open and the blinds half closed the Suite was comfortable.

He watches everyone at the dog park too
He has a very important job

Outside, it was 83F/28C at 2 pm dropping only a couple of degrees by 4:30. Overnights are low 50’s or high 40’s and that is perfect for sleeping. 😊 The only unfortunate thing is that last night I felt the pain from a shingles breakout. I’m used to them, as I’ve mentioned, and try not to gripe too much, but it is on the upper part of the back of my leg. Where I sit. This morning, surprise, surprise! There are two about 3” apart. ☹ Blech.

No wonder he needs to goof off once in a while

By suppertime I was pretty much dragging with the discomfort and took a pill and after we ate, lathered the cream on it for some relief. I changed into lightweight baggy loungers and suffered through sitting for the evening. LOL Tomorrow, they should have at least lessened in the pain threshold so I’m not asking for sympathy. I’ll be better soon. I just can’t figure what triggered it this time.

Bill grilled 2 cheeseburgers for supper and I opted out of having a bun tonight. I filled my plate with all good things and didn’t even miss the bread. 😊 It was delicious! Gibbs has been quite active today, in many ways, so konked out very soon after we cleaned up after supper. ♥ Bill says that he’ll be up and running around in an hour wanting to chase his ball. 😊 Likely!

This was a good day and I thank you for stopping in!
