Pilot Knob LTVA
On Sunday, Nov. 6th we took our time getting up, it was 7:30. I took Gibbs for a little walk to the west across the blm desert. There was a bit of wind but it was a lovely morning around 53F/12C feeling much more like 60F/15C with that clear sunny sky beating down. I made a tea when I returned and had a cut up banana with milk and cream.

You will get
a kick out of the fact that since we arrived in Arizona, Gibbs has been eating
both breakfast and supper meals without ‘cheese’ encouragement. It has happened
almost as quickly as his refusal to eat happened when we arrived back home in
the spring. What the? I guess he loves Az as much as we do! 😊 After my tea was done and I’d read blogs, Gibbs and I went
out to sit.

The flies were pretty much non-existent for the first while as I played my Wordle games. Such a beautiful view all around us, certifying our love of this dry landscape. Bill joined us for a while, sitting on the steps under the shade of the awning and then he let Gibbs off his rope to play ‘fetch’ with his blue toy from home. That’s what we call it, his toy.

When I
got too hot, I rejoined them both inside and got into the book that I’ve just
started. A J.A. Jance, Web of Evil and I’m caught up in it already. This one is
involving Ali Reynolds as the main character. We discussed supper meals and
agreed to get back to our ‘more proper’ way of eating, forgoing potatoes more
often and eating salads. With that in mind, I cooked bacon and eggs for lunch
as another way of getting back on track. 😊

After dishes, Bill and Gibbs went upstairs to watch a movie (& likely have a nap) and I slipped out for my walk. Today, I walked west and ended up near the park. From the back, looking in through the fence I could see that Pilot Knob RV Resort has a lot of empty sites. Well, I guess it is only early November so perhaps it will fill up later. Since Thousand Trails took over the park, their prices have increased too much for our budget.

When I
returned, I was quite warm/hot so just got my water bottle out and sat with my
book. Gibbs went back and forth between Bill and I from upstairs to downstairs
and often he ended up stretched out across the cooler floor. The wind picked up
this afternoon and the breeze coming in through the windows was quite welcome.

I see that Jim and Linda have returned
And I see that our spot is empty as is the
whole row we were on
Surprise!
For supper, we had pork kabobs with Caesar salad and it was very good. Unless we have a cookie or one of my cinnamon roll cheesecakes, we’ll skip dessert tonight. This was a really nice quiet day here at home. ♥

Thank you
for the visit!
Reads like a good day in the desert. Sad that the park raised its rates I know you always enjoyed your time there. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad about the park and it is our loss as well as theirs. A small increase we understand, but it jumped 250/mth.
DeleteIt's a shame that the park raised the prices. I recall you really enjoyed staying there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that warmth - I could use a little of it myself. :)
It is a shame. We've been going to the park since our first year in 2016.
DeleteOMG your dinner looks so yummy! I love salads but when it's 30 degrees outside, not so tempting LOL. That is too bad about the RV Park and that's a horrible increase in prices!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shirley. The kabobs were tasty, we enjoy them. I agree about salads on cold days though, we don't eat them then either. :)
DeleteHave fun out there you guys. Lots of room to spread out for sure. Too bad about Pilot Knob increase, but you get the views without the prices. .....and no pool of course :-(
ReplyDeleteHey Dave! Thank you! It is sad about the increase and I do miss the pool and the games we played with our friends in there.
DeleteWe have two sets of relatives that winter in Arizona and they just love it. One set has a rather large home down there and the other has a mobile home in a park. Perhaps one day we will have to make a point of traveling down for a visit. We have another set that lives in Florida for the winter.....
ReplyDeleteSnowing, windy and cold here on the Canadian Prairies.
God bless.
You definitely need to visit family here in AZ when you can. At least once! ;) Sorry about the weather but it helps to justify why we are here.
