Strong Warm Winds and I’m Grateful

Pilot Knob LTVA

On Tuesday, Nov 8^th we slept in even longer! There is something to be said about just lazing in bed until we all feel like getting up together. No distractions expected from anyone else since we are alone here, so to speak. Bill had his shower first and then made a coffee. I had my cup of tea on the go by the time he finished and I went up for mine.

Driving around Pilot Knob Resort was an
eye-opener
It was pretty M T

It was a warm 57F/14C and I took Gibbs for a quick, short walk around the nearby area. After mentioning how well he was eating, he is pulling a fast one and has stopped again. Once a day seems to be enough. We’re not concerned any more, knowing that at the strangest time, he’ll go and empty his bowl of kibble. 😊

I took a picture of this Landmark
because it reminded me of Donna and Gerry's back home
....in the cold. 

We hopped in Black Beauty, all of us, around 9:15 and drove the short jaunt to Pilot Knob RV Resort. Bill and I were curious to see if anyone we knew were still camping there. The place is like a park that forgot to advertise, with very few rv’s in place. Again, it is early and it will likely get much busier by Christmas. Maybe.

We drove through and managed to chat with a couple of friends who have returned. It was nice in particular to see Allie and Gabby, we always met up when Gibbs and I walked. ♥ Things are really getting an upgrade but why the renos weren’t done over the summer is beyond us. Anyway, losing interest quickly in the place, we returned to our ‘free’ spot behind the park. Free this time at least.

another beautiful day 

We had lunch of bacon and poached eggs on campfire toast and cleaned up the dishes right away by hand. I could have used the toaster but on solar, it seems to take longer and I was in a hurry. The eggs were done. 😊 In case you’re wondering, campfire toast for me is cooking it over the burner’s flame. I like the taste, it reminds me of my youth camping.

Lunch

Bill needed a pedicure so I stepped into the role and we went outside to take care of his feet. I know he appreciates that and I don’t mind at all. With the winds, the strong winds, I was very comfortable outside on my lounge chair with my book for quite a while. The flies were still non-existent. Yay! It was very pleasant. I was inside about 3 o’clock and I poured myself a beer margarita. Yum.

I love this picture
It shows you how windy it is and how much
Gibbs loves facing the wind

Otherwise it was just sniffing
new smells

Just before the supper hour, I finished my book. Bill was getting back into his J.A. Jance book this afternoon too. We had hamburger, onions, celery, peas and gravy over mashed potatoes for supper. There was a bit of Caesar salad so we shared that to finish it up and it all tasted pretty good. With the winds, we didn’t want to have to count on the barbecue tonight.

I enjoyed the outdoors so much today
that I moved from here to my lounger

After dishes, I worked on my blog with a movie playing in the background. Nothing important on tv tonight that we like to watch. We’ve been utilizing our generator after 6 o’clock since we didn’t tilt the panels when we arrived. Without a good ladder to get up there, (neither of us put a lot of faith in the one on the back), we decided not to bother.

Supper and ice cream with a banana for dessert
Good night!

This was a quiet day and I enjoyed reuniting with Allie over at the park. It was nice to hear that she was thinking of me and (her words) Leroy Jethro Gibbs. ♥ Allie is a huge NCIS fan too. There was no spectacular sunset tonight. It was cloudy and the sand blowing across the dunes covered what might have been. We reached 81F/27C today with wind gusts to 27 mph. It would be a warm evening, only dropping to 61F/16C overnight. The winds wouldn't be dying down until midnight. 

Thank you for the visit!
