Another Week Ends and That's Not All

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Dec. 30th we aren’t only approaching the week’s end but also the month and unbelievably the year’s end! Not only has every day, week and month been flying by but now I wonder where did 2022 go? So, we were up before 8 this morning and although it was looking damp outside, it wasn’t from overnight rain. The air smelled differently, not like rain.

It was a warm morning
Gibbs and I noticed that the fruit trees
have been trimmed back for another
good harvest next year!

Gibbs and I went for our walk and the 53F/12C felt quite warm. He was in the mood to walk and sniff so I led him lead. 😊 Dropping him at home, I headed out for a walk in a different direction and bypassed 7200 steps by the end of the day. I need to do that more often to keep up some activity. Bill was gone to the field when I returned so I had some yogourt and my tea and played my Wordle games.

I chose Mockingbird Street for my walk
and I'm so glad I did

This is a lovely home

These metal sculptures along 
the street remind me of Borrego Springs, CA

All metal, every part

After my shower, it was around 10:30 when I went over to the clubhouse until noon hour. Susan and I worked on the puzzle, in between her duties as host, and we are making great strides.

After some lunch back home, I returned around 1:30 to the puzzle. With her working on the barn and sky, I worked on the lower half of the picture. This is a really nice picture and we’ll be done tomorrow; I would imagine.


This is what we need on the Ridge for the Suite 😃

These sculptures were a treat

Adele, Robert and Susan’s husband came in around 3:30 to play Poker Pool, asking permission to use my cards. They invited me to play but I was leaving at 4 so declined. They sure enjoy the game and that makes me happy. 😉 

a healthy lunch today

Today's progress, with Susan's help

I poured myself a gin and tonic instead of a tea and read until it was time to start supper. We had leftover hamburger helper and a salad. We were quite stuffed when we finished.

The sky cleared after an afternoon of clouds
See the jet stream and the moon?

After cleaning up the dishes, I wrote today’s post and sat to finish my book. Bill had a movie in that I semi-watched. Oh, last night, upstairs, I watched the dvd Up in the Air with George Clooney. It was fun to watch, as always, and when it was done around 10, I was ready to crawl under the covers. This was a great day.

Supper
Good night!

Thank you for checking my blog out today.

    1. Thank you so much, A James! Happy New Year to you as well. Bill will have to catch up on the article but I don't think Black Beauty is going to be traded out anytime soon. :)

    1. Happy New Year! No party at the park. It will be a quiet evening at home for both my sweets and I.
