Park Place Rv Park
On Tuesday, Jan. 17th we were very pleased to see a clear blue sky when we woke and rose. Yay! It wasn’t warm, only 44F/6.6C but the sun was shining! Gibbs and I went for our walk, 15 minutes this time, and then I went off on my own. Bill wasn’t flying this morning so we invited Nancy along to go to town with us. It was 10:30 when we picked her up and we all walked through the vendors in Tyson Wells.
Shadows are a good thing! So are clear skies
Bill was
looking for h.d. stakes and ratchet straps for my/our gazebo, Nancy was looking
for a couple of things and I was as well. We found some things, not all that we
were seeking but we came home with something. I fell in love with a heavy
patchwork poncho last time we were in TW so when Bill mentioned Valentine’s Day
coming up, I didn’t balk when he offered today to buy it for me. ♥
Can you say 'Puddles?'
I had to make a few jumps and detours
when the water crossed the sidewalk
Back home around 12:30, we had lunch and then he and Gibbs had their snooze. I sat beside them and read my J.A. Jance book instead of going to the puzzle. It is the day to put the gazebo up.

It only takes 60 seconds ‘say the sellers’ but when it doesn’t come with paper instructions (for me to read) it was a bit bumbling from the get-go. However, within 5 minutes, it popped open and we had it standing. 😊

It's a
one-piece unit and is large and wonderful! Bill had the difficult task of staking
and it down. It’s not easy pounding the stakes in since the ground here is
almost as bad as our rocky ground on The Ridge. He succeeded and added the
straps, found at K & B, to secure it. I finished my book outside and was
very impressed with how this screen-sided ‘tent’ actually blocks the wind. Perfect!
Bill took a picture while I tested it out 😃
I love it!
Nancy brought us 4 delicious looking and smelling garlic biscuits to go along with our supper, which was fish and chips tonight. Everything tasted wonderful!
A yummy supper
Thanks for the biscuits, Nancy!
We watched 2
premiere episodes of the new Night Court and then the 2-hour series finale of
New Amsterdam. I’m sad to have that show end, it’s one of my favourites. This is
a great day! We reached a high of 59F/15C and with full sunny skies, that was awesome!
A few clouds moved in just in time
for a special sunsetAll around us, the clouds were gorgeous
good night!
Thanks for
stopping by.
The gazebo looks like nice. Windy here too and a brisk one at that.

ReplyDeleteYes we sure did!
DeleteThank you Shirley.
Neat gazebo! That looks really useful.
ReplyDeleteYears ago we had a "dining tent" that Dad bought for camping. It looked very similar to your gazebo. Not sure if there are mosquitos down there but that would sure help keep them away.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
You are going to enjoy your outdoor room. We bought one for "the camp property " to keep out mosquitoes and it worked great. Then here in Wellton we used it to house the Christmas tree and Christmas stuff. Worked great for that too.
