Happy and Happy Hour

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Jan. 28^th Gibbs and I started our day with our usual walk. It was sped up a bit because it was still a very chilly morning – despite the clear sunny sky. 😊 Again, 37F/2.7C is mild to folks back home, but to us, it’s a little unusual in January and not what we’re used to here. Instead of my walk, I’m coming up with a lot of reasons why not to go, I had my shower after my tea and then, my hair was wet so I went to the puzzle instead.

Another great day on the horizon

Our afternoon was scheduled so this would be my only time to work on it today. Bill left for the flying field after 8 and it was looking to be a gorgeous calm day. Yay! ♥ I was the only person at the puzzle and finished sections that Robert had started and made huge progress until I left at 11:45. Bill wasn’t back yet so it meant he was having a good morning. All good things. Bill was happy doing his thing and I was happy doing mine.

For lunch, I had a plate with more good things, meat, cheese, cottage cheese, avocado, celery and an apple. It was filling and to top it off, we had a glass of tomato juice with our meal. 😊 I gave Gibbs the last 3^rd of his Yak cheese stick to chew on but he was more interested in burying it than eating it right now. He and I went outside while Bill showered and sure enough, in the tent, Gibbs buried it quite well in the gravel. I love watching this process.

We packed a cooler bag with a couple of drinks, loaded our chairs and drove in to the tent for one last visit. The Big Tent closes tomorrow and that is when things start to thin out about. We’ve already noticed a lot of checkouts at the park. We had a hard time finding a parking spot near the tent so ended up in what at home we call the ‘back 40’. That’s okay, we just entered from the opposite end. I was intent on one thing only and that was to get more Yak Cheese bones for our little boy. 😊

We headed out around 2 and found Deb and Tom at Roadrunner BLM for a mid afternoon happy hour. It was so great to see them again, as usual. They are 2 of our regular full-timers and we are glad to get in a few meetups each winter while we are all down here doing what we love. It was no surprise to us when Dave and Cheryl drove up shortly after, as I had invited them this morning to join us. They’ve met D & T before so it was a nice reunion for all of us.

Happy people at Happy Hour

Three hours on this beautiful afternoon, after lots of chatter and laughter (plus our pictures) we left for home. It was time to start supper so Bill looked after fries and I looked after the fish. We were finished eating and cleanup by 6:45, we don’t spend a lot of time at the dinner table like some people do. 😊

Supper
Good night!

This was a fun day, puzzling, time with Gibbs and with my sweetie and our other rv friends. We’ll see them all again soon. It won’t likely last but we reached a warm high of 64F/18C today with little to no winds. ♥

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
