Home, Parker, Home Again

Park Place RV Park

Friday, Jan. 13^th, (huh, didn’t realize it was Friday the 13^th until Bill pointed it out at supper time), our day followed the normal route. The sky was pink to the north when I looked out my little window and I recited Daddy’s phrase. “red sky at night………” and was glad I wasn’t a sailor. 😉 Gibbs and I walked our 12 minutes and then I headed up and around the big block. I didn’t meet Bill, so he’d already be at the field. It was a calm, coolish (41F/5C) morning and it was a lovely walk

This was taken last night
Gibbs always falls asleep on me in my chair before bed
I hated to disturb him but I was also falling asleep and wanted
to go up to bed. 💗

More clouds than sun today but we did utilize our solar power all day. I sorted and took the 2 loads of clothes over to the clubhouse laundromat around 8:45. No one would be over there that early and they weren’t. 

The pink sky was gone but
this was just as rewarding to me

I worked on some ‘homework’ that I have left unattended to since we returned home in the spring. Usually, I go through my ledger book (for want of a better word) that details every .5¢ we spend each winter.

It isn't neat but it works
as long as I remember to record each
receipt/purchase 😀

I worked away at that, tallying up each category and will eventually follow up by typing it into a Word document. It’s always interesting to see the differences. I worked on the puzzle and my Wordle games in between doing the appropriate laundry chores. I was done and had my clothes put away by the time Bill returned home at 10:40. 😊 That’s it for another week.

A drive to Parker,Az - mostly flat
Such different views from a drive to Blythe, Ca - mostly mountainous

We had an early lunch and then drove to Parker for a few groceries, stocking up until payday. The Walmart had everything on our food list, so before we headed home, we made a stop at Ace Hardware and then made our way back to camp. With the food put away, I went over to the puzzle and worked with Adele, Robert and Susan. This is a crazy one but it is fun, finding the odd things happening in the picture. It’s called Camping World and there are some very funny goings-on.

I like the old, refurbished caboose in Parker
I also am reminded of my little sister, Wendy when I see it
She worked in the Railroad Museum many years

Back home at 4, Bill and I read until supper time. We had air fried chicken thighs, a potato between us, corn and asparagus. It was a good supper. We ate it in two stages though. The chicken was so thick in the middle, so we ate our veggies while I popped the thighs back in for another 8 minutes. Then they were perfect 😊 We cleaned up and listened to the Jukebox Oldies while I worked on my post. Fire Country is recording an when I’m done, we’ll watch it together. No commercials.

remember our diesel price here? It is now $4.09/gal
this is in Parker, today

We reached a high of 68F/20C today which was pretty warm, even under cloudy skies. I’m sure it was another lovely sunset but probably no different than last nights so I stayed inside and readied our meal instead of photographing it. This was a quiet day but we are stocked up on food again for a bit and the clothes are clean. I hope your day was a good one.

Supper, before I cut into my chicken thigh and chose to cook it longer
They were just a bit too pink around the bone and we
are 'bone-picking' people! 
Good night!

Thank you for the visit!
