A Bright day, Gaining Confidence, Birthday Boy

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Feb. 27th Bill was happy that it was once again calm and he was able to head to the field for more flying. We were all up at 7 and discovered that there will be confidence building required for Gibbs to go out with Daddy. He had to go out this morning but was appearing fearful of the leashes. Bill had to carry him out and then it was a stop-go-stop-go walk for most of their walk.

This is a morning picture

We need to work on it so he can get past that fear. It was lazy for me and Gibbs while sitting together after Bill left. I was washed and ready to go over to the clubhouse so just relaxed until 9:10. I played on my online games and read a chapter or two. Today, Adele and Susan were absent, as expected, but Dora, Barb, Patti and I had a great time. We were very evenly matched in our final score. 😊

This was a pretty picture
No help on this one

For lunch, I made bacon and eggs and that was tasty and filling. When Bill closed his book to have a snooze, I walked back to work on the puzzle. After a couple of hours, it was done, and I hadn’t over-strained myself. Ha ha. It’s a glorious day with a clear blue sky and although the wind did pick up this afternoon, we were very grateful for the sun’s warmth.

Gibbs found 'stuffie' on our walk
so spent the rest of the evening making sure he was
safely tucked away - many times

He thinks we can't see it
Sssh, don't spoil it

Bill finished a J.A. Jance book called Cruel Intent and I’m still working on Long Shadows. I guess I have too many hobbies on the go! 😊 Is there such a thing? No planning was required for supper as Bill suggested bacon cheeseburgers first thing. That left it simple and so when I returned, I took Gibbs for a walk. No hesitation with the leash or the steps. Funny guy. 

Here he is, all in one piece
but with a broken arm

He did find a small stuffed toy on his walk so after his business was done, turned and hi-tailed it home to bury it.


Supper was delicious, I had to comment on how thick our burger patties are compared to the ones we eat at a fast food place. We were cleaned up from the meal before 7 and watched the Finale of AGT All Stars. It’s hard to pick a favourite so we’ll just wait and see who walks off with the title. 😊 We had programs recording and a few from last night to watch later. 

A good burger again
We had some Yogourt cake for dessert

Today, is my 3rd biological grandson's birthday. He's now a teenager! Happy 13th Birthday, Nathan! We reached 64F/18C and this was a good day!

Happy Birthday Nathan
Patrick's little big man 💖

Who's the teenager? 😁
Good night!

Thank you for the visit.

  1. Rose's flowers are beautiful.
    Good that you had some nice weather. This winter here in Ontario is just so different than normal winters. Normal is better!

  2. Hopefully Gibbs gets over that quickly. It must have been a good shock for it to bother him so much. Maybe scared him more than anything. Nice toy he found ... lucky dog!!

  3. Happy Birthday to Nathan! Thirteen is a wonderful age.
    I'm guessing Gibbs blames Bill for the shock and is showing his hesitancy - hopefully he'll get over it soon. Poor boy, it must have been a nasty shock.
    Enjoy your day.

    1. 13 today is much different than 13 in our day. Still an exciting time.
      Gibbs is slowly gaining trust again in walking with Bill.
