Less Than Two Weeks, Home Chat, ‘Friendly’ Happy Hour

Park Place RV Park

Sunday, Mar. 19th brings on the short side of 2 weeks before we leave the park. With only 13 more nights here, we are seeing more and more of our friends heading off for home. The morning was pretty quiet, Bill noticed that it was too windy so didn’t go to the field at all. No one would have been there.

We weren't expecting much from the sky today
At least not in the way of sunshine
We were wrong as it turned into a lovely day

After Gibbs and I went for our walk, I packed up my rocks just in case we got the winds they were calling for. Then, I went to work on the puzzle. Susan joined me around 11:30 and we made a bit of progress. The good news is that while I was there, I saw Patti and Rick return home. He’s walking with a cane but the word is that things went well. So far. 😊 We’re very happy to have them both back.

I called my son, Patrick, for a catch up chat this morning and he sounds good. It was nice to hear his voice. For lunch, I made us westerns on toasted buns and they were quite tasty. We haven’t had them for a while. 

Toasted Westerns - yum

Then, it was more puzzle for about an hour and a half before I returned to the Suite. Bill and I made ourselves a drink and went out to the gazebo with Gibbs.

Dave and Cheryl arrived at 2:30 and we continued learning about each other and sharing stories as if we never parted.

We waited in the gazebo for our company

The winds were next to nothing and when the sun appeared, it was very hot in there. Hot means ‘perfect’ in layman’s terms to me. It was a great Happy Hour with our friends and this will be our last one with them this winter/spring.

Bill obliged with the photo shoot

We wished them safe driving on their journey home when they pull out of their blm site. For supper, we had fish and chips but I swapped out my fries for squash. Some of you are screwing up your noses, I’m sure.

Supper was good

After clearing up the dishes, we all walked over to Kobus and Carol Ann’s to say goodbye. They leave for home tomorrow – slowly. They weren’t home but I left a painted rock on their step and around 7:30, they stopped by for that farewell. Gibbs was so excited to see them both and made a fool of himself just being silly. They love the little guy and Carol Ann will miss him.

We watched American Idol together and then Farmer Takes a Wife. It was still early so Magnum PI was also recording for us to watch. Turns out that Sunday’s are a busy tv night. 😊 This was a great day and it warmed up quite nicely to 72F/22C with a 35% chance of rain overnight.

Good night from the Q!

Thank you for visit too!

  2. Your gazebo is really nice. An extra room and Gibbs doesn't need to be on a leash. A good idea!

    1. Thank you. We do keep Gibbs onhis leash in there, he too easily can slip out under the zippered door!
