A Day at a Time, We Relaxed Today, News

Quail Ridge RV Park

On Wednesday, Apr. 5th there was something in the air. Bill and I called it ‘HOPE’. We were up by 7 and with no plans to go anywhere today, we dedicated it to a peaceful day together as a family. Even our hopeful prayers were silent. 😊 Gibbs and I walked and even though it was bitterly cold, 30F/-1C, the winds had dropped considerably from the last two days. That made it a nice walk around this west end of the park.

Good morning!
Our hopes are high today!

We had our tea, cereal and delved into our books. Our neighbours, Don and Diane, were packing up for their route home to New Hampshire. They were in no rush so we wished them well and visa versa. Their wishes to us had a lot of ‘Good luck!’ thrown in. I walked up to the clubhouse to drop off two of our James Patterson books and came home with 2 J. A. Jance books and 1 book for me. The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs sounds fun.

We've had some truly beautiful skies
this week


We waited until after 1 before trying to get in touch with Ford and did hear back just before 2:30 that the truck went in the shop last night before closing. Deb and Riley had gone into town and also reported that it was not in the lot anymore. 😊 All good news. Around 3:30 as we were readying to go to Happy Hour, an outside one today because it’s a lovely afternoon, Bill got the call that our truck would be ready either late Thursday or early Friday morning. Yay!

And one with me
Bittersweet to say goodbye

That’s all we wanted, to have it done this week at a reasonable cost, so we could continue our travels in appropriate time. All we can do is to continue our prayers, hopes and wishes. Earlier, I had mapped out what Bill thinks will be our route with the changes. It helps me to have a better idea as I'm terrible at that stuff. Happy Hour was nice, sitting at the front of the Stinger B in the sun. Layers were removed the warmer I got sitting there. We hugged Riley and Deb goodbye around 5:30 as they head out early tomorrow and returned home to Gibbs.

I took him for his afternoon walk and then fried us up some yummy cheeseburgers. No bacon tonight. It was messy doing them on the stove but we didn’t get Weber out when we arrived, not expecting to stay this long. They were delicious. 

These were delicious!

Bill cleaned up the pan and the spattered stove and I sat for my blog. The Pink Moon was beautiful but I was too lazy to walk over to that side of the park to get a better picture.

It was huge!


A great day with some good news. Bill also had some good news of his own when he heard that his last parcel, his plane from North Carolina, has been shipped. Another Yay! 😊

Then it quickly disappeared behind the clouds
Good night!

Thank you for visiting.

  3. Good to hear about the truck. Not sure of the cost but I had a similar experience though it was a bad load of diesel fuel. My dealer suggested I call the insurance company. If you have comprehensive it might be covered. Mine was they paid all but $100 of a $16K bill.

    1. Your comment was more supportive than you know. Thank you so much. Glad it worked out for you too. There is such a thing as 'accidental fuel contamination' in the insurance policy which we'd never heard about and that was a relief to learn in case we had to go that way.
