A Full, Fun-tastic Day!

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Nov. 9^th our day was full right from the get-go. We were all up by 6:30, Gibbs let us sleep in until 6:20, which was very nice of him. 😊 I made my tea and sat to play my Wordle games. My brain hasn’t been working great on these things lately, so I need to dig in as soon as I can in order to get them finished. Bill left for the field and the pooch and I went for our walk.

A lovely morning again,
blue sky and sunshine
One could get tired of this.............nah, NEVER!

It was a mild morning, clear sky and around 52F/11C. The fact that there was no wind to speak of, made it a nice temperature for walking – or flying – or doing whatever outside. Around 9:15, I walked over to the clubhouse for Ladies’ Poker Pool. There were 7 of us again, no Dora but instead Cyndee joined us. She’s quite the chatterer, something to get used to, but we welcome any newcomers who’d like to partake.

Let the games begin!

The good news for me is that instead of coming in dead last, I finished in 2^nd place. It’s hard to beat Susan, we affectionately call her our Pool Shark, and I doubt I will, so coming in 3 points behind her gave me a boost. 😊 The luck for me (it isn’t much skill) is getting the right cards but boy, do we have fun! It is such an enjoyable morning with these ladies.

Back home around noon, Bill was back home too. We had lunch, toasted tomato sandwiches (mine on keto bread) today. Because we were having company later, I stayed home and painted a couple of rocks before packing things up. With the wind this afternoon, which had picked up a fair bit, we situated our chairs in the gazebo for our company.

Not to be outdone, Black Beauty on far right

poor Deb K, she is under there somewhere.
Gibbs is happy though

Tom, Deb, Deb and Riley arrived first. One bright lemon-coloured Jeep pulled in behind Black Beauty. Within just a few minutes, another bright monogrammed bumble-bee coloured Jeep pulled in beside the first. Lorne and Sue have arrived. Gibbs went crazy, naturally, trying to greet everyone – many times – almost pestering. ☹ Riley didn’t mind his affections but he just couldn’t seem to settle down.

After a couple of hours, maybe less, Bill put him inside with a treat. This was a fun Happy Hour with dear friends whom we have met over the past 7 years. ♥ There is nothing like it and a lot of stories were told and a lot of reminiscing happened in those 3 hours. It was a joy to have them all here. 😊 They left around 6 .

These two made me laugh

Or maybe they are taking a selfie of themselves!

Neither Bill or I felt like barbecuing burgers in the dark so we agreed on tomato soup and cheese bread for supper. Temperatures were also dropping quickly so we were happy to get indoors for the evening. Such is life in the desert! Hot/warm days and cool nights. Great for sleeping, as Sue says. I wrote a quick blog and relaxed for the remainder of the night. 

As we gathered in the chilly night air,
to say goodbye
This is all I captured of the after-sunset.

It has been a very full, very fun day.

A simple but quick supper.
Works for us!
Good night!

Thank you for popping in.
