Day Trip! Visiting a Dear Friend

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Dec. 20^th every Canadian is happy. Yes, government pension time. 😊 It isn’t all about the money, no, but it sure helps us pay the bills and enables us to do what we want to do – this lifestyle, for one. We decided yesterday that we would try and get out of here at a decent hour this morning and head to Lake Havasu City for some shopping and some visiting.

I forgot to do this yesterday.

This morning in our park

We communicated with our friend, Keith, who is diligently making his way down here to Arizona. Yay! We’re so happy that he chose to come back again and sooner than we first expected. 😊 Gibbs and I went for a walk after Bill got the pensions moved around with some $$ transferred down here to our American account. It was again in a different direction but I followed his lead.

Around 10, we all hopped in the truck, Gibbs adorned in his thunder jacket in the hopes it would help to calm him. Well, it didn’t work perfectly but I think it helped somewhat. This is a beautiful drive, through Parker and those mountains with golf courses on both sides. We like Lake Havasu but don’t have a need to stay here anymore. We spruced Black Beauty up with a wash, not the best ‘diy’ one but she looks much improved.

Then a stop at Hobby Lobby, Bill went in and got what he needed and I stayed with Gibbs. My turn was down to the .99¢ Store for a few things of my own. It was around 12:30 and we were hungry enough to stop at the In ‘n Out Burger for a take out order. We had Combo #2, cheeseburger, fries and root beer and ate in the truck with our little guy. He got one of his own treats. 😊

Although the tongue is out,he's laying down.

We drove back to Rose and George’s on Palo Verde Drive to find only Rose home. George and Gigi were out at an appointment and some shopping but we had a nice visit. Gibbs took to Rose like a bee to a rose, my goodness, he just loved sitting, laying, sleeping on her lap! ♥ Of course, she didn’t mind the little love bug’s cuddles at all. Around 2:30, we said our goodbyes and wished her well on a trip she has planned tomorrow.

Can you see Gibbs in the top photo?

We made a stop at the Walmart in Parker where Bill stayed in the truck with Gibbs and I filled the cart with the food items on my list. It seemed like I was in there forever but I’m not sure. I think it was close to 4:30 when we returned home. We won’t need supper tonight other than something minimal. Maybe a snack, we’ll see.

A couple of beauties right here.

This was a good day and after we settled, we watched the last episode of The Voice finale. Bill dozed and I wrote my blog post while the hour of recaps was on. We hate when they do that! I hope you’ve had a great day.

Between here, Quartzsite, and there, Lake Havasu City, temperatures reached 77 & 81F/25 & 27C and even though it isn’t going to last, we are still happy campers. 😊

The drive home

Gibbs was pretty good throughout the day, a perfect little gentleman on the ride home, of course.

Every once in a while, he'd check
out who was behind us.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!
