Damp Sunday, Laundry, Parker and Laughin’ Out Loud

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Jan. 21st we had another full day. When we got up around 6:30, we sorted laundry. It was a bit wet from the intermittent overnight rain but we walked over to the laundromat in the dark between the drops. 😊 There would be no flying for Bill this morning so when the clothes were dry, before 8, he walked back and helped fold. Nice to be done with that chore by 8:30.

So, last night Gibbs sat with me instead of upstairs
with his Daddy.
In these 3 different shots, you can see that he is very
interested in the movie too. ♥

This morning, Bill was home to help
me do the laundry.
That sky isn't fit for flying. 

A couple of days ago we’d mentioned to Nancy that we were going to Walmart in Parker to get our groceries today so she was game to come along. It wasn’t even 9 when we left the park. Good time to go as the store wasn’t too busy. We had a cart full and Nancy just a few bags when we left. The rain hadn’t done much since we got up this morning but the sky was cloud-filled, threatening a shower at any given time.

This afternoon we reconnected with friends we met
in Feb 2017.

I was hungry when we got home and unloaded so we had ham salad sandwiches. The best part of my morning was discovering that Walmart now carries my seeded Keto bread!! I am so tickled that I don’t have to make it last like I’ve been doing. 😊 After lunch, Bill and Gibbs had a bit of a doze and I walked over to the clubhouse to swap out the 2 decks of cards we use in Poker Pool. They are pretty old and tend to stick to each other.

This is today's fun Happy Hour(s)
3 pictures so I made sure everyone got in the shot.

We'll see you all next year!

I communicated back and forth with Pat, our ‘Silent Valley’ friend and left the house around 1:30 to find them at the Q View RV Park. What a reunion! We haven’t laughed like that in a long time. We had 7 years to catch up and if that doesn’t make us realize how time flies, nothing will. It was a great Happy 2 ½ hours before we hugged and said our goodbyes for this year. Now we know they come every year, we will be sure to keep in touch.

Pat and Jeff
you can just tell that they are a couple of
great guys from this picture.
So great to see them again!

Mindy made these yummy
Christmas treats and
we helped her eat some of them up.

The dampness in the air remains and we are expecting another day of this kind of weather. Strangest winter yet, we think. We agreed on a simple supper. Now that we have lots of bread and cheese, it’s grilled cheese for us tonight! Because it felt chilly, I had a cup of tea and Bill had a hot chocolate. 

Top pix: Gibbs dropped Stuffy and 
growled at him to get back up.
Bottom: our little ham with Nancy

Nancy popped over to chat before supper and then Gibbs and I went for our walk. He surprised me when he carried the little green ball that Nancy gave him the whole way. 😊

He may have carried that ball for our walk
but back home, it was time to chew it to pieces. LOL

Supper was good and we watched some tv after everything was cleaned up for the night. Bill and I watched a couple of episodes of Reacher and have one more to catch us up-to-date. This was not a very warm day, high of 60F/14C, but we had a lot of fun regardless. Meeting up with friends whom we never thought we’d bump into again was such a treat!

That sky looked confused all day.

Tonight's supper was quick and filling.
Good night!

Thank you for popping in. Your comments are always welcome.

  1. . It was a mixed bag of weather here today as well but the temperature was around 70. And tomorrow is to be much the same also. Say hi to Nancy and sure hope we can meet up with Nancy as well yet this season. Enjoy the fact we have no snow and have a beautiful season

  2. I knew that ball wouldn't last more than a few minutes. I'm surprised it took him THAT long!!! He's such a ham! It was karma that we met those guys at the tent, and no one realized you knew each other until they left. Glad you caught up with them. Get your galoshes out today!

    1. I was surprised he carried it around and hoped it wouldn't get chewed up. Oh well, you expected your gift to disappear quickly! haha
      Karma indeed, what a fun time, you should have joined us!

  3. It is much warmer today, but we are getting snow. Not a lot, but enough to make everything look nice and clean again.
    Gibbs can sure chew things up quickly.

    God bless.

    1. Good to hear about your warming temps. Snow does make things look clean. I used to love to be the first one to walk in a new snowfall.

  4. Wow, that Gibbs takes his toys seriously! Your happy hour looks a wee bit chilly, but I can imagine it was a wonderful time to catch up. Seven years is a long time for sure.
