Park Place RV Park
On Tuesday, Jan. 30th, we woke to another morning of clear blue skies. We could never tire of this view, when we look across the land, all around us is sunshine. We were both feeling pretty top notch. It has been a week since I first felt the touches of a cold and I’m glad to be have it out of my system. I shouldn’t complain though, because it never really amounted to much at all. Bill experienced more stuffiness in his sinuses but all in all, we’ve been lucky. π
Good morning!
This is the sky we had all day long. π
Gibbs and
I went for our walk after Bill left for the flying field. We’ve had a few cloudy
days in January which meant more days that we weren’t relying on our solar to
keep our electric charges down. However, more recently, he has been able to
disconnect from the park post before he leaves so we can use our own system to
provide electricity. We do pay .20¢/kw here, billed monthly and we’ve never
paid more than $35. We feel that it is a pretty good deal!
I'll show you this pretty winter picture
although I had no hand in putting this puzzle together.
Sadly, one piece missing down in the corner.
I was in
the mood to start a puzzle so chose a panorama one of horses this time. It is
1000-pc and although a narrow 14”high, it is 38”long. I needed to spread it out
over 2 sheets of the 28” Bristol board. I worked away until noon in between a
bit of ‘tom-foolery’ at the clubhouse with a few of the ladies. We laughed, I
puzzled, Patti baked, Sheila sang and we all grooved as D played on the
keyboard. π We had fun!
This could prove to be a challenge for us.
Bill and
I had lunch at home and then I went back to the puzzle for a couple of hours.
My eyes were getting heavy so I came home, sat outside for a few minutes and
then came in for a bit of shut-eye. Our friends from the desert have invited us
to join them for supper at the Outback Pizza & Bar. Only Tom and Deb have
eaten there and the rest of us were keen on a new experience. We’ve heard good
things about their pizza.
Gibbs and I got our for our walk before we left for town. |
We met at
5:30 and although a different set up completely from Silly Al’s, we all enjoyed
their pizza offerings. You order, find a table around the corner at the bar
area and then pick it up when it is ready. We ordered a drink each and walked
out of there with no leftovers (☹) but after having spent less $. It was much quieter in the building and
we could actually hear each other talk from one end of the table to the other!
That’s a huge bonus!
This is mine. A small 'Buckle' pizza.
It was good, not quite as cheesy as I like it but it was gooood!Ain't he cute!? You decide if I mean
the box cactus or my Sweetie! ππ
It was 7
when we left for home after saying goodbye (for this trip) to Tom and Deb. We
won’t see them until the fall again. They were having their Happy Hour at
Roadrunner and we would have joined had they not planned the meal outing. It
did save us the trip! π Bill and I watched the latest
episode of NCIS:Sydney and then each found our own movie to watch. Mine was
called Role Play and quite action-packed although I still was tired enough to
drop off and miss about 10 minutes in the middle. LOL
In a way, it was a 'last' supper together.

This was
a great day and the weather reached a balmy 77F/25C. Just as we get our hopes
up for it to stay though, the forecast is going to be changing again. Oh well,
we take each day as it comes.
Bill, Tom, Deb
Safe travels you two!
Good night!
Thank you
for your visit!
Power in Arizona is expensive! But like you we use our solar panels, and even though we do have a fridge in the shed, we have never paid more than $35.00 ... and that was with all my Christmas lights going :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think that is too bad, of course if we've done all we can to save, i don't fret over a few cents.
DeleteHi Patsy, did you know today is national puzzle day? Long time blog reader of your adventures. Dee
ReplyDeleteWell, good thing I'm working on one!! Thanks Dee!
DeleteDon't you just hate when one puzzle piece is missing? What a lovely new puzzle to work on. Hopefully this post goes through this time. I seem to be getting a "failure to post notification" quite often.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It posted, yes! I do hate when a piece is missing.
DeleteRiley and I enjoyed the Outback when we visited last year! Glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteDeb
Thanks Deb. It is certainly a better place for visiting too!!
DeleteNice to find an alternate Pizza shop.
ReplyDeleteBill is feeling the stuffiness from the dry air. He should try a Nasal Spray to clear the problem.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Bill had a head cold, like me. Just experienced it differently. π
DeleteI really like tje horse puzzle. Have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteThe pizza definitely looks homemade. Sounds like a fun evening with friends.
Maybe a Silly Al's pizza to go would fit the bill. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour pizza looks yummy! I chuckled when you said you watched "Role Play" last night. That's the movie we watched as well. Loved it!
