Hot and It Took a Week!!

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Mar. 10^th our day started with sorting laundry. We were walking over to the clubhouse shortly after 7. Not bad, considering I didn’t get out of bed until 6:55! 😊 First ones in and first ones out – unless someone had been there before 6. There was a chill in the air this morning but by the time our clothes were folded and dried, it was already no-jacket weather.

Good morning!

I hope they pop before we leave here

Bill went to the flying field, Gibbs and I walked in between load swaps and then I began making grapefruit juice. Sheila and Randy are keeping us stocked up on the pink variety, us and anyone in the park who likes it, so I wanted to help take it off their hands. What do you do with the tangy fruit other than make juice? So, in my blender, that’s what I did. Now, I can drink it at my leisure and perhaps add a bit of vodka for a hot afternoon drink.

4 went into the juice

It tastes pretty good with a bit of Splenda added

I walked over to see what I could do on the ‘puzzle that wouldn’t finish’ and totally surprised myself with my dedication. I found a rhythm and had it done by 12:10. I’d texted Bill saying ‘go ahead and eat, I’m so close!’ 😊 

Tadah!
It's a lovely picture so worth the struggle

We had our sandwiches for lunch and then just enjoyed the afternoon together. He had some things to do on his Piper Cub and I had some pages/chapters in my book to read.

Gibbs sat with him

The sun was gorgeous and I moved my chair around our site, following it.

I settled much easier than this

He moved a few times.

To here......

and back with me

I ended up in the gazebo with my tea by late afternoon. The book is good and I may get it finished tonight as well. The puzzle took too long, a whole week! Maybe the next one will be quicker. Gibbs and I went for our afternoon walk and, oh by the way, our morning walk surprised our little bum when he saw Gerald was home again! He was so happy! ♥ So, our afternoon walk got him even more pets from his buddy, who was sitting out with Rick and Buddy.

Gibbs likes being outside with us
BUT....
if one of us comes indoors for something,
he waits and watches. 💕

After a chat with Rick, I returned home for a bit more reading. Sheila stopped by on her daily walk and we caught up before starting supper. Tonight was a large boneless skinless chicken breast that I cut into 4 pieces and cooked in Rosy, the air fryer. They were thick but took only 20 minutes. Bill ate the reheated bit of ghoulash that was leftover and I had cooked some Swiss chard that one of the ladies here shared. It tastes and looks different than our chard back home, more like spinach, but it was very much enjoyed. 😊

The chicken was good and lots of it

After cleanup, Bill watched a movie upstairs with Gibbs while I wrote today’s post. It has been a good day. Laundry is done, the puzzle is finally finished and it is the end of a week. Most of our friends and family across parts of Canada and the US have experienced a time change; springing ahead. That means we are now 3 hours behind home time in Ontario and we won’t catch up for a few weeks.

I forgot to watch for the sunset tonight.
this was on our walk.
We reached a high today of 78F/26C
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!
