A Quiet Shopping Day, A Swim!

Pilot Knob RV Resort

On Tuesday, Oct. 29^th there was no push to get up at any time. As Bill told Gibbs last night and first thing this morning, ‘we don’t have to drive anywhere today’. Well, not entirely true. Bill and I were going into Yuma to buy a new tire, to pick up some groceries and do some personal ‘fun’ shopping. Gibbs was staying home to look after the Suite. 😊

Good morning!
The park is pretty empty but it is 
not November yet.

A couple of our stops today

We dropped the blown tire and rim off at Ed Whitehead’s Tire Pros and then went to the Yuma Palms Mall. One stop at Target to w/d cash from the Allpoints atm and then Bill dropped me off at Ross & Marshall’s. From there, he drove to Harbor Freight. We were both happy and had decided to leave Hobby Lobby for another visit. I found a couple of things at Marshall’s and some Christmas goodies for Gibbs at Ross. Sssh!

I like the change rooms at Marshall's
These hooks help you place things after you
try them on. 😃

When Bill picked me up, we went to get fuel at an Arco ($3.19/gal) and then to Fry’s for some food items. I feel that we did quite well and for less than $150 we walked out with a lot of groceries. Burgers, sausage, fish, chicken and a huge pork butt all that will keep us in protein for 40+ meals.  😊  No complaints here! The last thing we did was stop back to pick up the new tire and returned to the park.

I wasn't in the water long but I got wet a couple of times
before sitting in the hot tub and on my recliner.

All this for $18 was the whole pork butt.
That's a lot of meals.
PS - we like the fat.

It was a nice day, not too hot, mid 70’s/20’s but still some wind out here that we didn’t notice in town. When we got home, it was around 1 so we had toasted tomato sandwiches. The boys dozed, I changed into my bathing suit and when Bill assured me he didn’t need my help, I went across the lane to the pool and he went out to replace the tire.                          

Gibbs and I caught the sun before it
dropped below the horizon.
Oh yes, Gibbs had to water the Oleander.

I took a new book, my phone, towel and hat and found my comfy chair where I could still see our Suite. I stayed for a couple of hours and when Bill was done working, I returned home to separate the meat into meal sizes for the freezer. It’s really full now! Rosy air fried a chicken breast to share, I boiled some potatoes and mixed up a store-bought Caesar salad. Supper was quite good. Bill found a cherry pie at Fry’s so we had a piece for dessert. ♥

A cute moment at home.
Gibbs wiggles his way in wherever
he can to get a tummy rub from Daddy.

After cleanup, I tried to write my blog while we caught up on NCIS and NCIS:Origins episodes. We are enjoying the new season. 😊 Then we watched Elspeth's latest ones. We’ve had a good day and we’re off to Los Algodones in the morning.

Supper was good.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.
