Pilot Knob RV Resort
On Thursday, Oct. 31st we slept in until 6:30 and 7. You know who was up first, the early birds. I woke up a few times from dreams but can only remember fragments of who and what they contained. 😊 Typical. It was a cooler morning but not cold. We didn’t have to be at our dental appointments until 12 noon so relaxed for the morning.
Good morning! 
Gibbs and I went for our walk
around the park before we left.
It gave
me the opportunity to vacuum the floors and do a bit of high dusting – of
course, using my Norwex duster. We had our morning drinks and Bill had his
cereal. I waited until around 10 and had a banana and yogourt cup. They aren’t
exactly yogourt, but they are keto approved. Ha ha, and they fill in the gap
when I’m hungry for something. I’m hoping Parker’s Walmart is still carrying my
Keto Yogourt so I can stock up.
There isn't a lot of fat grams but it
still tastes pretty good.
At 11:15,
we left Gibbs in charge again and drove back to Los Algodones. A bit of banter
on our way to Dr. Eva’s and we weren’t waiting long and we were both called in.
I’d decided to get the left upper quadrant deep cleaned today, all periodontal
work that is necessary but I haven’t had done since we lived in London. If that
is shocking, I shrug at that, oh well. Our regular dentists used to do deep
cleanings every 6 months but these in Mexico, do not until requested.
Not sure what this plant is,
my Google lens didn't detail it in English. 
It is pretty though, isn't it?
Bill was
in the other room getting his crown put on and we met back in the wait room,
paid for my cleaning and we left. It was cute seeing Miriam, her mom, Dr. Eva
and her 3 assistants all either wearing Hallowe’en scrubs and/or earrings or
both. 😊 I wore my bat earrings and my ball
cap with braids in honor of the day. Not like days gone by, when I used to
dress up every year at work and every trick or treat evening. I used to love it
but now we’re on the road and I don’t.
This was shortly after we joined the line
to cross the border back into the US
The fact that it didn't move in the usual
spurts had us concerned.
We were
out of the dentists by 12:45 and joined the line at the border. It was already
long, yet the same time as yesterday. Things happened, 3 heart attacks and 2
strokes today alone took away from staffing so only one door was open into
where the guards check your passports and purchases. LOL We were in line for 2
hours, hardly moving, while 2 guards checked us through. Oh well.

| What an interesting stone house in Yuma It would be lovely out in a country setting. |
The thing
to be grateful for was after an hour of waiting, realizing there were still
people coming to join the end of the line. It was a w-a-a-a-a-y back there and
over the hill. After leaving Mexico, we drove to Yuma for Black Beauty to get
washed. Bill found the do it yourself that he likes and she came out the other
side looking much brighter and happier. For now. 😊

We hadn’t
had lunch but at 4 when we returned, we decided to wait eating until supper. I
started my blog and took 2 Advil as I noticed the freezing was almost out and
my mouth was a bit tender. Then, I layed down for a while and skipped the pool
today. We had hoped that our wait time would have been quicker so we could stop
in to visit friends. But time wasn’t on our side.

| In Yuma, agriculture is key. Above the beginning stages of new crops. |
 |
| We pass this rv on our way home and a certain name jumped out at me. |
 |
| Breakfast for supper. Yum. |
It was a good day, 76F/26C and a nice evening on the way.
 |
| I wasn't dressed like this today but Happy Hallowe'en! |
 |
| A cute little cow (our youngest grandson) |
 |
| Mooo not Booo! (Krystal's words, not mine) |
 |
| Alexander and his Daddy doing chores Good night! |
The cow is adorable! Wish we would have had time to meet up, but safe travels tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you, you were in our plans if things at the border had been quicker.
DeleteOne day!! ☺️
The orange flower looks to be a Mexican Bird of Paradise
ReplyDeleteThank you, everything was in Latin so i had no clue.
DeleteTwo heart attacks and three strokes among the border staff ?!!How awful
ReplyDeleteI wonder why...what a
cutie your grandson is!
Have a good and blessed night -Mary
Not border staff but people in line since morning. Border staff had to leave to help them.
DeleteThat plant is a Mexican Bird of Paradise. You should see it in AZ. They can grow in AZ, NM and Texas. I had some in AZ and now in TX.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's very pretty.
DeleteLove the little mooooo cow! Precious for sure. I would go bonkers waiting 2 hours in line..... but I guess you didn't have a choice. Our warm weather has come to an end so we're back to seasonal temps.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he adorable?
DeleteWe had to, but Bill was kept busy helping a new rver and i just people watched and shifted feet a lot.
Hi Patsy and Bill ... It appears to me that you two qualify for the Canadian Dental Plan. It covers all the basic cleaning, plus periodontal service, crowns, and even dentures!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a safe and wonderful winter getaway ... Trent
Thankyou Trent. We've checked but do not qualify. Our work and government pensions are too much. Plus works on the summer.
DeleteThe picture of the plant, the blue pick up and the red motorhome was very colorful. What an adorable grandson...those eyes!
ReplyDeleteThank you - we think Alexander is indeed adorable! ♥
DeleteThat's not good waiting that long in line when it is Hot.
ReplyDeleteNotice the Cow wondering what is happening to that tiny cow.
Be Safe and Enjoy your next Adventure.
It's about time.
We were all under cover and there were seats for those who needed them.
