Return to Mexico, Longer Wait, Happy Hallowe’en!

Pilot Knob RV Resort

On Thursday, Oct. 31^st 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. 😊

Bill was happy to find his usual DIY wash

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.

I felt better when I got up and Bill and had a breakfast meal for supper. Scrambled eggs with bacon on toast or in a wrap. Yum, it was good! After clean up, I finished my blog and we relaxed for the evening. Moving day tomorrow, we’ve enjoyed the time here.

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!
