Day by Day Stuff, Enjoying Life, Shooting Pool

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Nov. 9^th I woke for the second time and looked at the clock. It was 7:08 so I did my usual leg stretches, adding a couple for a sore back. I noticed last night when I got up out of my recliner that I had a twinge. It was gone by morning but as a precaution, I did them anyway. 😊 I could hear Bill in deep sleep, aka snoring, downstairs in his recliner so he was still tired.

Good morning!
She was already up over the horizon when I got out.

I washed, dressed, and slipped out the door trying hard not to wake him. Unfortunately, Gibbs barked and so went that plan. He likes to be moving by 7:30 anyway so no harm done, I’m sure. The air was coolish but without wind and with plenty of sun (which I missed rising), I was comfortable. My poncho is working out great, not too hot but plenty warm with a hoody underneath.

Gibbs wants you to meet Monkey.
Squeaker still in place and most fibrefill also.
I think he loves this one, maybe remembers him
from his first year. 💓

I’m finding that the walk goes faster if I have my ear buds in and listen to SiriusXM. Certain songs also beef up my tempo too which is good occasionally too. 😊 Back home, I made my tea and sat to play my games. Bill was almost ready to leave and disconnected us from power for the day, as we have for a number of days in a row. That will help our electric bill at the end of the month.

The picture is coming together.
Oooh, a bloody knife!
I might have to look for more like this!

Today was vacuum day so I got the Dirt Devil out and took care of that business and then hopped in the shower. Almost 10, I took Gibbs out for his walk, which was brief but enough for him to do his business. Monkey was home waiting for him. We don’t let him take his toys because he’ll drop them to sniff and we have to carry them. 😊

I've tried to capture these speedy guys
for a few days now.
I love the Gamble Quail.
I've seen Mr. Roadrunner for 3 days now but
he is never close enough for a picture.

I made my coffee and walked over to the clubhouse. This puzzle is a challenge but I’m enjoying the mystery. I wasn’t going to show a picture of it this time, but since the puzzle won’t be done by anyone reading my blog, it doesn’t matter. That would spoil the fun of it for others. I returned home at noon, when I saw Bill had also made it back. We had sandwiches for lunch and my sweeties snoozed.

Jumping to my afternoon walk behind
the housing complex.

I started my blog, checked our Catch the Ace draw back home and returned to the clubhouse. Bill went over to Jim’s to work on a plane and decided I was going to uncover the pool table and get familiar with shooting some balls around again. It has been a long time! Now, where did I put my pool cue? Oh yes, under the bed.

This is a well staged side yard.
The working windmill made a lovely shadow too.

I played two games on my own (and won both, haha), covered the table and worked on the puzzle until 2:30. That was enough for today. I sat in the gazebo and Gibbs sat on the step in the shade until 3:30 or so and we came inside just as Bill returned home. I made a tea and went back out. It is quite comfy out there in the partial sun and my reclining chair. I could have snoozed too but the book is too good now.

Oh, the Saguaros!
Between 50 - 75 years old before they get babies
but look at how the base deteriorates.
Makes me sad.

This is how close to the desert and mountains we are
here. Love the views.

Gibbs walked a short distance this aft again, did his business and returned to Monkey. I took my own walk around the residential block and got my extra steps in that way. For supper, we had fish and chips and squash (for me). I can skip the fries easy enough because I love my squash. 😊 We ate early because of a movie starting at 8 pm (6 MT) so we wanted dishes cleaned up before then.

Supper was good.

This has been another quiet day and what lovely weather! I hope yours has also been a great day. We had a high temperature today of 78F/26C, just gorgeous!

These doves look like they are settled in for the night.
Safe from 4 legged critters too.
Good night!

Thank you for the visit.
