Feeling Like Home – Almost, and Catching up with Friends

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Nov. 2^nd we were all awake just before 6. I had stayed up watching a favourite movie last night until 11 so this was too early for me! I fought getting up until 6:45 and finally came downstairs. Bill was up and already had finished his shower. He had something to look forward to. 😊

Good morning
from Quartzsite!

I can't begin to describe how great it feels
to wake up to know we don't have to move
for 5 months. 💖

We had breakfast, a banana and yogourt for me and after giving Marilynne a call back home, he left for the flying field. It was a lovely morning, with a beautiful pink eastern sky to start. Clouds soon moved in and it was a tug of war as to what would win. Sun or clouds? After my tea, I had my shower and then took Gibbs for a walk. We didn’t go too far, he led, I followed, just around the fence along Riggles Ave.

I'm jumping to the afternoon now.
We took a drive to Roadrunner BLM after lunch.

We’ll go further later and I need to push myself to go early by myself. I have no excuses here! The peacefulness of the early morning always drew me back home and in past winters……so that’s a goal. I emptied a couple of cupboards, to start the winter cleanout and set out my bedroom knick knacks and my homemade books. It is starting to feel like home.

Gibbs took turns on Dad's, Riley's and Mom's
laps but never wandered. ♥

We carry Clemmy with us, so he sits in the bedroom with his portrait. ♥ Gibbs doesn’t mind. After Bill returned home from his first meet up with his flying friends, we discussed the day. Since Moon Mountain Mail is only open on Saturday’s until noon, we scooted over there and popped in to see our former managers, Patti and Rick. 😊 How great to see them again, as always.

And Lo and behold, the
Indian is STILL sleeping!

Back home for lunch, it was simple. A sandwich did it for Bill and I had a bowl of white bean chili from the fridge. We each needed a snooze, good grief! And then hopped in Black Beauty and took a run out to Roadrunner BLM. Our friends, Deb and Riley, are set up out there for a few weeks and we wanted to visit before the days got away from us.

How did the windshield get so dirty already?

We found them easy enough and fell right back into a friendly banter quickly, that it lasted for a couple of hours. It is always fun to get together and share experiences about our lives on the road in an rv. Deb and Riley are from Ontario too, so there were many. This was a rare visit when it was just the 4 of us and we truly enjoyed seeing them again. Gibbs was off leash and behaved like a champ. He can sure be funny though. ♥

A messy, delicious burger.
No surprise there!

We had Bill’s famous bacon cheeseburgers for supper and then we relaxed for the evening. I did have to post an ad for M back home but then got to my blog. It has been a really good day, the friend visits topping it off nicely. 😊 We reached a high of 78F/26C under partly cloudy skies. I hope you had a good day as well.

Beautiful sky
Beautiful day
Good night!

Thank you for YOUR visit.
