Gorgeous Day! Yard Saling, Dog Park

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Nov. 8^th things followed our normal routine to start. Bill and Gibbs were up after 6 for their first outing. Then Gibbs and I got up just before 7 for my first outing. 😊 I washed, dressed and headed out into the 41F/5C morning. There was clear sky again and slight, if any, breeze to speak of. I was sufficiently dressed and thoroughly enjoyed the walk.

Good morning!

Bill left for the flying field and after my reward (my cup of tea), I took Gibbs for his walk around the park block. Then at 9:15, I downgraded my attire and walked back to the residential suburb. I noticed a sign this morning stating GIGANTIC Yard Sale at the Arroyos. I headed there with my fanny pack and was not disappointed. I wish I’d taken a picture. They weren’t kidding, it was gigantic in any language! 😊

Best yard sale I've been to in a while.
It's on tomorrow and then Sunday is 50% off day.
I'll be going back, there are a couple of things...............

The best part is that even though it was all bagged and priced, the prices were unexpectedly low. If I had a house, I’m sure I would have needed B.B. to bring home my purchases. This lady, who recently lost her husband, used to entertain over 30 residents for every occasion. She had full dish sets for Christmas, Thanksgiving, boat parties, beach parties, Nascar parties etc. I was duly impressed.

What a good little walker he was this morning!

I chose 4 Christmas plates and a serving tray, 3 stocking hangers and a strengthening hand exercise ‘football’. Yes, just because that is the shape it is. 😊 P.S. my hand strength is not very good but it was a gadget that I wanted. Across the street, another yard sale produced a new Christmas wreath for our door that lights up. For $3, I couldn’t pass it up, since we need one.

I had a pizza craving at noon, so
I made one.

A puzzling puzzle.
It is a mystery one where you put the puzzle
together to find clues BUT, the puzzle picture is not the same
as on the box. It was fun not knowing what I was doing!
It's 1,000 pieces of mystery.

Bill was home fairly early from the field and came over to the clubhouse to help Sue set up her Starlink in the office. I put my puzzle away and put our chair quilts in the washer before finding a new challenge to work on. We decided while the blankets were on the line to dry, we’d go back so he could check out the garage full of tools at the sale. He found a couple of t-shirts as well and I came home with a couple more things. LOL

Dog park.
Gibbs' first time and he was pretty good
with the doggies. I think he was the youngest.

I went back to the puzzle while the boys napped and then we drove Gibbs to the dog park down by the flying field. I wanted Bill with me the first time so we could see how Gibbs behaved. He is more of a people pooch than a dog pooch, but he had the opportunity to sniff, get petted and dribble before we headed home. I’ll try and take him more often to see if he likes it. He’s sleeping now, so we won’t need to walk this afternoon. ♥

I'm happy with my purchases today.
This small tool caddy will be used for my crafts,
I think. The stones are what I need for my
outside vase globes that I made last summer.
Flat on one side.

Bill and I each cracked open a Jack Daniels lemonade before supper. It wasn’t a ‘tea’ day for me today. 😊 Grilled bacon cheeseburgers for supper and a quiet evening in front of the tv. The day warmed up nicely to a sunny 74F/24C with still no wind worth mentioning.

The burger.....well, you know.
Delicious!

We’ve been here in the park for a week already and it just seem like it. I think because other than puzzles, there haven’t been any of the games to take part in. Hopefully soon! We’ve enjoyed a nice day. Today is m-i-l's birthday, so Happy Birthday, Marilynne!

Thank you for stopping in! (PS - a note for the commenter from Washington State - thank you!! I didn't realize my blog title had disappeared. My friend who took the picture has the watermark "on a long lonesome highway" on her pictures and I didn't want to remove it. You were not rude at all pointing that out. I think I've fixed it now.)
