It’s a Grand Day!

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Nov. 25th I was up and out by 7:30 for my walk. It was a lovely morning, with the promise of a lovely sunrise and a mild 50F/10C. There were some wispy clouds but that didn’t stop the heat from warming up the start of our week. For some of you, your week starts on Sunday, for me, Monday is the beginning. 😊

Good morning!

Mr. Bunny was at the post office outlet
again.

I do believe my walks are getting easier, I was home before I knew it after a good trip around the big block. It was a cleaning day so I dusted, vacuumed and washed the floors in the Suite before hopping into the shower. Yes, I needed cleaning too! I took Gibbs for his walk and noticed Medic Ambulance and a fire truck down around the corner. A resident was being taken to a hospital.

Pop! 

With my chores done, at 10:30 I walked over to work on the puzzle. Sue showed me how she’d set up the Pokeno cups I gave her and it looks like we’re ready to go in December! I worked on the puzzle until noon hour and returned home to my boys for lunch. We had ham, lettuce and cheese sandwiches and they were good. We finished off the last of the rice Krispie squares.

Bill got the panels cleaned
and one of them tilted to face the afternoon sun

Patty and Duncan were keeping in touch and would arrive soon so instead of going to the puzzle, I held the ladder for Bill to go up on top and wash the panels. They were filthy, he said. I trusted that as I was not about to climb up to check it out. When he finished, we did a poor job on the windows but tried. Around 1:30, the familiar Newmar motor home pulled in with 2 smiling faces in the ‘cockpit’. 😊

The Sharps arrive

They were set up beside us by 2 and we left them alone to have their lunch and get settled. Bill fiddled with his plane and I went to the clubhouse and worked until 3 on the puzzle. When I returned, we had heard that Ken and Kim were at Roadrunner and were coming in for a Happy Hour. Yay! It’s so nice to have a group together again, even for short term.

I think one more day should do it.
All these last pieces look the same!

We all sat in the gazebo together for about 3 hours, just catching up and sharing stories. We made a few tentative plans for the near future. Lots of laughs and a few beverages later, they took a tour of Patty and Duncan’s new home and left for the night. Bill and I had already planned bacon and eggs for supper and they hit the spot along with my cup of tea. After clean up, we watched NCIS and NCIS: Origins while I worked on my blog.

Ken, Kim, Patsy/Bill, Patty, Duncan
Gibbs was in the house.

This has been a wonderful day! I’m sure there are more to come. We reached a pleasant 72F/22C this afternoon with a forecasted 55F/13C overnight.

A quick meal. We had some caramel corn
'for dessert'
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
