Park Place RV Park
On Sunday, Nov. 10th it was around 7 when I woke up and got moving. Bill came up and we sorted laundry before he hopped in the shower. It wasn’t an overflowing basket this week so I carried it over and began the 2 loads. Laundry took precedence over my walk.
Good morning!
This may be our last clear sunrise view
from the Suite's door. Read on.
After I swapped
the clothes from washers to dryers, I strapped on my pouch and walked to the
east, alone, in the residential neighbourhood. I knew the yard sale was on for
the last day today and that she was marking everything 50% off. Wow! There were
things I had reconsidered IF they were still there. At 8:30, the gates weren’t
yet opened.
I returned to the clubhouse with 15 minutes left on the machines and sat at the puzzle until the clothes finished. 😊 I worked on the puzzle until almost 11, took Gibbs out for his short jaunt, and then walked back to the sale location. Her gates were open and there were at least 6 vehicles lined up and many shoppers in her yard. A lot had been sold, she had a lot of sales yesterday and people were lined up to pay. Like I said, my kind of sale!
A cute ornamental robot outside
her side gates.
Her home and yard is huge!
I
bee-lined to the Christmas quilts that I saw on Friday. Even then, the prices
were only $15 & $20 but today, ½ off? I grabbed all 3, one is a king and 2
queens. There was a set of scanners c/w headphones etc. that Bill said he might
like to try so I picked those up as well for $15. People were cashing in like
crazy and I’m sure the owner was happy things were going to good homes.
Not hand made but still lovely
and seasonal.
Quilts
are heavy, oh my, what have I done? Ha! Bill was still out with the truck so I
took my time and lugged them all back home. I’m pleased though and will either
keep them all, sell some or give some to family. We’ll see. For sure, one will
be on our bed over the Christmas season. Ho ho ho!
The puzzle is done.
Until I finish the story that came with it,
the mystery still looms. 😂
We had
sandwiches for lunch and sat outside together in the gazebo and it was then
that our neighbour returned with his American Eagle. He has been gone since we
arrived and apparently, journeys throughout the winter. Walt seems like a nice
man and we all introduced ourselves, including noisy Gibbs. 😊 I finished my book and then after Bill went back to Jim’s, I
went to the puzzle.
Gibbs ate 2 meals today and is tired out.
Not from long walks though! ♥
Sue
closed the office at 4 and at 4:10, I turned lights off in the games area and
returned home. The puzzle is as done as it will ever be, but sadly, missing 2
pieces. It was a fun one to do though, with no picture to follow. I brought the
story book home to read The Taxing Murder and learn what all those clues and
evidence mean.
Bill had
my tea ready to be made and although we hadn’t really planned supper, we agreed
on grilled cheese tonight. Works for me! They were good, mine with the addition
of sliced onions. We cleaned up the cups and fry pan and watched tv for the
evening. This has been another nice day. Perfect weather, 80F/27C, shopping fun and puzzles. 😊
Now, looking out our door,
an American Eagle blocks our morning view.
That's okay, we expected Walt to return to his site.
Good night!
Thank you
for popping in and for your comments.
I love those kind of sales!! Glad you found some treasures 😊
ReplyDeleteWe also went to the sale
ReplyDeleteQuilts are so nice to have on all types of occasions,
ReplyDeleteI would keep all three if I had purchased them .Hoping Bill, Gibbs and you are feeling happy and blessed,-Mary
They are lovely and I know exactly where they will get packed away.
DeleteThank you Mary.
What great purchases you made at that sale. Love the quilts.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks Jackie.
DeleteI like the pillows!!! That's one good thing about my small van ... there will be no buying stuff because there's no room to PUT stuff!! I have always admired that "rabbit"! I wonder if she is selling the house?
ReplyDeleteHaha, they are quilts all folded into bags. And you, the quilt queen!
DeleteNo sale of the house yet. It is humongous! She is still healthy enough but I bet she has more sales, they say her house is full.
Incredible prices for the quilts, especially considering the cost of material. You did good! :)
ReplyDeleteShame that your view is blocked, but if he travels throughout the winter, you may have an open space again soon.
Enjoy that lovely weather - it's right around freezing here every morning, though we're still having warmer than normal weather for November.
Thank you, I feel good about my purchases too!
DeleteThe days are beautiful right now.
