Visiting, Pets for Mr. Gibbs, Dinner Out

Park Place RV Park 

On Friday, Nov. 22^nd it was after 7 when I dragged myself out of bed. Ha ha, dragged, only because it was a morning where I’d been dreaming ‘forever’ and I could easily have talked myself into rolling over and going back to sleep. Nope, once I start doing that, I will find it too easy to make excuses each day. 😊 So, like a good girl, I got up, made the bed, washed, dressed and went for my walk.

Good morning!

It was colder still at that time of the morning, 37F/2.6C. Brr. But, again, no wind so other than my toque and gloves, I was pleasantly warm in just a fleece jacket and wind breaker. I do wear my heavy fleece stretch pants though and that helps. I was back just in time to see Bill packing up to head for the field. I had my cereal and tea before taking Gibbs out for his walk. He was raring to go and, although he walks well with me, he wasn’t sure if he wanted to stop when we got near home.

I made my bp coffee and walked over to the puzzle for a bit before lunch. Elva popped in to visit just before noon and we chatted until it was time to head out for lunch. I was home by 12:20 and decided since Bill wasn’t home yet, I’d cook up the last 4 keto pancakes for my lunch. He would be having a sandwich anyway. He wasn’t too much after me. My pancakes were good, drowned in that maple syrup how could they not be? 😊

Pancakes and syrup for lunch.
Um, maybe I should say Syrup with pancakes. 😂

After Bill went back to Jim’s, he did finish his plane this morning except for a flight test, Gibbs and I had visitors. Elva and Jerry stopped by for about 45 minutes. Gibbs could have been better, the barking at passersby frustrates me, but he had fun playing with Jerry and visa versa. There is a young family in the park (well, more than one) and when they walk their very quiet, calm dog, Gibbs just goes crazy with his barking. They take a long time walking by which enhances his noise. Today was no different. It’s not their fault, nor Gibbs’. It is ours. ☹

Gibbs knew who to go to to get belly rubs

When they left with ‘see ya laters’, Irma popped over and although the barking ensued again, Gibbs did calm down once we basically ignored him. We caught up on a few bits of news and I showed her the info on the event at the town park tomorrow. It should be a good day. Bill’s flying club, as well as other vendors, will have a static display, of sorts, for attendees and it is all free. I hope it turns out well for them all.

And he had to pose with Elva for a picture too!

Bill and a few of the guys were setting up later this afternoon but when he returned home at 4, we got cleaned up for a meal out with our friends. Elva and Jerry suggested Mountain Quail Café and with it being their Fish and Chips special ‘night’, we’re all in. We’ve wanted to try them for a while but find we’re never there on the right night. There may be a line up – we’ll see. 

Yummy!

We had service right at the door when Jerry’s Jeep pulled up to drive to the restaurant at 4:45. Right on time, too! 😊 There was a line-up at the door so we added our name to the list. As many people were piling out as were lined up to enter so it was maybe 10 minutes and large groups were allowed to find a seat. We ordered and were in and out by 6 pm. That’s without rushing!

Elva suggested I take a picture of the palms for
our friend, Patty.

The meals were great and topped off by our drivers footing the bill. That wasn’t planned or necessary but we accepted with grace. It was very nice. ♥ Back home, Gibbs was patiently waiting for us in the dark. Oops! We forgot to leave a light on for him. I finished my blog and we watched tv to pass the evening. This was a really nice day, with visits from friends and neighbours. We reached a lovely high of 76F/24.4C today, another bonus.

Thank you to my readers who suggested some new series for me to watch. I've been curious about Murder in a Small Town and now Landman also sounds interesting with BB Thornton. Matlock and Elspeth are both off until after Thanksgiving, returning on Dec. 5th and I found that Cross recorded all 8 episodes on Nov. 14th so I can stream them now at my leisure. PS - Nancy K, Gibbs loved all the pets you asked Elva to give him! 😍

Thank you Jerry and Elva!
The romantic lighting was perfect! 💖
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.
