A Chilly Change, A Relaxing Day

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Dec. 10^th I was up by 7 and because it was only 44F/6C with a bit of a chilly wind, I wore my toque and poufy white vest. Not only would I be warm but I would be more visible than in my black wind breaker. 😊 It was a pleasant walk, getting back just as the sun rose over the east mountains. They could be the New Water Mountains but I’m not positive and it doesn't really matter. 

Good morning!
Interesting that we are nearing winter and
this trees leaves have just begun to change colour.

Here are the pictures you usually see first.

These two are right at the corner of
N. Riggles and Coyote Rd.

Pop, pop, pop

I had my tea back at home and then Gibbs and I went out again, around his block. At 9:30, I dressed down by de-layering and walked with Patty and Debbie around the big block. It’s the first time the 3 of us did that but not the last. My steps are adding up, almost 10,000, over 2 miles. 

I like my daily average
and don't need to push any harder.

My hair is getting unruly and yet because I care what Bill thinks about it, I just took a couple of inches off the back, rather than trim the layers. It looks much neater.♥ 

This water truck was in my way as it restocked

I thought I’d take my book out to read in the gazebo but even though in the sun, the wind was circling in there giving me a chill. I came in with Bill and Gibbs and read a few chapters before it was lunch time. Bill had his ham and cheese sandwich and I had a quesadilla with whatever I could find suitable. It was loaded and messy! We cleaned up and I walked over to the clubhouse to start a new puzzle.  

This was another of mine brought from home.

   The border went together easily but I dare not say anything else in case I jinx it. I worked on it until about 3 and walked back home. I had a bit of a headache, which reminded me that I had an unsettled sleep last night. I woke at 12:50 thinking I’d been asleep for many more hours than 3! Again at 4ish, something had me awake and tossing and turning. No explanation because there were dreams in there too. 😊

Shouldn't take too long.

I felt chilled today so other than taking Gibbs for his walk at 4:30, I was happy to stay home and skip Happy Hour. I think Patty and Duncan felt the same way, although we could have gathered indoors, as they remained inside too. Sometimes, it just isn’t necessary to get together every day. I had my tea and was cozy in the Suite. Bill was online watching videos until I started prepping supper.

Someone's eyes look heavy.

Yup, thought so.

Pork ribs in Madame IP with potatoes and a vegetable on the side. They were fall off the bone tender so she did a perfect job. If it wasn’t dark by the time they finished, I would have lit the Weber to brown them a bit but Bill said they were just as good the way they were. We finished up the last 3 dinner rolls but I have another 6 or 8 in the freezer for another meal. We can take two out at a time.

Yum, a Sunday meal on a Tuesday

Fall off the bone 

This was a great day. We only had a high temperature of 63F/17C, which isn’t bad at all, just about 7 degrees lower than it has been. It makes a huge difference! The wind was from the northwest between 5 and 8mph at its peak and it was cool.

So sad to hear that Al's Kelly passed away today. (thank you Mary for the update). May she rest in peace, a hard fought battle that she just couldn't win. 😢 Sorry for your loss, Al. I hope you are able to take Pheebs to say goodbye.

Thank you for stopping by.
