Friday is Class Day, To Parker To Parker to Fill up our Suite

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Dec. 27th, Christmas is almost just a memory now. We still put our outside lights on, because it is pretty, and the tree lights in the evening. I love that ambience with no other lighting. 😊 I was up by 7 and out the door by 7:30. It was 50F/10C with a bit of a breeze. Bill’s head cold was still lingering so he decided to stay home this morning, and informed Duncan. He was happy that Duncan hopped in his car and went flying anyway. I think that man is hooked!

Good morning!
If this doesn't encourage me to walk,
not much will.

After my return, I had my tea and took Gibbs out for his walk. Bill had deduced that going to Walmart in Parker was not a good idea either, so I accepted D & P’s offer to tag along with them. Our grocery list was growing, day by day, and there were a number of things we needed to restock. But first! At 9:40, Jess and Jessie picked me up and we went to the Desert Camel Crafts for class.

No matter which way I looked,
the sky was beautiful.

Brighter and brighter

Jess teaches, as you know, but Jessie helps the shop owner on Fridays, with whatever she needs done. 😊 This morning Georgia had errands so Jessie stepped in to man the store in her absence. Us ladies, 3 of us today, were in the corner learning to make more flowers for greeting cards. It doesn’t matter what we are making, I am just loving the fact that I am getting out there and having fun.

The path was well lit by the time
I got to it.

Today, my colour choices were not the best for the background I chose BUT I am proud of what I made and, even though I felt rushed to finish those last leaves, we were still out of the shop at 12:30 and on our way home. By no means did Jess rush us, but we all try to be finished by noon to allow for another class at 1. Bill was just starting to make his sandwich so I joined him and was ready to catch my next ride by 1.

It was a small class but very
enjoyable. My 'busy' card on top
and the classes creations on bottom.

Duncan drove and, as always, I love the route. The desert, the mountains, the blue sky, all mesmerize me each and every time. We went our separate ways and met outside the front doors with our carts full of groceries. 

On the road to Parker.
They almost look like postcards. 💓

One quick stop at Safeway, across the street, a water car wash at Terrible’s and we were on our way home. Bill and Gibbs greeted us with smiles but he still sound like the gas station. (Terrible) Poor guy.

While in Walmart, I turned down a FOOD aisle
and across from it were these bins for sale.
??? Oddest looking groceries, eh???

With the food items in their proper cupboards, shelves, fridge/freezer I changed into shorts and sat outside with a cup of tea. Bill tried to sit with me but was just not feeling up to it. At least, I’m trying to look at a positive, it isn’t in his chest, or throat and it isn’t a fever. Hopefully tomorrow, he will see relief. After my tea was done, Gibbs and I went for his walk around the park.

Gibbs and I saw the sun getting
ready to say goodnight.

Supper time and we agreed on simple again, but enough to ‘stuff that cold’ again. 😊 Grilled cheese sandwiches and Bill got a nice dish of Black Cherry ice cream for dessert. I was quite full but may find a Lindor chocolate from my stocking later on this evening. It was a much nicer day today, reaching 71F/22C but feeling hotter than that with that sunshine! We cleaned up the fry pan and loaded the dishwasher before settling in for the night.

Simple and it filled us.
Mostly. 😁

I hope you’ve had a nice day too; I know weather back home is on the mild side and good for traveling right now. My sister, Donna, sent this picture of our Ontario home. Looks pretty peaceful, doesn’t it?

Good night!

Thank you for stopping by. Thank you also for the wishes for Bill's wellness and condolences. I think Craftyfox may just have talked me into buying more cinnamon rolls!!! Oh my, that is something I'm going to try with my next batch. (they're in the fridge!)

  1. Ohhhh yea ... cinnamon rolls!! I love the cards you made. So sorry Bill is feeling so bad. I've heard it lasts a couple of weeks. Sending good thoughts it clears up fast.

  2. In my experience, most head colds take 10 days or so to completely resolve themselves. Meanwhile the patient feels miserable for most of it. Getting lots of rest, and getting hydrated is the way to go. Ice cream sounds good too. :)
    Your new hobby looks interesting, and a lot of fun. Enjoy that lovely weather!

  3. I love reading your daily blogs. I was watching a utube video, Rusty 78609, and I think I saw Bill and his plane. Thanks for the daily thoughts. Roger

    1. Thank you Roger for the comment! And for the YouTube video recommendation. We didn't know about it but Bill is thrilled to have a nice video of his flight with his new plane.

  6. Hi, enjoying your blog, thank you for sharing. Stores can not have empty shelves, but sometimes they do not have the current product to fill them, so storage totes fill the area. Having rare spring days at the end of December in Ohio, 50’s! We have been outside this weekend taking care of outdoor chores, plus got a walk in. Deana

  7. I love your 'busy' card! Too bad Bill doesn't have my elderberry syrup. It works like a charm. At the first sign of a tickle, I take a teaspoon a few times a day to nip it in the bud. My last cold symptoms lasted 2 days!
    Gibbs is so destructive with his toys! He would make a great test dog.😄
