The Winner Takes All, She Has Arrived!

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Dec. 23^rd I was up and out for my walk by 7:20. I was up before 7 but I sat and waited for daylight to make an appearance. It was 47F/8C so pleasant for walking. I didn’t need my windbreaker this morning. The boys left after I got home and I hopped in the shower. While my hair dried, (which doesn’t take long) I sat with Gibbs and then we went for his walk.

Good morning!
Funny how a selfie turns the picture
around completely.

It was already warming up so by then, I was in shorts. It was a bit mixed up in the clubhouse, as far as playing poker pool, but only because the managers were waiting for an electrical contractor to come and do some repairs on some of the posts in the park. We had all been advised to turn off our power and unplug by 9 am. Once the contractor arrived, we were sure the lights would remain on for us. 😊

A pretty sky this morning again

So, there were 4 of us to start playing and then at 11, just 3 but we had fun and I walked away the winner. There is no prize but I walked away feeling proud. I know Jess was quite excited that she won a game too. I’m so glad that we have ladies interested enough to come back. Back home at noon for lunch with Bill, we had our ham sandwiches. I opened one of the Sam’s Club loaves of keto bread and love it! Yay!

I know this is blurred but
a typical morning. We each sit on this
step to put our running shoes on.
Gibbs squeezes in beside us, puts his paw on our
leg and does everything to get our attention. 💘

After lunch, I walked over to start the quilt puzzle and ended up so frustrated. I’d obviously forgotten what a challenge it was to start. Trying to figure which pieces were border pieces was the first challenge and then working with pieces that don’t always join – they just jut up next to another one. Oh well, I’m griping. I’ll get there but don’t shoot me if I don’t finish the border/edge before working inside. 😊

I'd forgotten that this puzzle had funny pieces
in the border. LOL

I came home around 3 and sat in the gazebo for a while with my next book. It is called Whispers by Belva Plain, one I got from Patty. It is good, different than my usual ones but it has grabbed my attention. I delivered very few Christmas cards today and we’ve received a couple in return. Not in that order. ♥ Around 3:30, Bill saw our good friend, Nancy, drive in with her new Pleasureway rv. He walked over to greet her.

Already chewing into a toy from Nancy.

She was set up in no time, basically hooking up, and joined us, with Patty and Duncan for a brief happy hour. We invited her for supper with us tonight so she didn’t have to eat alone nor did she have to decide what to eat after travelling all day. It was a simple meal, just sausages on a bun but she added a special touch by bringing us each a Nestles drumstick. Yum!

Well? Naughty-ish or Nice-ish?

She brought a bag full of toys etc. for Gibbs and before she left, we gave her a couple of gifts for her and Cooper. Sorry, Jonathan, next time! Before supper, Gibbs and I went for a short walk. 

A lovely shot while walking with Gibbs
before supper.

What a character.
Never met a toy he couldn't chew apart.

Gibbs has already emptied the stuffed stocking from the bag and ripped open the boomerang and is removing the squeaker and stuffing as I type. LOL Which one is indestructible, Nancy? 😊

Her cute little rig nestled in with the big guys.

Supper was delicious!
Thanks Nancy for the ice cream cone!

After she left, in the dark, I finished my blog and we found something to watch on tv. Nancy will be leaving in the morning so a short stop for her this time, but we are always very happy to see her whenever possible. This has been a lovely day! It reached a warm 76F/25C and only dropping to 48F/9C overnight. Should be perfect.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping around. Your comments are always welcome!
