We’ve Been Waiting for This – Silly Al’s!

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Dec. 3rd we were up by 7 and I was faithful to my walking program again. It’s pretty much become a routine since I started on Nov. 4th. 😊 Yesterday, my ear buds were dead, so I had to listen to Sirius with my phone in my pocket and the volume up a bit. This morning, they were fully charged so I popped one in and bee-bopped all the way to Christmas music.

Good morning!
The north sky

It's the pop that made today's
pictures worth it.

I’m not keen on the artists when they change up a classic Christmas carol. Actually, it drives me nuts! Mariah, don’t change Silent Night and no one should touch Little Drummer Boy!! Ever!! Go write your own! I feel better getting that off my chest. 😊 After my walk, I made my tea and the boys left for the flying field. When my tea was finished, Gibbs and I went around the block before returning to the Suite.

Much better! 

It was 47F/8C when I headed out and by 9:30 it had warmed up nicely to 50F/10C. With full on sunshine, it felt warm enough for shorts so I changed to fit the weather. At 10, it was time to pay attention to the puzzle. I wasn’t pleased with my progress so far; it seemed to be taking forever to get just a few pieces in. When I left at 11:45, I was happy. I got a lot of pieces in today, so took the picture.

While I worked on the puzzle,
I put Christmas music on for Bette who was
putting the decorations up for Sue.
She's not done yet.

Bill and I had our meat, lettuce and cheese sandwiches and I’ve decided not to buy the keto bread in Quartzsite again. Not unless they change brands. The crust is not pleasant tasting at all so, like a child, I stripped it off. We’ll get to Walmart this week and I’ll get the good stuff. I hope. Patty and I went for a walk around 1:30 and added to our step count and then we all gathered in the gazebo for Happy Hour.

Gibbs like the under-the-chair postion
at Happy Hour if not on my lap.

Ken and Kim arrived around 3ish and we passed the time quickly until 4. The plan was to head to Silly Al’s, another first experience for us this winter and a first experience for Patty and Duncan. I wasn’t worried about their reactions, no one leaves S. A’s disappointed. Bill and I ordered our small pizzas, his the Hawaiian and mine the Meat Lovers with added green olives. I know that part won’t surprise my readers. 😊

If you weren't hungry before...........
how about now?
Oh, I love this pizza!

Back home, I moved my leftover pizza into a smaller size container and walked the box over to the garbage. It was then that I noticed how warm the evening was. It was 6 o’clock and still 68F/20C. Lovely evening and so was the sky in the west. Inside, Bill found a movie and I listened to more Christmas music while working on my blog.

Now that right there is a happy group!
Patty, Kim, Ken, Duncan and Bill.
PS - If you have ever been at Silly Al's with us,
your name was mentioned this evening. We
were running through the memories.

BTW, Country Christmas is the best one for the classic tunes as they were meant to be sung but I can only get it on my phone app. This has been a wonderful day. I have something new planned for tomorrow so come back, if you can! It was warm today at 77F/25C, we loved it!

Such a pretty evening sky.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.

  1. It's funny you don't want
    anyone messing with
    the Little Drummer boy song.My pet peeve are movies about Christmas that don't mention Christ.
    I hope you, Bill and Gibbs have a good night -Mary

  3. Sounds like a good day. Great sunrise and a great way to end the day pizza with friends.
    I agree that artist should not mess with traditional Christmas Songs.
    I have tried so many keto breads and most end up being dried for bread crumbs...lol
    Have you ever tried Dave's Killer Bread. I buy the thin sliced not keto but lower in carbs. I have only had the 21 grain and Seeded and the Good Seed and liked both. Just a thought if you cannot
    find what you are looking for. Though it isn't always in stock either.

  4. I'm not a fan of olives but the rest of the pizza looks great. Not very small, though. Nice to have leftovers for the next day.
    Lovely sunrise and sunset photos!

  5. Try YouTube for Christmas music. Just type in Christmas music and all kinds of things pop up. It is the only place I listen to Christmas music.

  6. Looks like the Christmas Spirit has arrived in Quartzsite.
    Even though we have great Pizza places here in Windsor, Silly Al's is by far the best.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  7. Hope you don't mind going back to all those restaurants when I get there!! LOVE Silly Als! As for Christmas music, I rarely listen to it, but DEFINITELY do NOT mess with Little Drummer Boy. It's my favorite too.
