Wrapping it Up (Again) This Time in Reverse

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Dec. 29^th we were all mobile by 7, sorting clothes and headed over to the clubhouse to do our weekly laundry. All 3 machines were up and running again but we only needed to do 2 loads. I had already decided that after I loaded the dryers, so in 25 minutes, I would go for my walk.

Goood morning!

Back at the Suite, while Bill got ready to go flying (yes, feeling mucho better!), I put my running shoes on and carried my windbreaker and vest over with me. Oh, and my ear buds. 😊 It was a nice morning, beautiful clear skies but a cool 39F/3C. I’m glad my hoody as I needed to put it up to cover my ears on the north/south part of my walk. There wasn’t a lot of wind but the air felt cool.

You never walk alone

I went directly to the laundry room on my return and I had worked up a good heat by then. The sun had popped, of course, because it was after 8. I walked into the clubhouse and the heat in there hit me like a ton of bricks! Wow, I couldn’t get the layers off fast enough! Ha ha. Not excessive, just a total change from outdoors after a heated walk. My nose began running immediately.

Selfie time
What a great time to walk!

I folded the clothes and carried everything back to the Suite, putting all but Bill’s clothes etc. in their respective cupboards and drawers. Now, it was time for breakfast! I felt famished so my Rice Krispies and tea went down great. I messaged Patty next door to see how she was feeling and was sad to hear she is still battling the cough and sneezing. It took Bill 5 days to see a turnaround, even though a different kind.

This picture is out of order, but yes,
the decorations are wrapped up for another year.

Gibbs and I went for his walk and then we relaxed outside with my book, in the sun, until the boys returned around 10:30 (ish). Gibbs remained in the shade on the step, knowing his Daddy would soon be back. ♥ We passed the time until noon and had our ham, cheese and lettuce sandwiches. Bill had put the Christmas lights away yesterday so I tackled the Suite, returning things to normal. I usually wait until New Years but it was time and I wanted to dust in here.

I'm leaving the barnboard until last.
There seems to be so much that looks the same!

By then it was after 2 so I took my water over to the clubhouse. Puzzle time! It took a while to find a piece, seemed I sat looking for a long time before the first one dropped in. It went smoother after that and I worked away for a couple of hours, returning just before 4. I made my tea and took it and my next book outside to the gazebo. I finished Whispers by Belva Plain and started into a Louise Penny that Bette loaned me. 

This picture looks the same as the sunrise
but it is approaching sunset, facing west
over a dusty horizon.

Even though I got right into the story, the host behind us was on  loud speaker with her son on the phone, so I ended up coming inside and closing a window. One downfall of living in a park, although that is the first we’ve had this issue. 😊 I’m sure she has no idea how loud she is. Hey, I’m married to a loud talker too. We had steak, fried potatoes, mixed veggies, mushrooms and shrimp for supper.

Gibbs chose to walk to Quail Trail St. this afternoon.

I tell him he's a good boy, and he stops and looks at me.
Yes, I'm talking to you! 💗

 It was quite tasty! I thought I’d offer up an ice cream using the Signature Extreme Moose Tracks I bought at Safeway for $1.97. Well, it would have been if I had been asked for my card……….she didn’t and I forgot. Duh. Oh well, our first stray from Tillamook in a dogs age and because it was chocolate……….’nuff said. It was delicious! 😊 We cleaned up after our meal and had a quiet evening together.

A yummy meal.

We reached a lovely high of 73F/23C, with no complaints whatsoever about our weather. Nights are still dropping to 45F/7C or lower (in the next week) but it is fine for sleeping. Sometimes we turn the blue flame heater on, other times not. The house looks nice again, although I do enjoy the Christmas decorations during the season. Everything is packed neatly, in its place, under the bed and on a top shelf over the sofa. 

I can almost see a doggie's profile in the
ice cream. LOL Time to call it a night!
Good night!

Thank you for the visit!
