Bill’s Day Seven at the Show, Family Birthday

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Jan. 24^th it was 6:45 when I got up and made the bed. Bill was downstairs emptying the dishwasher and getting his breakfast. I had decided that I wouldn’t be doing the 7:15 walk this morning, and notified Nancy. Bill works ½ day today so I took him for one reason or another. On the way back, after dropping him at 8:20, I stopped at Moon Mountain Mail to pick up my last parcel. 😊

Good morning!

Then a stop at Coyote Fresh for a few potatoes and my whipping cream. The price is ridiculous but it is anywhere and hard to find in Quartzsite. I popped next door to buy our 2% milk at Family Dollar and saved $1.50 right there. Made up for the cream price! Back home, I took Gibbs out for his walk and was so pleased with the beautiful day this was shaping up to be.

It was a lovely morning.

The winds died overnight and oh! Last night, I watched tv upstairs for a change and heard our travelling neighbour backing in at 10:15pm. That’s a no-no here, no entry after dark is the rule…………….well, Walt doesn’t play by the rules. If he wasn’t such a nice man (and often absent!), I would be quite ticked. It still isn’t right that he does that. He is a good ‘parker’ but still.

We've been watching this Kalanchoe for a while
and finally she bloomed!

My view is blocked of the sunrise and that is the only negative for me, having him next door. 😊 We started our day at a cold 30F/-1C so I’m just as happy that I wasn’t out there at 7 o’clock! At least the overnight temps are warming up 10 degrees for the rest of the month. That’s an improvement and with the sun beaming down, the daytime high is pleasant enough.

Thought this turned out cute.
He had to stop and watch a couple backing a 5th
wheel toy hauler in a spot next door.

Nancy and I met at 9:30 and went for a walk around the big block. What a gorgeous morning! I made a coffee and we walked over to start our next challenging puzzle. We worked away until noon hour. I had my second cinnamon bun for lunch, oh, Nancy, they are so good! ♥

Nancy and I started this puzzle this morning.

Just before 1, Bill called that he was ready for me to pick him up. I gave Gibbs his treat and met Bill in an easy spot. Boy, that parking lot was still full to the brim, with only 3 days left of the show! Back home, he had his lunch and we relaxed together for a bit with our pooch. 😊

My bike bell arrived today.
We'll get Lila set up tomorrow. 😃

When Bill went upstairs for a nap, I took Gibbs for his walk and then sat and read quite a few chapters of my book. I walked to the puzzle around 3:30. Nancy and I added a few more pieces before calling it a day around 4:15. I missed my afternoon tea so was hungry for supper. Grilled sausages on a bun tonight with apple crisp for dessert.

Supper was delicious!

Those sausages hit the spot so we waited an hour before having the crisp. I could see out the west side window that a bit of a sky performance was taking place so I slipped into my shoes and nipped out for a picture. This was a good day, reaching 67F/19C and I met my step goal again after a couple of lax days. Tomorrow is a potluck day, soup and/or salad being the theme. I will be making mine in the morning.

Pink mountains to the east.
A cloud frenzy to the west.
Good night!

Finally, Happy Birthday to Bill's youngest sister, Liz! Hoping it was a great day. 

Happy Birthday, Liz!
