Busy Morning, Getting Back to our Happy Hours

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Jan. 5^th Bill was up at 5. He said that we had no power as our alarm clock light was not displaying on the ceiling and the Suite was dark. Our batteries were charged to a decent 13.5 last night so we didn’t connect to power and left the inverter on. Hmm, not sure what used the power but he rectified it by switching us on, checked batteries and then returned to bed. Well, to his recliner. 😊

Good morning!

Gibbs was up at 6 to go out and I followed at 7 to start with the laundry process. We loaded 2 machines and returned to the Suite. While he readied to go flying, I played my morning Wordle games and then dressed for my walk. At the 25-minute mark, I walked over to switch clothes from washers to dryers and then carried on from there for my walk. It usually takes me 30 minutes, tops, and true enough, I was back to wait the last 15 minutes it took for the dryers.

I started the Garden Birds puzzle from Nancy.
It is 500 pieces and should be a fun one to work on.

Back home, I made my tea and had a bowl of cereal. I was quite hungry! Then it was Gibbs’ turn, so we went for his walk. It was longer than normal and we were still parading along N. Riggles Ave. when Bill and Duncan returned to the field. A hello and goodbye, as it was my turn to relax. I felt like I’d been go-go-going since I woke up. Hmm, I guess I was! 😊

We went to Tyson Wells after lunch.
Things are picking up in 'vendor/tent city'

I moved the desert puzzle to the side and began a Garden Birds puzzle that Nancy gave me to work on. I’m saving the train one for when she returns so we can work on it together. I made good progress; this is only 500-pieces so shouldn’t take too too long. I may have to eat my words on that! I returned home at noon to have lunch with Bill and we discussed the afternoon. He wants to go to Tyson Wells and I think I’ll tag along.

It is a homemade Rock Tumbler.

in your pocket, it's yours!

After my boys had their snoozes, we invited Duncan and Patty along. As it turned out, they were thinking the same thing so they drove instead. Our friends, Jess and Jessie have found themselves with colds so asked if I could pick up some meds for them while in town. Aaah, hope they feel better soon. We walked T.W. and picked up a few things, here and there. It is starting to get busy, of course it is a Sunday, but more vendors appear each week.

Bill and Gibbs waiting for Happy Hour
to begin.

Back home, Gibbs and I walked and dropped the meds off at J & J’s home. Then it was time for Happy Hour in the gazebo. Bill and I enjoyed a Seagram’s cooler and D & P joined us. The air got cool around 4:30 so I had to break up the ‘party’. We turned our power back on and I started the package of pork shoulder pieces in Madame IP. On the side we had fried potatoes, sprouts and corn and boy was it good! That’s the best that pork has turned out! 20 minutes cook, 6 minutes release and I made a gravy from the drippings.

This pork was soooo tender.
These little pieces cooked up perfectly.

We each had an ice cream cone for dessert and settled in for the evening. I found it to be a coolish day today, thanks to the wind, but no, we’re not complaining. I think we reached around 69F/20C at its peak. This has been a good day, things got done and maybe tomorrow I’ll try and bake something. Hmmm.

A couple of memory pictures
from our first year.

Clemson loved Pat and visa versa.💕
Some pictures just make you smile.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping around.
