Poker Pool Monday, Some Clouds Move in

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, Jan. 27^th we woke up to a wet neighbourhood. Yup, the forecasted rain came down hot and heavy overnight sometime. We didn’t hear it but everything was wet. Nancy and I met at 7:20, keeping an eye on the dark clouds that threatened more rain. She even brought her little umbrella as a back up. 😊 I had my hoody.

Good morning!
Smell the rain?
See the puddle?

It was a lovely calm, semi-warm walk and we didn’t get wet. We did, however, see a few little puddles but the air, oh the desert air! I love the smell after a good rain. ♥ Once back home, I had my cereal and Bill and Duncan left for the flying field a bit after 8. I hopped in the shower and then took Gibbs for his walk. I had to hurry him along when he began poking too much, I had a date with a pool table!

Clouds were the story today

I made my tea and walked my cue stick over to the clubhouse at 9:15-ish. Today, there were 6 to start and 5 to finish at 12 noon. We’re getting better, I think, as we finished about 6 games! Nancy won today, putting the rest of us to shame with her 7 points. I was next, 4 points behind. I think all of us one at least one game so that is always encouraging. 😊

With the warm sun, the roads and
puddles cleared up quickly

Bill and I had our meat, lettuce & cheese sandwiches together and after some fiddling with his plane, he had a couple of town errands to run. It gave me the opportunity to start my blog post for today. The clouds had cleared out by 9 but began coming back into play after lunch. White fluffy ones are acceptable but the cool winds have also picked up a bit.

Little wiggle bum leads the way

Check out today's winner!
She regains the title of
Pool Shark!

We’re in for a few even colder days, tomorrow being the worst of the bunch before a warm up next week. Dare I say, finally!!?? I did a vacuum and dust mopping of the Suite floors and then Gibbs and I went for a walk. Nancy had mentioned earlier that she would walk up to the store tomorrow for a few items. She doesn’t have a separate tow vehicle so unless we’re going, she’s a bit stuck.

It is a pretty picture but we're already
grumbling! hahaha

When Bill returned from his errands, I offered a ride to Nancy up to Coyote Fresh and Family Dollar, saving her a walk. She hesitated but accepted, feeling that she is putting us out. That is definitely not the case or we wouldn’t offer. 😊 She helps us in many ways so turnaround is fair play. She got most everything she needed and it didn’t take us more than 20 minutes, if that. Easy!

More clouds, of course

We agreed to start the next puzzle but sure did a lot of moaning over how difficult it looks to be! Ha! 1,000 pieces of torture! I’m looking forward to the challenge. When I told Nancy that my sister gave it to me, she said ‘what’s wrong with your sister?!’ Too funny, Donna, I’m sure it is your writing on the box marking it complete.

What can I say? I'm addicted.

At 4, we gave up and returned home. I showed Nancy where Gibbs’ treats, harness, leash and water dish reside. She will be keeping an eye on him tomorrow while the 4 of us take a day trip. We really appreciate it! We’ve reached a low high of 63F/19F today. For supper, we opted for fish and chips and they were tasty, as usual. This evening was an NCIS tv night, the new season has started. Yay! This was a nice day.

Supper was good.
I actually had fries tonight.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
