Saturday Serenity

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Jan. 4th when I woke at a few minutes before 7, Bill was in the shower. Once I turned over and spoke to Gibbs, I got my morning face wash. Thanks for the kisses, little bum! I bury my face in his soft fur to dry it. 😊 I noticed that it was warmer this morning than it was yesterday, 48F/9C, but there was a bit of a wind that made it feel cooler.

Good morning!
I was readying for my walk.
Gibbs was concerned that it was still dark outside. 

I dressed appropriately and was pleasantly warm. My legs felt tired today on my return trip, not sure why, but I decided to skip a bike ride today. I doubt Lila will mind the rest. I met Bill on his way out for the morning. He wasn’t flying today but instead driving over to Tommy’s (another pilot friend) for a trip to Lake Havasu City. They were picking up wood etc. to make storage boxes for the flying club.

Bottom left is what Gibbs was thinking.
The sky sure turned pretty though.

After my tea, Gibbs and I got out for his walk. The wind had picked up even more and felt cool still. Around 10, I made my bp coffee and wandered over to work on the puzzle. I like this one, very appropriate for where we are. 😊 It was noon when Bill texted that he just got home, as expected, just in time for lunch. We were back to our ham, cheese and lettuce sandwiches and they went down well. I was full!

After I returned home,
there it is. 💗

We also finished off the apple cider that I bought a while ago. This morning, I started a new book, another loaner from Bette, called The End of Her by Shari Lapena. Without getting too far into it, I’m thinking it is along the lines of the movie I watched last night. ‘A Rose for Her Grave, the Randy Roth Story’ is primarily based on a true story. It was well done.

Pretty picture, fun puzzle.

I sat with my sweeties for an hour or so, watching and listening to Youtube videos on the tv. Willie Nelson and Friends (at his 70th birthday) had me hooked even though I’ve seen it before. At 2:30, I walked over to work on the puzzle for a while, which turned into an hour and a half. The puzzle was finished when I left. Sue likes the picture very much too and would like to try and frame it for the wall in the clubhouse. 😊

Nope, Gibbs isn't spoiled at all.
More tummy rubs, please.

Our afternoon walk was a pretty one

I took Gibbs for his walk when I returned, a half decent jaunt, and then made myself a cup of tea. For supper, it was Bill’s cheeseburgers on the grill. No fault of the chef, but these patties are just not as good as some we’ve had before. I’ll have to scope them out better before I buy them next time. We still had Youtube up on the big screen and it turned into a Tribute to Merle Haggard. Fun to watch.

Still good bacon cheeseburgers.

It was a great day today, reaching a pleasant 70F/20C by late afternoon. The winds never let up much all day and the clouds lingered, moving off to the horizon by sunset. You know what that did. It created a beautiful western sky for us.

This Saturday ends even prettier than it started.
Heard from family back home and they got dumped on again.
10 to 12 inches of snow.
I believe we are in the right place - again.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.

  1. Good on you for having the discipline to get out for your walks, of course Gibbs helps with that to some degree. The puzzle pic is great and I bet it was fun. With my involvement in doing craft fairs I haven't had time (or space on my table) for puzzling yet. 😞 One thing on the burgers, I sprinkle with Montreal Steak Seasoning and some drops of soy sauce, then let them marinate for 30 min's at least before cooking - seems to help make the burgers tasty even if they're not Angus, haha!

    1. Thank you, I'm surprised at myself this winter too. I can overcome my inner excuses most mornings!
      Good tip about the burgers. I need to get both the spice and the soy sauce back in the house again. Thank you!

  3. Same sunset colors at my house! :) That was a fast puzzle-WOW.
    Johnny's Seasoning Salt or a drop of A-1 Sauce will spice up anything!

  4. What I could see of sunset last night, was similar in colour here too. Too many buildings in the way. And it was windy yesterday here too, I needed a hoodie for the gathering at happy hour. Seems silly to me, as it was still quite warm but out of the sun, the wind felt quite cool.
    Who could help but love on Gibbs, he's such a sweetie!

    1. Are you in Yuma then? I need to pop over to your blog!
      I agree about the hoodie and about Gibbs. ♥

  5. Awesome finish on the puzzle. Harvey does frame many of his, he uses some kind of glue to hold it all together on both sides, mounts it to a heavy cardboard and then frames. Sometimes he uses plexiglass which would probably be fairly inexpensive in the US.

    God bless.

    1. Sue has mentioned it a few times over the puzzles I've done in the last month or two. She has room in the clubhouse.
