The Weather Improves, Bill Prepares and Happy Hour Gang

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Jan. 17^th I woke at 6:13 when Gibbs jumped back on the bed after going out for his morning constitution walk. 😊 That business taken care of. At 6:45, I did my stretches, including the block for 3 minutes in that aching area of my lower back. There isn’t a lot of floor space in our unit, well maybe to Nancy there is. It means that only exercises that can be done in a 6’ x 2 ½’ space, can be done the floor of the Suite so I do them on the bed.

Good morning!

My camel in the window tells me the sun has risen

I could take my yoga mat out to the patio mat if I was so inclined. I’m not. It works for me. Nancy wanted to join me for my early morning walk since she is up really early, so at 7:15 we met and did the big block. It was chilly at 43F/6C but not bad at all. I layer a lot! There was a slight 2.5mph breeze which we hardly noticed. We parted ways 3500 steps (or so) later and I came in for bowl of Special K and my tea.

Meet my 'pretend' block
It isn't made of bamboo. 😀

When it was Gibbs’ turn, he took me around his regular block. Because just as we were leaving, Bill and Duncan returned from the field, Gibbs stopped halfway around debating whether we should be going back to Daddy. I waited and he soon carried on. 😊 Such a goof! It was turning into a gorgeous day with clear skies, little to NO wind (dare I say?) and warming up to 70F/21C this afternoon.

So, for lunch I baked cinnamon buns.
They shouldn't be soggy on the bottom, right?
And that's a lot of cream in the bottom when I only used
1/4 cup.

Gibbs and I sat outside with Bill with our coffees and soaked in the sun beaming down on our site. Nancy joined briefly until 11:30 when it was time to bake the Pillsbury cinnamon buns. Okay ladies, maybe in the convection oven it is different but I followed directions to add the cream and it just didn’t seem right. I used the lesser amount suggested and Bill said ‘please don’t do this again’. 😊 The bottoms were soggy and he doesn’t do soggy. I had to try; they sounded good and still tasted good.

I sorted through the puzzles yesterday and set
any aside for garbage that had pieces missing.
Today, Fred and Sue put a shelf together to house the ones
that are left.
Neat, easily reachable and they have 2 empty cupboards now.

He dozed for 30 minutes, or less because of Gibbs notifying us of passersby, and left at 12:30 to go to the big tent to finish setting up their planes in their booth. The banner they had made is awesome, he’ll be posting a picture later I’m sure. I had Madame IP boil me 5 eggs so I can make egg salad sandwiches for him this week. He and Tommy agreed to take their lunches and snacks for the 9 days they work. Good idea!

Some headway was made today on the 
current puzzle. Steps, some fencing and some buntings. 
(my new word of the day) 😁

I washed my hair, since a shower wasn’t necessary, in my own preparation for tomorrow’s early departure. First day at the RV Show means get there early for a good parking spot. 😊 When the eggs were done, I peeled them (so easy!) and put them in the fridge to cool. Time to work on the puzzle for a bit but first, I took Gibbs for a short walk.

Happy Hour at Ken and Kim's
Patty wasn't in attendance.

At 2:15, I returned home and we loaded our chairs and drinks into Black Beauty to go for a Happy Hour at Roadrunner. Ken and Kim were happy for the visit and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to sit in the sun. Finally! They are almost invisible out there with all of the rv’ers that have moved in around them. You never know when you park in a blm, someone else can pull in pretty close. The good thing is that the one large group will be leaving early in the week and they’ll have their peace back.

This low-flying plane was making a few
rv'ers nervous. He was making several
low passes over Roadrunner blm.

We left around 5 and made plans to leave in the morning at 8. Bill and I had planned toasted Westerns for supper so I cut up bacon, red pepper, celery and green onions. It was filling and I was hungry for it. After clean up, Bill made his lunch for tomorrow. I worked on my blog and read some of my next Stephanie Plum story. She’s entertaining. I may watch some tv, and will surely sleep well tonight after all the fresh air. 😊 This has been a nice day.

I'm not keen on this keto bread toasted but
the omelette inside was good!
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
