A Perfect Day! Taking it Easy, Appreciative Neighbours

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Feb. 6^th I was up at the same time, 6:45. Creature of habit, I am, I am. 😊 I decided to get out there for a walk; the weather was favourable at 49F/10C so I didn’t have to layer up much. I wasn’t going to do the full big block and cut off at the Maintenance buildings which takes me across to Coyote Rd and back home. That was enough, my leg was telling me so.

Good morning!
Since the morning sky wasn't anything special,
other than clear blue, this is my
special first picture.

And this one, as we relaxed on the patio
together.

Back home, Bill was almost ready to leave for the field but Gibbs had other plans.  I spent the morning with Gibbs, outside on the patio. He was happy in the shade, either in or under my gravity chair or in his bed with his blankie. He was very good, mainly because he had his collar on but I never had to vibrate it more than once. Good boy! Jess popped in for a quick visit and he never uttered a sound, just enjoyed her affection. ♥

We were in one of our favourite places.
Me mostly in the sun, Gibbs in the shade in his bed.

Bill was home at noon; after having flown he went to Jim’s Hangar. There is a plane he is working on over there. We had lunch, planned supper and he contacted Sirius XM for our next year’s renewal. Of course, they bent over backwards to make us happy. While he dozed, I left my boys to go start a new puzzle. This one should be easy, with big pieces. We’ll see. I knew Bill was headed back to Jim’s.

A donation to the clubhouse
and I had to choose it next.

At 4, I returned home and since Bill wasn’t home yet, I took Gibbs out for his walk. With his fur coat, which will be removed on Feb. 16^th, he isn’t as keen on going far on these hot days. It’s funny watching him sidle to shady patches as we walk. I brought him back and headed out myself for a bit of a walk. I was feeling great so did the mid-block walk. I met Bill on my way and he suggested I be careful. ♥

This is how far I got this afternoon.
Yup, kind of easy.
One border piece missing............Jess will find it for me. ♥

When I was just about home, I noticed Sue, Walter from next door, and Bette headed across the street, pointing. Something was up and I soon found out that while Angie & Rusty were away, (the hosts behind us), their little dog Lisa got out and took off across the street into the open desert field. Fred was also looking with their other bigger dog on a leash, so I joined forces.

The walk around Arizona Sun
Look at those flags.
The winds really picked up after lunch but it
still felt great.

We spread out in the event she would come close enough to one of us but she was on a mission and had no intention of doing that. I’m sure she was looking for her parents. ☹ The least we could do was keep her in sight in the hopes she’d head for home. Thankfully, Rusty and Angie returned and she ran to him as he drove up on their side by side. There was much excitement and between us, Sue and I handed the rambunctious Rainy over to his mama. Whoa! That dog is strong!

The sun was beating down, 
here are you Lisa?

I’m sure that the troops would band again if Gibbs should happen to get out on us, we all care about each other’s pets. I’m glad it ended well. Gibbs like the chase game so if you called him and ran away, he would follow – IF he didn’t come to you for licks and pets in the first place. 😊 I hope I don’t pay for that extra long jaunt.

It felt good to get out and stretch my legs
after sitting most of the morning.

Bill and I sat outside with the little mutt on the patio until 5:30 when Bill left for night flying. The winds are pretty strong for flying but it is always worth going for him, just in case they drop quickly. He has a plane outfitted with lights for the purpose, I believe (if I got it right) it is his Radien. He’ll correct me, if I’m wrong. I can’t keep them straight.

Rusty brought me over this to thank me
for helping find Lisa.
Totally not necessary but he loves her just
as we love Gibbs so I understand.
My own flask!

I made myself a cup of tea after he left to tie me over to supper. After Bill got home, we had tacos. It’s about the only Mexican food Bill enjoys, other than their rice. That’s okay, once in a while works for me too, although I could eat them more often! I’ll be watching Matlock and Elspeth tonight if the timing is right. To watch them live, we have to remember to catch them 2 hours earlier than home time.

And the sunset was very pretty.

I finished my book this afternoon and Full Speed by J.E. was certainly worth a read. I enjoyed it very much and returned it to the library in the clubhouse. This has been a really nice day. We reached a lovely high of 78F/26C today and only dropping to 56F/13 overnight. 

Even though there is discomfort in one way or another, in this case my achy leg, there is a bright side in each and every day. I found mine and I hope you found yours.

Messy but delicious, seems to be
the theme for a lot of my meals.
Good night!

Thank you for the visit.
