Coffee Hour, Friends Leave, Quilling Class

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Feb. 5th, I was up at 6:45 and out the door by 7:05. Yes, I decided on my walk today. I’d done my stretches and felt pretty good. Such a lovely morning too, 51F/10C, and I was home before the sun rose. My right leg was tired and starting to ache but by the time I’d made my tea, all was well. Strangest thing. Gibbs and I went for his walk soon after and then I popped in next door to say goodbye to Patty.

Good morning!


Bill and Duncan went flying this morning but in separate vehicles. Bill was staying longer so he and Tommy could begin installing the new flag poles. šŸ˜Š Duncan would fly and then get home to finish packing up. I went to the Coffee Hour for about 30 minutes, oh that cake was so good! There were 12 of us in attendance this morning. Our neighbours/friends pulled before 11. And then Jess and Jesse picked me up for my quilling class.

The indecision returns

He's thinking about shade, I know it.

There is some over there so that is where
he is headed.

Jess had 8 participants, including her husband, Jesse. He’d not taken a class before, at least to my knowledge, so withstood a bit of teasing from the other ladies about being the ‘teacher’s pet’. He took it like a champ! Today we made Valentine cards, so I’m not showing a picture of mine. Quite a few of us left with an incomplete creation, we ran out of time, but came home with a few tools to finish the job. I’m all set up with what I’ve bought so I was pleased that I’d done that over the last few weeks.

The horseshoe pits are ready

The day is warming up nicely. Bill and I had lunch and he went over to Jim’s Hangar. More airplane business. Gibbs and I sat outside for a while, on the shaded patio and then went for his walk. I noticed the horseshoe pit is now complete and Michael (Bette’s son) and another man were already playing. Good job, Michael! Maybe I’ll toss one before we leave. šŸ˜Š













These were our options
today or a combination of both
or whatever we wanted.
Jess showed us the techniques of each card
and left us to it.

I started cooking turkey pot pies for supper, we’ve picked up a few from our last Walmart shop. We enjoy them with a vegetable on the side. It was a good meal. After the little bit of clean up, we watched a movie together called Return to Me with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny. We like her personality.

Sitting outside waiting for Daddy

We reached our high today of 81F/27C with clear blue, sunny skies. The wind remained under 5 mph the whole day and we loved every minute of it. This was a great day.

A delicious meal.
Good night.

Thank you for popping in.

  1. Hi Patsy: that quilling hobby is kind of neat & end up with something unique that you personally made.Thinking about the leg pain &fatique ,I just recently encountered the same & found that osteoporosis had developed, not severe requiring replacement thank goodness but still aggravating.FYI-The Doctor[sports] prescribed a+cortisone injection in the hip which has made a real difference.Great to see the weather cooperating, enjoy the warm & all the best.

    1. Thank you A James. I am really enjoying the quilling. It is an inexpensive hobby, something that doesn't take a lot of space (to store things) and a switch off from some of my other (easy) hobbies.
      A cortisone injection scares the beejeesus out of me but it it came to that for relief, I would succumb. :) Thank you for the info.

  3. Sounds like a good day was had by all. Gibbs on the top step waiting for Dad is so fun, good thing there is no one inside the RV. He might go for a tumble.

    1. Gibbs like the step view, kind of like at home on our stoop (or the picnic table).
      We are very careful opening the door, giving him time to move down. ♥

  4. Both cards are beautiful. I slightly favor the first one.

    1. Me too! I thought I would go with that style and then ended up mixing both together. After Valentines, you'll see my creation. :)

  5. I think I would have a hard time choosing between which card to make. A combination sounds lovely. Gibbs on the lookout is so darn cute.

    God bless.
