Moving On with Things, Hot Time in Quartzsite

 Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Feb. 23rd it was 7:15 when I woke enough to look at the clock. Whoa! It's laundry day and we usually like to be at the clubhouse by 7, to beat the rush. Haha, there is never a rush Sunday morning. 🀣

Good morning!

I should've just slowed down and did a few  but instead got up quickly and helped sort the clothes.  Bill carried the basket, as usual, and I followed very, very slowly behind. With 2 loads in the machines, I accepted his hand for the walk back home. Lol Yes, feeling quite incapable, but also feeling loved. πŸ’•

My Buddy, Pat, sent this to me this morning. 
Priceless.
Ps, she is getting along as well as
can be expected. πŸ˜”

Inside, I then did my blocking and stretches with  coming to assist- eventually. After Bill left I finished my tea, walked over to switch the loads and felt some improvement. I have some videos to watch for proper blocking techniques so went through a couple of the beginning ones before going back 45 minutes later to bring the folded clothes home. 

While I did my blocking in the bedroom floor, Gibbs was also watching the video.

Gibbs needed his walk so off we went. It was a good one.  Finally, I washed, brushed my teeth and dressed for the day. It was already 10:30. I had a plan to bake something today so did that rather than go to the puzzle. It was already warming up, with a hot high forecasted. πŸ˜†

The quail were running today!

Bill was home by 11:30 after checking on me earlier. ❤️ We had lunch at 12:30 and I went to the puzzle soon after. It was a pleasant surprise to have Jess offer to join me.  Of course! I knew she would enjoy this one, so we worked away while chatting until it was finished. ☺️ 

I will miss seeing her once they leave on March 1st. I enjoy her personality and company a lot, and will miss our games and classes together. It is reason enough for us to look forward to a return here in the fall. 

The puzzle is done!
Thank you Jess!

Back home, I didn't even attempt to take Gibbs out today for his walk but instead sat outside in the shade with him and Bill.  It is already 85F/27C at 3:30. Wonderful!! He would not go far in this heat but did enjoy the coolness of his bed and our patio mat. 

At 5:30, I finished a chapter in my book so came in to start supper. Chicken thighs in Rosy, vegetables and rice on the stove. I'm using the convection oven for the baking I prepared earlier today. A bit of dessert, perhaps?

Supper always takes longer when it is chicken, these thighs are quite meaty, but worth the wait. We are both experiencing the same feeling though. Finding were not very hungry at mealtime. Strange but it happens occasionally and we know we have to eat. 😁

Turned out pretty good. 

We cleaned up the pots, ran the dishwasher and had a bit of fresh baked dessert. Not sure what I'll watch tonight so may just read. 

Before I forget KennyD, I would like to watch Landman, very much but we do not have Paramount +. At home, we will decide if it will be worth the cost of buying the app. Thank you. Idon't think you read my responses to your comments. πŸ€”

As for my laptop, it turned on again this morning but wouldn't budge so I think it is toast. I will get it checked back home and make a decision then. (I have kicked murderous numerous times). it is challenging in my phone but not terrible. 

This has been a great day. We chatted with Marilynne, my mil, and then Keith, our good friend from back home,  over the dinner hour. Good to hear from both. 

I needed another picture so this is from a morning shot this week. 
Good night everyone!

Thank you for your visit too!

  1. Don't feel bad ... I did the same thing about three years ago with my computer. Now I keep liquids far far away. It's fixable, but they had to erase everything. Luckily I had backed it up and was able to save my pictures. Unfortunately it cost a chunk. Probably cheaper nowadays to just buy a new one. It's sad when everyone leaves. I miss you all.

    1. Oh no! I haven't been diligent in backing up my photos! That means other than what I have in my blogs, I've likely lost them all. πŸ˜ͺ

  2. I'm really glad that you invited us to sit last Christmas with you guys and then we reconnected this year. It's really made my season an enjoyable one and also makes me look forward to next season. It's great when you live on the road to find those sweet relationships you can keep returning to.

    1. Me too!! ❤️❤️
      My season had also improved with your friendship. I've been loving the time together. Who would ever think we could make such connections on the road!!

  3. Oh, I'm sorry you're continuing to have issues with your leg/back. Nice of Bill to give you a hand.
    Arrghh, I can imagine your frustration over the laptop. My next door neighbour picked up an HP laptop with 64GB memory (great for lots of photos) for $199US at Best Buy last week.
    Yesterday was a scorcher! I was happy to have a/c in the unit in the evening. :)

  5. I think I did read your original response, but Landman is SO good that I had to give you a reminder. When I saw that it had Billy Bob in it, I signed up for a month with Paramount so we could watch it. It was so good that we stayed with Paramount for another month so we could watch it all again. Paramount is now gone, but may have to sign up with Max for a month to watch the second season of 1924, the prequel to Yellowstone. Couldn't get into Yellowstone, just didn't like most of the characters, but 1924 is great watching.

    1. Yes, 1924 send to be the preferred. I love Kevin but the swearing in the few episodes of Yellowstone that i did watch was too much. Plus I couldn't stand the daughter!!
      I do thank you for the reminder!

  6. You'll be pleased to know that the colossal snowbanks up here in the north woods have finally started to melt!

  7. Sun and much milder temperatures here in Saskatchewan. It is melting so the snow is slowly going away especially on the streets.
    Sorry about the pain you are still having. Once home you need to get that looked at. Glad that Bill was there to give you a hand, and that Gibbs watched the videos with you.

    God bless.

    1. Thank you, if things are not improved when I get home, I will see the doctor.
      Gibbs didn't do the exercises though!
