Shuffleboard, Pool, Lakeside, Happy Hour

 Yuma Lakes RV Resort

On Wednesday, Mar. 19th I woke after another great night's sleep. Once again, I knew that I hadn't turned from my right side since I hit the pillow. After getting the hugs and kisses from Gibbs, I did my stretches in bed and got up. I joined Bill downstairs for breakfast and we readied ourselves for our 9:15 sign up for shuffleboard. Wow! There's a memory from our 2018/19 winter. The last time we played was at Pilot Knob RV Resort with our dear friends, Rob and Pat. 💖

Good morning!

We've had a visitor every day since we arrived.
Bill hung my feeder out on Monday.
This little hummer sits and drinks
for a long time.

So, there were 10 players again, which was a better turn out than George and Judy expected. It's like I had never played before as I didn't do very well. We did have fun though and I think my job was easier than George's by keeping score for everyone! 😊 We parted ways when Bill and Ken walked back home, Ken being the top winner of the day. I stayed and worked on the puzzle until noon.

Ken gives it his best shot
and came out the winner.

The scoreboard for my first game
is on the right. I was yellow.

After lunch, Bill and Gibbs snoozed so at 1:30, I walked to the pool. Another good time to go as I was alone again. I didn't use the hot tub, just spent some quiet time in the water and on the sidelines. 

I guess it could be done tomorrow.

The clubhouse is nice with books, puzzles and games
in one room.
3 or 4 poker tables
and 2 pool tables
in the next room

Before walking back at 3, I meandered down by the lake here. There were some chairs along the shore so I sat and watched a few ducks swim by and walk up around where I was sitting. I'm not up on my duck varieties so only recognized the Mallard and maybe a Bufflehead.

These guys came right up past my chair
The Bufflehead couldn't figure me out.

These pictures turned out better 
than I'd hoped.
It's very pretty down there by the water.

Back at camp, I took Gibbs for a walk up towards the dog park. There were 3 big dogs and 3 small dogs inside playing but Gibbs didn't seem too interested in joining so we carried on. Ken was on his way back from getting a fix on his car so we had Happy Hour at our site, moving from shade to sun before packing it in for the night. For supper I baked chicken thighs, boiled some potatoes and mixed up a salad (by opening a bag). 

Walking back to our site.

It was late by the time we were done cleaning up but on time to watch an NCIS rerun before The Floor came on at 7. Survivor was on next and we watched it while I worked on the blog. Today, was a great day. We had some winds, I believe the last day for a while of that, but we had clear skies and hot sun from 9 to 7. I'm enjoying being able to sit out and soak up some of it here. We reached 77F/25C today and that will be the coolest day in the next 14 days at least. 😁

A Sunday meal on a Wednesday. 😀
Good night!

Thank you for stopping around.
