Bill's RC Expo, Quiet Day in the Park

Stony Ridge KOA, Toledo East

On Friday, Apr. 4th when I woke up, it was after 6:30. I hadn't heard a peep before that which was no surprise. I was in bed at 10 and dropped off really quickly. I woke at 11:30 when I heard Bill coming to bed and listened to him as he found sleep. Huh! I was awake then until after 1, tossing and turning. Geesh, I hate that! As I moved, Gibbs moved as well and made sure he was touching me after each turn. 💘

Good morning.
Top picture was from last night out our
back window.

Bill had a date this morning, our reason for coming here, and was busy getting ready. He left the Suite and the park around 7:30. Today and tomorrow is the RC Expo in Toledo and he was keen to go this morning for a couple of hours and see what he could, and pick up anything he needed. Gibbs and I enjoyed our time home. 

Gibbs and I went for our walk
this morning.
Starting out nice and sunny.
That's us with the arrow.

I showered and then we walked around the park. It was chilly enough, 44F/6C, but I was prepared and wore the outer layers that I started out wearing in Quartzsite in the fall. 🙄

Here is today's Spring picture

Back at home, I decided to pull out my paper quilling materials and pass the time in that manner. I had a plan of what I wanted to make and set about doing that. No divulging though, it's a secret. 

Top: I like the raised tent sites
Some pretty wet spots with more
rain on the way.

A lot of campers have left today
but more came in this afternoon.

Bill was home for lunch and after pancakes, we put together our claim lists for border crossing and discussed what we're going to do. Go home early or stay until the cold snap has passed? We'll figure it out and you'll know when we know! 

Yummy, I didn't bother making the
keto pancakes for me but we did
finish a bottle of maple syrup.

We missed Survivor latest episode on Wednesday so we sat and caught up on that. Darn! Not our choice of person was sent home but maybe next time. Our hearts are always in our throats, nervous as if we were there! Good grief, that is hilarious! 

You may not know what this is
but Gibbs knew it needed to be chased.
It's a stray kitty cat, it seems.
Friendly little fluff ball.

For supper, I cooked 2 pork chops, the last of our potatoes which are turning, and a vegetable for each of us. It was a good meal, didn't take long and we were cleaned up by 6:30. 

Bill called me outside while supper
was cooking.
Of course, it was plane related! 😁

Today reached 51F/11C and was overcast from mid morning to day's end. Rain was/is in the forecast but other than a few spits at 5:30, it hasn't reached us yet. Overnight and tomorrow will be wet, methinks. 😏 Tomorrow we will pull up stakes here and move on. It has been a pretty good day and we are ready. 

Prayers go out to those back home who are still experiencing power outages, this is day 6, and as well to our American friends (even those we haven't met yet) with what they are enduring with tornado and storm damages. We all have weather troubles at different times in different forms. Be safe!

supper was good.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by today.
