A Pretty Lazy Do-Nothing Day

Yuma Lakes RV Resort

On Thursday, Oct. 30th we all slept in until 6:30, so it was light out when Bill took Gibbs out for his first nature walk. Usually, he needs a flashlight to find his 'droppings'. So the day began.

Other than Bill going into town, first to the Maverick fuel/weighing station to check out how to enter and second, after lunch, to get some tubing at Southwest Exchange to fix the fridge water line that got snipped during our last tire blow-out.

Good morning.
How's this little cutie for a wake up?

What did Gibbs and I do? I showered, clipped and painted my finger and toe nails, took Gibbs for a hot walk up to the shaded grassy area and sat listening to a recording of a Medium reading that my sisters and I had at LadyFest in 2016. That was cool!

Then there is the young man who
made Jess a hockey Mom.
Handsome Easton.

Reliving that again, I found quite interesting to hear of a few things that played a part in what is going on today with some siblings. Interesting that I was told I was 'business' material and have qualities for controlling people and things in a quiet methodical way. Fun stuff! I passed the video on to my sisters so they can hear it all again too. 😀

I debated going to the pool, for one last time, but really just felt like chillin' here with my boys. We tried to set up a couple of visits but because we only have one day available, it didn't work out. We'll see our friends in Quartzsite at some point. 

For supper, burgers done inside. We didn't feel the need to get the Weber Q out and they turned out quite good the last time. Bill brought the weather station in this afternoon and dumped tanks, including our fresh water except for a few gallons.

The sun is going down

Tomorrow morning, the plan is to run across the scales to satisfy curiosities, get new tires and head northbound. The burgers were messy, done inside, but still tasty. I won't have to fry them this way again for at least 5 months! It just made sense tonight.

The burgers were very good

After cleaning up the pans, I watched Matlock and Elspeth. I missed 9-1-1's conclusion but can catch it another night and I'll hope to not be disappointed. 😂 I didn't get out much and when I did, it was without my phone, so pictures are at a minimum.

It was a hot day, surprise surprise, but at 6:30, it had dropped off about 10 degrees and from 95F/32C to 61F/16C overnight. That will be nice!

Last year on this date,
we were sitting at Pilot Knob RV Resort.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit! Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

  2. Oh, those two kids are so darned cute! I love the set-up the school had for the photo shoot.
    Wishing you a speedy turn around with the tires, and safe travels to Quartzite. I drove past it on the way in and was amazed by the number of RV's that could be seen from the highway. I'm sure it gets much busier.

    1. Thank you, yes they are so cute. I thought the same abouit the photo shoot too.
      You have seen Quartzsite at a time when it has only a few rv's really, it gets crazy out there in the desert, especially in December to February.
