Mr. Fix-it, Heat and Pool

Yuma Lakes RV Resort

On Tuesday, Oct. 28th it was just before 7 when I got up. I woke up earlier but tried to push things to the back of my mind and go back to sleep. I guess it worked because that was 5:30. 

I didn't start off today feeling this good,
missing my phone, 
but before noon, I had this grin again.

Now that the tire situation was 'kind of' settled, we still had to figure out if we can stay here longer, yadayadayada, my phone issue was bumming me out. So! We had breakfast early, as while I was getting up, Bill had already found a phone repair place called 'Ubreakifix'. 

This man walks these 4 dogs
past our place.
Quite impressive since he does not
seem to be able to walk well himself.
💗

We left Gibbs in the cool Suite and arrived just as they opened their doors at 10. Leo, the young receptionist, explained what they would do, charged a nominal fee and we left her the phone for an hour and a half. Okay, Hobby Lobby here we come!

Leo and Michael helped us
out and offered some suggestions.

I have no interest right now in Ross or Marshall's. I don't need the temptation and I don't need any clothes. No kidding, right? So, Bill and I walked in separate directions. I did spend some of my money, it's hard not to with all of their deals, and came out with more quilling frames.

Their Christmas stuff is ALL 50% off right now and I thought 'it's a good thing we don't have a sticks and bricks home'........such great choices! We picked up my phone, learned a few tricks that our generation would have had to be told, and headed home at noon.

A healthy lunch with my
favourite keto bread.
The last of my garden tomatoes.

We had lunch and had to make a few changes regarding the tire installation time, but all for the better. Details to follow. It's another hot day, story of the week. Now that things are settled, we have a couple of things we plan to do while here.

As for today, I slipped into my swim suit and went to see what the pool area is like. It was 2 o'clock and not a soul was taking advantage. I thought it might be too hot to sit in the sun so put my towel on a shaded chair and took a pool noodle into the water.

I had the pool all to myself.
Perfect!
Lots of jet action going over the park
so I'm enjoying that rumble.

It felt cool but it was actually beautiful. I was in and out a couple of times, for about 15 minutes each and moved my towel to a sunny chair instead. You wouldn't think I'd get goosebumps coming out of the pool, would you? It felt great and I wore my ball cap in the pool and out.

At Yuma Palms mall, I spotted
this donut tree, reminding me of
Durham.

When I came back to the Suite, it was nice and cool indoors and my boys were watching a movie. I'm not into Christmas movies, as you know, so I popped ear plugs in and read my book at the table. It's warm upstairs in the bedroom so that didn't interest me. 😉

Bill hopped in Black Beauty and took our 2 empty water jugs up for filling at the kiosk in the park. $1 each, perfect. For supper, we had fish and chips, something easy to cook inside. As always, it tasted great and I splurged on fries too. 

Supper was good.

We cleaned up the dishes and watched the latest episodes of NCIS, NCIS Origins, NCIS Sydney. I've missed them. This has been a successful day. My phone is fixed, we're back on schedule, have plans for the remainder of the week and I made it to the pool!

A memory from Oct. 28, 2022
at Davis Camp Park near Nevada along
the Colorado River.

Congratulations to our good friends and neighbours, Grandma Dot and Grandpa Gord, for the arrival of their new grandson, Brecken. He's a real cutie! 💖🍼👶

This was from the same day.
Look how calm he is.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.
