A Few Clouds Made it into the Blog

Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Nov. 30th we both woke up from a good night's sleep. Bill sooner than I but still it is good when you only wake up once through the night. I had my tea and oatmeal around 7:30 and although I could feel a bit of discomfort, Sir Sciatica did not make a full on appearance. Yay!

Good Sunday morning!

We went about our day, expecting it to be fairly busy when I saw Fred out reading electric/hydro meters. It wasn't bad at all. I looked at the puzzle and didn't get into my quilling as Sue needed help with printing and stapling the bills together. A good time passer.


The clouds moved in

For lunch, I decided on a change and just had a couple pieces of my seeded bread toasted with homemade strawberry jam. Not mine but better! Bill was keeping busy outside. We heard from my sister, Gayle, that they were possibly arriving in the Q this afternoon, or at the latest, tomorrow. 

They are the same colour as the
desert so you may not see the quail.
I enjoyed them though with their
disctinctive chatter.

It is nice to see family down here, wish more were able to make a trip and visit but that's a lot to expect. However, Sue has been getting the park model ready for guests. Guests meaning friends or family of the residents only for short term. I think it is a great idea and there is already a booking over Christmas.














The Arco station down the road from us
was crazy busy all day, causing traffic
jams. Their price is the cheapest in town
but not 'that' cheap!

I returned home at 4 and while Bill had a snooze, I took Gibbs for his walk. His choice, I just followed, basically. I was happy to hear, then see the Gamble Quail running across the desert across the road from the park. It's hard to capture them, they are fast and frightened of us.

I kept an eye on this before supper

I knew it would just get better and better

For supper, Bill grilled his cheeseburgers. They were awesome again. We prepared to watch The Road after we ate and cleaned up the few dishes. It has been another good day, quiet enough and not boring. 

Yummy

We reached a pleasant high of 73F/21C but some clouds moved in after lunch. Maybe a pretty sunset? Our temperatures will be dropping off a bit this coming week. I think we'll survive!

I wasn't the only one watching the sky.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!

  1. Everyone going back home ... gas stations everywhere were packed. That's why I always go on a Wednesday! LOL

  2. Much cheaper than here in Yuma. For gasoline the stations are between $3.059 and $3.149 per gallon. Not sure about diesel but I imagine there would be a similar difference. I suppose with a large vehicle it would make sense to wait...I'm too impatient for long line-ups.
    Lovely sky photos! It's pretty out my window this morning, but the darned power lines spoil the picture, at least in my mind.
    Happy December!

    1. We've always enjoyed being close to the Arco here even though we don't use a lot of diesel now that we've settled.

  4. I read your blog last night to see if there was pink before the darker orange/reds and forgot to type in a comment. It did start pretty with the pinks. Good job getting a quail those little birds are quick. At least I was looking up...no double chin...lol I told Tom I bet Patsy took my picture but I did not think fast enough to click one of her standing in the window.

    1. I thought it was funny, both of us running out for the sunset and aftermath! It was too quick a picture to notice your chin but I'm happy to oblige. Usually the ones of me make me shudder!
      The quail blend right in to the desert so I got lucky.

    1. Yes, I do think it is quite a savings here, especially if people are going to CA.

  6. I think that the sunsets in Arizona are almost as beautiful as our living skies here in Saskatchewan. I hate long lineups for gas, much rather pay a few cents extra and be on my way.

    God bless.

    1. I'm sure your sunsets are very comparable in Saskatchewan. Even on the Ridge, we see some pretty ones.
