Enjoying What we Have (weather included)

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Nov. 28th I knew I'd had another good sleep when I woke up at 5:30. It was 10:30 when I went up to bed last night and dropped off quickly. Bill and Gibbs were already in bed and pretty much asleep. Only Gibbs moved positions, up between us.

Good morning!

I stayed in bed, dropping off again until 7:10. After my stretches and getting up to make the bed, I knew my sciatica was still 'hanging around'. Drat! Instead of pushing myself for the short walk around the park with the ladies, I made myself a tea and went up to do some blocking. That worked.

2 for the freezer

Waldorf Salad
I will definitely make this again.

Bill left for the field and is quite happy that Ken is now going.,I'm sure they are enjoying themselves. I stayed in my lazy, lounging clothes and instead of thinking about the puzzle in the clubhouse, I worked on my greeting cards. Gibbs and I got out for a walk to the corner and beyond into the desert. 

A walk to the desert today.

Last night, I watched NO tv, working away at the table. I'm having fun with these! I managed to have 4 finished, quite quickly by the time Bill got home at 11:30. He set his plane battery to charge and came in for lunch. Lunch, as you've probably learned, is not a big deal around here.

Riding out to Roadrunner

When we finished our sandwiches, yum, (melted cheddar w/cucumber), we drove to the post office to mail a parcel to Canada. I wonder what it is? 😉 Bill came home from flying this morning and told me that Ken invited us to Happy Hour at Roadrunner BLM at any time.......so we decided today was the day.

Gibbs was very good at Happy Hour
off leash.

Cheers!

It is only fair that we do the drive once in a while. We left the park at 2:30 with our cooler and drinks and arrived about 15 minutes later. They are in a familiar spot, a spot that Tom and Deb just recently left. Once you find a good one, you try and nab it each time!

A drop in at Happy Hour

Tom and Deb were out on a ride in their Jeep so popped in briefly for visit before heading home. We didn't stay much later and when we left around 5, the sun was on the verge of setting behind the mountains. It is pretty out there. 

The shadows were getting long.
So was someone's tongue.

I captured a picture on the way back on I-95, but I'm surprised the Indian is still sleeping! For supper, we had cod and Bill had fries. I had butter-fried root vegetables (parsnips, carrots, beets and turnip) and oh my, they were delicious. We cleaned up the pans and watched a movie together.

As we were leaving, I tried to get the
sun setting.

I miss the Saguaros so coming
out here satifies that for me.

This was a great day. 74F/21C and full sun. Gibbs went with us to Happy Hour and although he whined the whole way there, he was off leash and the best little guy. He found shade, of course, but seemed quite happy. 💗

Supper was very good.
Good night!

Thank you for popping in today!

    1. I have to admit that I didn't cook them myself.......not really. I found them at Walmart in the frozen vegetables section., They were surprisingly good. I just 'cooked' them in the microwave and the second day fried them in butter.

  3. Another good day in the warmth and sunshine of Arizona. That's what we're here for, isn't it?
