Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Dec. 2nd when I saw the light of day (so to speak), it was 5:45. I know I'd slept right through and there were dreams still lingering in my head. I was out of bed just after 6:30 causing Bill" to ask you are getting up?"

Good morning!

It is laundry day so we sorted clothes, Bill hopped in the shower and then we walked over to start the machines. One of the guests, a younger man whom I've quite grown to like, (he reminds me of my son, Patrick) was already loading 2 machines so we took the 3rd.

while I brush him.
See Mom, I can walk with one sock on!

It meant the whole process took longer than usual as we needed 2 loads as well. Bill left for the flying field and when I switched machines I stayed and worked on the puzzle until the loads were finished. It was around 9:30 when I chatted with Sue in the office and returned home to Gibbs.

on board with dog poop.
Two signs on the fence into the
dog park, will it work?

I continued on with card making, getting quite a few done. I did locate the 'hiding' spot where I had put the purchased Christmas cards from last year. We didn't send any out because of the strike, so had lots. Bill was home at 11:30 and we had lunch together.

At 1 pm, he worked on his planes and I walked over to play Pokeno. Deb joined us, as did our new guest, Anne Marie and Bj. We had fun, just the 4 of us. Sue was too busy with office work so couldn't play but at least now I know we have 2 new players for as long as they are willing. I didn't win today, but there's always next week!

Pina Coladas please!

When I returned home, Ken and Kim pulled up and Tom and Deb joined us for a brief Happy Hour under the shelter. We met Gayle and John at Silly Al's a few minutes after 4 and got seated at a nice bright table. I like to see my food clearly and it was the perfect table.

My meat lovers pizza

We were not disappointed, never are, with our pizzas. Bill had his Hawaiian and I had my meat lovers and we each had a pina colada. Oh yum. We didn't realize until we got the bill that we were there over their 'happy hour' entitling us all to $1 off our drinks. 🍹

The gang's all here!
It was nice to meet up with my 
sister and her hubby before
they moved on to Mexico.

With plans to meet up again, individually or in a group, we said our goodbyes. Ken drove Bill and I home and they headed out to Roadrunner where they were camped with Gayle and John. 

Before leaving Silly Al's,
this was the sky to the west.

Before I went inside at home,
this was the sky.

The day was great from beginning to end. We made it to 69F/18C but it felt cool unless you were in the sun.

To the east, the moon was
also performing.
Good night.

Thank you for your visit today.

  3. It was fun joining the ladies to play Pokeno. It would have been more fun if I wouldn't have lost most of my pennies...lol We enjoyed the outing to Silly Al's, also. Spending time with friends is always special and adding good food is a plus. We had not seen you sister, Gayle, and her husband, John, in several years so that was a nice bonus.

    1. I'm so glad you played Pokeno with us. You see why I enjoy it every Tuesday. 🤭
      Pizza with friends ( and family) was a bonus for me too. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit with Gayle, I'm sure she feels the same!

  4. That pizza looks fantastic! Always nice to get together for a meal with family and friends.
    I was out for lunch yesterday, with two of the gals from the park. We did a little thrift store shopping, then went to the Black Bear Diner. Great food, huge portions!
    It's funny, I get ribbed at Happy Hour as I'm still in t-shirts and shorts/capris, and others are wearing light jackets or sweaters. I haven't found it cool yet, perhaps my blood hasn't thinned enough yet? Or I'm in training for the really cold weather back at home. :)

    1. If you get a chance, Silly Al's is the BEST, we all agree. Sounds like a great day for you. Bill and I love Black Bear Diner as well, been to the one in Bullhead City but ot for a few years. Glad you enjoyed it.
      We used to get teased about our shorts and tees. I have been wearing long pants first thing but capris or shorts by afternoon. Today, Wednesday, was a bit cool in my capris with the wind.

  5. I remember that 🍕 👍 it was fabulous.
    Your sunset photos are stunning Pat.
    What an awesome feeling you must experience when being under such vast space of sky. I think it would take my breath away.
