An Shopping Day and Fun Evening

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Jan. 29th, the end of the month is just around the next bend. Are you ready for the shortest month of the year? I hope so as it is coming regardless. We slept in 'big time' (for us) this morning. It was 6:38 when Gibbs woke Bill up.

Good morning!
My first picture was
taken late morning
on our way to Parker.

It was 7:25 when I woke up the second time. Bill was quiet downstairs, in the dark so I was wondering if he'd slipped out. Nope, just resting quietly. 😊 He left for the field and I played games and then hopped in the shower. 

Usually, it's the views that I enjoy
most about this drive.
Today, it was the traffic.
I think Jim might agree,
these are for him.

At 9:30, Gibbs and I went for our walk. It had warmed up by then, from 44F/6C to 53F/10C, so a light jacket was all I needed. I walked over to the clubhouse to say hello to Sue and start a puzzle around 10:30. No sooner had I opened the box and Bill messaged that he was on his way home.

There were 10 beautiful 
Corvettes that passed us.
We think on the way to
Lake Havasu City.

The plan was to go to Walmart for our groceries since yesterday was Gov't pension payday. We did really good this month for spending, because of an early big expenditure on the tank valve replacements. It all worked out. 😉

7 of them were able to pass us,
but Bill pulled over for the last
3 to get by and catch up.
He received toots and waves.

Parker's trip was an expensive one but we expected the grocery bill to be a good one. We are good now for the staples for 2 or 3 weeks. It was 12:30 so we did a rare thing and stopped at Early Bird Cafe for lunch. It was not busy, quite reasonable and one of the best quesadillas I've ever had!

I tried to get them all in the
line but a Dodge got in the middle
and messed it up!

I bought stamps and Bill picked up a couple of items at Ace Hdwe there before returning home. We decided to eat 'big' since it is Thursday and both of us are out tonight and would not have time for a regular meal together. 

Coincidentally, these were
at a car lot for sale as we entered
Parker.

Back home, I found a place for everything and went to start the puzzle. Nice to see someone had done the  border for us! Assuming it was Renee, I thanked her but it was not. Hmm, now I am 'puzzled' but still pleased. 

We stopped for lunch
at the Early Bird Cafe.
A nice quiet family style place.

One of the best I've had!
Stuffed with chicken and veggies.

Renee was doing laundry so the two of us dug in and made great progress putting in pieces. I can no longer take credit for doing the puzzles myself but I enjoy her company very much. She makes me smile, she is so polite. 😌 

The winds in the desert were
hiding my view of the mountains.

I returned home at 4:30 and Bill was just having a snooze. I emptied the dishwasher and with a cup of tea beside me, I started my blog while he slept. He left at 5:30 for night flying and at 6, I walked over to the clubhouse for Games Night.

Walking over at 6 for Yahtzee.

This has been a nice day. I'm slipping by not getting out on Lila so will make a point tomorrow to take her for a spin. She's waiting. 🚲 We reached a lovely 73F/21C today with full sun and that made the day feel much warmer than yesterday.

Renee has a birthday around the corner.
We all signed my bird card and gave her
a banana date loaf.

And the game was underway.
I actually won one tonight for
a change. 😊
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!
