Started a New One, Busy Coffee Hour!

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Jan. 21st, I'm almost afraid to say it aloud. I felt awesome! I did my stretches and waited after making the bed. Nada, nothing, zilch. Ssssh. 🤫 

Good morning!
At 7 am, this greeted us.

Bill was downstairs in the dark when I came down at 7 and started opening blinds. He catches up on FB and news chatter down here when it is quiet.

Clouds moved in

He left for the field and after making my tea, I sat with Gibbs to play my Wordle games. It was 8:30 when I was washed and properly dressed to go for Gibbs' walk. Brrr, that air felt chilly. It was only 44F/6C under a mostly cloudy sky. 

The puzzle I chose next

I took my prepared coffee cup (I like my own 35% cream) and walked over to Coffee & Conversation at 8:50. Sue had made her yummy cranberry muffins for our snack today. Good thing she made lots as the turnout was the best yet. 16 or 17 of us, I believe. 😃

We had to park in the
'back 40' as Daddy used to say.

It is especially nice to have short-timers come in and join.  Bill was back from the field early, are we all feeling the chill air? Not many fliers and after his 2 flights, he returned home. I was still at the puzzle until just before lunch.

Walking first through the tent
and then Tyson Wells.
Bill is happy with his licorice
purchase.

After we ate, we drove to the Big tent and had a very tough time finding a parking spot. We ended up west of Tyson Wells, in the overflow section. Luckily, close to Keuhn St. as after leaving the tent with yak cheese bones for Gibbs, a pillow for Bill and rv tank 'stuff', we walked through the vendors at Tyson Wells.

I had my ice cream
and it was worth every penny.

Bill got his licorice and I bought an ice cream cone. First that I've had since we got down here! We've been very good not having any the freezer. At home, I went to the puzzle and stayed for an hour or so and Bill took Gibbs for his walk and they had a snooze.

I made good progress.

Supper was leftover chicken casserole with mashed potatoes and peas. We finished the last 4 dinner rolls from the freezer. I'll have to make more and freeze them again, that worked well for us as a treat once in a while instead of eating them all at once!

Ring around the sun.
A weather change is around the corner.
(PS - still no snow though)

We enjoyed the meal and cleaned up the dishes before settling in front of the tv. I found a movie called Home Run and that was my entertainment during my blog writing. 

Supper was good.
Good night!

This was a good day. We didn't get much above 70F/19C if we reached that but it was still very pleasant.

Thank you for stopping by.

  2. Ooooh ice cream!!! I always freeze all my bread and rolls in small zip-lok bags. Otherwise they go stale. Nice puzzle ... I'm sure you will finish it in a day.

    1. I know! Ice Cream is a staple, right? haha
      I'm learning. When I make rolls, they will go in the freezer.
      I think the puzzle will take 2 days. 😉

  3. Glad you and Bill got the treats you wanted, and Gibbs too. :)
    It looks like we'll have a couple of cool'ish days - the polar vortex won't quite reach us though apparently New Mexico is going to feel it.

    1. Thanks Maebeme.
      Yes, cooler days but again, only for a short bit. That Alberta clipper will miss us.

  4. Now that is what I call a great ice cream cone. Polar Vortex has begun here in Saskatchewan. Very cold outside.

    God bless.
