Things are Slowing Down

 Park Place RV Park

On Sunday, Jan. 18th our day started at 7. I had a good sleep, with dreams but still a good one. I think someone famous was in one but I don't remember who she was now. 🤔

Good morning!

I joined Bill in sorting dirty laundry and by 7:30 we had 2 machines loaded. This is the first time we had all of our orange towels out with the new mat in the bathroom. That is why I took a picture. We are very happy with our Christmas gifts to ourselves. 

Our bathroom is decked
out in orange this week.

When I walked over to switch machines, I took my tray and the quilled leaves I made yesterday. I had an hour to work on the wall picture before the office opened. I like the peace and quiet. With the clothes dried and folded, I continued to place leaves on the metal.

This is the wall picture I've been working
on. It is metal and all gray in colour.
I've  been adding colour.
I think it turned out quite nice.

It was looking great but I needed to take a picture so I knew what was needed to finish it. I returned home, put my clothes away, took Gibbs for his walk around the little block and went back with the paper strips to get it done. It was shortly after 11:30 when I had it done. I love it and I think Sue will too.

Mid morning, a pretty sky

Bill and I had lunch together and just relaxed for the afternoon. There was a football game on in the clubhouse (not my thing) and a ukelele jam (also not my thing) so I didn't even think about starting a puzzle. 

Bill was the man this afternoon.
It was a quiet time.

Angie and Leesa felt the need to find a puzzle for me........weird.....but I may switch it out tomorrow or Tuesday before starting it. Since I did it in 2023, and with my memory, what's old could be new? Although, I do like choosing my next challenge.🤭

Supper was very good.
Erma's tip on the rice?
Rinse it well first, then cook it like pasta.
Drain, add butter and let sit.
Awesome!

Bill was home for lunch and after it was done, we relaxed together. Gibbs slept in the chair, Bill was doing some reading for the club and I started my blog and began thinking about my next creation for Robin. I made my tea and sat under the gazebo. 

Around supper time, the east
sky.

My sciatica has been rearing its ugly head over the last few days, yes, I'm taking Magnesium 500 mg, so Bill obliged by taking Gibbs for his walk when I'm feeling it. For supper, we had chicken thighs air fried by Rosy, steamed asparagus, mixed vegetables and rice cooked Erma's way! Delicious!

It was very filling and after washing the pots, we watched Episode 4 of Beast Games. This was a great day, mostly relaxing and our laundry got done in the process. We hung around the same temperature as yesterday, 75F/22C, which was perfect.

And after sunset........
no words but, well, 
Quartzsite, Az
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by.
