Chillin' with Patsy: A Calmer Day in the Neighbourhood, Visitors

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Mar. 13th Bill and Gibbs were up at their usual 6 o'clock. I had already been awake at 4:50 (!) for some reason and pulled the duvet up over my lower body. Silly, true, but I felt a bit cool with my window open. I know I slept well, dreaming again.

Good morning!

Bill was in the shower, having his breakfast by the time I came downstairs around 7:15. Gibbs was into the usual performance too, delving under the covers and waiting until Mom laughed. Yes, he felt he needed to wake me up. Age means nothing to him either, he loves to play.

After Bill left, I had my tea and we went for our walk around the outer block. It was already quite warm so we had closed windows and turned the a/c to come on around 72F/20C. With no obligations to go anywhere or make anything, I made a coffee around 10 and walked to the obnoxious puzzle.

A little bit more finished down the right
hand side.

This may be one of 3 that I will have started and not finished. Some people have more faith in me than I do when it comes to Van Gogh....well, I may be beaten. In an hour and a half I only put in about 5 pieces and left before noon frustrated. There is still tomorrow......we'll see.

We had lunch together and I helped Bill pour 1/2 of a 4.5 gal container of peanut oil (Bill got it at Sams Club) into individual containers. We were splitting it this summer with our friends so we can all enjoy deep frying at its best. Better than EVOO. 😉

Our company, Lori and Roland, arrived just before 1 on their Indian bikes and we enjoyed a nice catchup visit. It was hot sitting outside under the canopy but comfortable in the shade. Gibbs had to take turns sitting on our friends, he knows them.

Thank you Bill for taking the picture
for me.
Gibbs poses as well.

Bill then went to Jim's for a while and Gibbs and I relaxed again in the cool of the Suite. We reached a high of 92F/30C today so indoors was the place to be, if possible. Supper was ribs and spuds done in Madame IP with a vegetable of sorts.

Gibbs likes to get as much
attention from his friends as
possible.
I wonder if he remembers them
as Schatzi's mom and dad?

On their way back to
Holtville Hot Springs LTVA, CA

Last night, I had made a couple of greeting cards for Stephanie and Anne Marie because I won't see them on their birthdays in the summer months. They are the only ones in our group who didn't receive a homemade card for any reason. I remedied that. I think they were both pleased. 💕

The colour here is not great
but the cross is brown and the
shroud is in purple.
Anne-Marie loved it.

Stephanie is picking up her baby,
Sally, a bichon frise, this spring,
so I did my best to imitate one for her card.
She loved it also.

So, our supper of pork ribs, potatoes for Bill and salad for each of us, turned out very good. We didn't have any sauce for the ribs but gravy worked fine for tonight. We finished off with a small pie from Walmart for dessert.
