Quartzsite, Az
On Sunday, Nov. 8th I had nothing to view out my little bedroom window and from the comments, I was again aware of how special yesterday's moon and Venus sighting really was. Thank you for those! It was 6:40 when I got up, splashed water on my face, kissed my boys (well, Gibbs got me first) and went out.

| Good morning! Looking east then west. My timing was perfect again. This was halfway through my walk. |
It was a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday but I knew a windbreaker over a short sleeve shirt would be sufficient. Every day, I'm returning with the jacket slung over my shoulder anyway. Today's walk was uneventful and it seems there is one additional rv on my route each morning.
Gibbs ran to greet me again and I thought I'd caught him on video but must have hit the wrong button. Tomorrow I'll try again. It's just adorable.
Below, I did take a video of him walking back with me. Who doesn't love a puppy butt wiggle?💕 Just as adorable are the hummingbirds that visit our feeders. Woops! They emptied it! I had more in the fridge and filled it by 10.
After Bill left, I sat at our desk and finished another greeting card. Gibbs and I went out at 9:45 again and he dozed in the shade of my chair while I read my book. I'm sure I will finish it today as I didn't read much last night after watching one of my shows. We were in bed shortly after 10.

| Just like home, he watches Daddy go flying. |
While inside this morning, I placed an Amazon order, our first since here. I needed my Burt's Bees toothpaste and wanted a couple of other things. It is a good test to see how well our new address will work. I should have it by Monday, the 16th. I prefer the charcoal NO flouride brand.
So, first the Missus. She's all about
thanking me for the food.
Then comes the Mister.
He must know I wanted to get his
brilliant colours as he posed for me.
Vain fella, isn't he?
(but so pretty!)
Bill was home the usual time, between 10:30 and 11 and he set about charging batteries. He wanted to order something for the flying club so also placed an order after lunch. I decided on a banana, yogourt, milk, cream smoothie for lunch and with a teaspoon of peanut butter and some cinnamon and ginger, it was delicious. And filling!
These were today's cards.
I did manage to get them 95% finished.
Just a couple more and then they're off!
We'd talked yesterday about removing the window coverings in our outside door so Bill did that after lunch and then proceeded to have his reading/snoozing time. Gibbs does the snoozing part, inside and out to be with both of us in equal time. Funny little man.
I finished my book outside, with my back to the sun and came in to start my blog and write the message in my cards. They are getting closer to hitting the mail box, just a couple more touchups and addressing those envelopes.
We've come a long way, baby.
From 2016 when Bill and Gerry Hicks
pulled our blue boy behind BB from a
spot at La Posa South to the dump station.
What a disaster!! (but funny when they told the story)
Not sure if Gerry reads my blog but,
he'll remember!
Supper is fish and fries for Bill and fish and onion rings for me. I've been good (few carbs=sugar) so will try not to be a piggy with the rings. Although, .........the deep frying is part of the keto process that I love. We don't use Canola or sunflower oil, blech, but either olive, avocado or peanut oil.
If I could add music to this picture,
it would be ♪ 'ladidah, I'm a free puppy'♫
For now, he's free. Once it gets busy,
he'll be tethered more.
Yummy, the fish and rings were soooo good and Bill enjoyed his fries. He started the generator at 5:30 before we started using Rosy and Fry Daddy. I did the fish in the frying pan. Gibbs enjoyed his fish too with his kibble. We did the dishes and Bill went up to watch a movie while I finished my blog.
Oh my goodness!
This was so good!
Everyday sounds like a broken record to you all, I'm sure, but it is just our life. There's not a lot of variation but wait until tomorrow!! 🤠Bill did empty our gray tank into the blue boy which he'd hefted up into the back of Black Beauty. He'll dump it in the morning at La Posa South and do a repeat with the black tank tomorrow night.
This was another good day. They just seem to be stacked up - such is a typical day at Quartzsite, Arizona in November. 😉🥰 Almost the same temperature as yesterday, 82F/27.78C with a lovely low temp of 59F/15C overnight.
As I write my blog tonight,
I'm looking out our back window at this.
Bill said our lights were lit up already
at 6 so I had to go see.
We called Marilynne in Fort Erie this morning before her day got too involved. She turned 91 today. She's doing great!
A good picture from our last visit,
October 12th.
Happy Birthday, Marilynne!
Good night!
Thank you for following along. Your comments are wonderful to read.
