17 days here in the park and we have mixed feelings about that. Of course, we
are loving it here but at the same time, knowing we have to, and want to,

morning was calm so Bill had in his mind to go flying. The sky was lovely,
clear blue, and although a chilly 46F/8C, in the sun it felt quite nice – to start.
Gibbs and I went for our walk at 8 after Bill left and back home, I got the
vacuum out and chased the little bum around the Suite. Well, not intentionally
but he just moves constantly to get out of the way. With that put away, he
apparently wasn’t safe yet as when I got the Norwex mop out to wash the floors,
he still felt the need to move from bed to chair and back to bed again. Poor
little guy. </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXNrEDlnTuaX66sahLYZOU080Yy9ILu-_RkdoYC2kYMtXa9mGz7AzeibpC8pXQ99tyioTDIumFvGOTALOkBfSmFcFlWzzBtDf1uzlqfzAmB8-7lFXDZojMyiE_NwhisOYmiLc0kV4OvP71ko4ZCRIbEKdoJwqNwZ86sbccFnB8mk_AZ_A3JTTVLscaAo/s800/20240316_081600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="542" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjXNrEDlnTuaX66sahLYZOU080Yy9ILu-_RkdoYC2kYMtXa9mGz7AzeibpC8pXQ99tyioTDIumFvGOTALOkBfSmFcFlWzzBtDf1uzlqfzAmB8-7lFXDZojMyiE_NwhisOYmiLc0kV4OvP71ko4ZCRIbEKdoJwqNwZ86sbccFnB8mk_AZ_A3JTTVLscaAo/w434-h640/20240316_081600.jpg" width="434" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We're getting there with the<br />Ocotillo bloom</td></tr></tbody></table></i></p>

with Rick, I returned home for a bit more reading. Sheila stopped by on her
daily walk and we caught up before starting supper. Tonight was a large boneless
skinless chicken breast that I cut into 4 pieces and cooked in Rosy, the air
fryer. They were thick but took only 20 minutes. Bill ate the reheated bit of
ghoulash that was leftover and I had cooked some Swiss chard that one of the ladies
here shared. It tastes and looks different than our chard back home, more like
spinach, but it was very much enjoyed. </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span></i><i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufMQ7CT3jUbVcJJ0i8bHpDb6TCouTU9pWoVBgItyMEGE8ZtrIBBfx1e9uwDAZGvT3A3EOxHB-05sNthlTydM2omnxpSdNRNzgk6Z_2_XsyToIMv8mj-vZ5x0EwS6TwmpUG4KdX3txRcL2tf1KC1o5fOkj38G8eMGcylKUjgCLNUWgcnf-IJW0wZPXY-c/s800/20240310_190746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-style: italic; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="800" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjufMQ7CT3jUbVcJJ0i8bHpDb6TCouTU9pWoVBgItyMEGE8ZtrIBBfx1e9uwDAZGvT3A3EOxHB-05sNthlTydM2omnxpSdNRNzgk6Z_2_XsyToIMv8mj-vZ5x0EwS6TwmpUG4KdX3txRcL2tf1KC1o5fOkj38G8eMGcylKUjgCLNUWgcnf-IJW0wZPXY-c/w640-h508/20240310_190746.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The chicken was good and lots of it</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>

the same shape so I’m not getting any help with this, the most difficult part.
Normally, I could sort into shapes but……not this time. I managed a few pieces
but that means a five or six and I walked back home shortly after 11. I’ll have
to work on it in bits and spurts so I don’t get frustrated. Gibbs and I sat

tea and Bill moved the ‘wings’ out of the back seat. We pulled out at 10 and it
although it was cloudy, it was a warm drive. The temperature would reach
76F/23C here and a few degrees warmer in Yuma.
