Slow Moving Sunday, Talking to the Young ‘uns

Park Place Resort, Quartzsite, Az

On Sunday, Feb. 20^th was another great start up. Gibbs and I went for our walk. Nothing much new there but he did venture up to say hello to the cement burro today. I guess he felt brave. 😊 Bill left for the flying field shortly after we were home. Last thing he does is turn our power off and the inverter on. In reverse order. We’ve had a long beautiful stretch of clear sunny skies that we benefit from.

Good morning!

I wandered over to the clubhouse to work on the puzzle just before 10 but soon returned, it was freezing in there! Today, it was the 3^rd co-host couple on duty. I think Patty has been under the weather so they take turns. Because I was chilled to the bone, seriously it was that cold in there, when I came home Gibbs and I sat outside in the gorgeous sunshine. Well, I was in the sun. Gibbs was too busy barking at everything. LOL

Pretty cacti

Just checking to see if you're real

He's okay, Mom!

It's a nice little subdivision
Bill, did you buy a lottery ticket yet?

I took my afghan out and for an hour and a half focused on that. It was the perfect time to call my son and we chatted for about 20 minutes and Bill was home soon after for lunch. We each had a sandwich or a wrap and then Bill called a couple of his daughters to catch up with them too. Tomorrow, we’ll try and get in touch with the other 3. Our communications aren’t regular yet they are always good ones and so nice to hear voices. ♥

This morning when Bill left, it only took a second and
Gibbs was up on the hutch top

I wandered back to the clubhouse around 1:30 and worked away on the puzzle for an hour and a half. It was warmed up in there so I was able to concentrate better. 😊 I’ve finished the ‘easier’ pieces so now the surrounding difficult pieces are left. 

I worked on the top portion this afternoon
It's challenging but still fun

I know there are at least 2 pieces missing but nothing was written on the box. This is aggravating and when I finished, I may just have to ‘retire’ it. It’s no fun doing a puzzle with more than 1 piece missing.

Checking the premises

All clear, Mom

Back home, I made a tea and while writing my blog, Bill took Gibbs for a nice long walk. That’s nice, it saves me from taking him to the park. I went back outside to do more crocheting. One day, I'll show you how far the afhan has come 😂

Supper with wine = perfect

It is a lovely 79F/26C but it is windy today. It is comfortable sitting on the shaded patio. At 6, I reheated our lasagna and although we didn’t have any lettuce left for salads, it was enough food. Tonight, I remembered to pour us each a glass of wine. After supper, we called Jess and chatted with her, Easton and smiling little Hadley. 💕

Pom pom puppy
What a goof!
Good night!

Thank you for popping in. This was a great day!

Taking it Slow on Sunday

The Ridge

Today, Sunday, July 11^th I knew it would be a slower day – for me, at least. We slept in until 7:30 after Gibbs joined us upstairs. I felt that I could have slept longer after last night’s 11 o’clock bedtime (really! I can’t believe that is late for us) but I had to clean the Mat and do our laundry this morning. It was 8:15 when I headed into town.

The other night when I was watching tv in the bedroom
I snapped this picture
Worth sharing, I think

The laundromat was empty with one washer running when I arrived so I made quick work of getting our 2 loads in and began cleaning. By the time I left, there were 3 more arrivals. I damp mopped and slipped out an hour later. Because the sky is cloudy and the forecast calling for ‘possible’ showers, I used the dryers and left with clean, folded clothes. 😊 No fresh air drying today.

I had a breakfast quesadilla
Bill had his omelette in a bun

Back home, Gibbs and Bill were inside together. There were things Bill thought of doing but didn’t want to put the little guy on his leash while he disappeared into the Hangar. I had pictures to download from yesterday, I took a lot but some are from Bill’s project so will put those on a stick for him to use. It was late morning when I finally finished posting my blog for Saturday.

This is a very different little Gibbs
We love it, but it is just different 💕

At noon, we had breakfast omelettes and did dishes after. I’d learned of a different stain remover from my niece so mixed some up for a few grease stains on some tops that I’ve resorted to wearing just around home. If it works, I’ll let you know tomorrow. Then I sat down and sent an email out to our friends who usually join us for a campout while Bill and Gibbs went up for their snooze. Gibbs full well knows the word now and heads for the stairs on cue. 😊

A few summer tops with a little stain 
so I tried out the homemade paste

The rest of our day was even lazier. I did vacuum the Suite before lunch so that was out of the way and then instead of reading, I pulled my cross stitch over to the table. I concentrated on it for a couple of hours until it was time for supper. Mini sausages and fries for Bill and I had mixed veggies and keto biscuits with my sausages. It was topped off, of course, with pie. With dishes done, we sat for the evening and watched some tv.

I found a little doggie t-shirt and put it on
our little 12.2 oz puppy
I should have found it 2 months ago!

Of course, I took it off and got rid of it 😂

Gibbs has not been himself today, so we’re wondering if he is still dragging from yesterday like we are! He’s not sick but he is sleeping a lot, sitting on our laps more and has yet to run around the island! 😊 I’ll keep an eye on him tomorrow. This has been a nice quiet day which is perfect for a Sunday, isn’t it?

Supper was good and just the right amount
Good night!

Thank you for stopping in to share it with us.
