Park Place RV Park
On Friday, Feb. 28th it was to be a mostly quiet day. Bill was happy to see the calm that spread over Quartzsite as that meant a great flying morning. 😊 My pilot was happy. Gibbs and I got up around 7 and did our floor routine. I didn't sleep great last night, awake more than a couple of times, trying to get comfortable. Plus, feeling hot, cold = blankets on, blankets off.
Good morning!
We came down to join my Sweetie and after breakfast, he left for the field. I sat at the table and finished my tea with the little bum snugged tight behind me. Before taking Gibbs for his walk, I had my shower. I think I was paying for the time in the truck yesterday as my leg was a bit uncomfortable this morning. I was happy we weren't going anywhere this morning. Gibbs and I sat outside in the gazebo and I took the time to pack up the sponge floor cubes. The wind from the other day had blown them awry so it was a good time to do it.
Our morning visitor.
Love the earrings!
Notice those peek-a-boo eyes on Gibbs?
I came inside for a bullet-proof coffee and that was when my day brightened up even more. Jess texted, asking if I had time for a visit. I had a Worry Worm for her so was expecting to see her at some point today. Bill wasn't home yet so it made for a nice 'girl's' visit, not that he would have been a hindrance. It was just nice, just the three of us. Gibbs was included, of course, as he came inside as soon as she did. 💕 Surprisingly, he didn't make too much of a nuisance of himself. A few face licks, which she obligingly accepted.
Pictures never do it justice but I love this section

as we enter California
She gifted me with a pair of earrings that she made and it shows how much she already knows about me. Sunflowers, my very favourite! They are beautiful, thank you Jess! I almost bought a shirt in the same colour yesterday at Marshalls but refrained. I guess I need to go back. 😁 Within 2 minutes, no kidding, of Jess walking out of the Suite (after a hug, naturally) Bill drove in. We'd pretty much decided on waiting until after lunch to go to Albertson's for a few groceries and that was the best plan.
I wish I'd been quicker with the 'snap' of
the bottom right picture. That was a beautiful Saguaro.
The drive there and back was event-free, the best kind, and yet I still admired the mountain views. There is one section that twists and turns in through the ranges and my head swivels each and every time. Some of the saguaros are beautiful, with arms reaching in every direction. Ground level, mountain side or peak, they stand proud and look healthy. Back home, we relaxed together. We picked up a roasted chicken from the store so supper was easy to prepare.
Gibbs took me down Quail Trail Rd. this afternoon.
I appreciate him, it's the only walking I do. 😐
Bill picked up a couple of cobs of corn and I chose a couple of premixed salads for meals this weekend too. Gibbs and I went for our walk, and he was in the mood to take me for a nice trek. We went to Quail Trail and then back behind the park towards home. He was on a mission so I just followed along, keeping him on a short lead. I know that it has been hot enough for the rattle snakes to start making appearances. My eyes are peeled and he doesn't go anywhere I haven't looked at.
Supper was great!
Supper was delicious with plenty of chicken left over. The corn was yummy, we wish we'd bought a few more. This has been another hot day, right up our alley! We reached a lovely 86F/30C today with nary a breeze. The overhead clouds that dominated the day were almost a blessing and made it perfect for patio sitting. If there was a great sunset, I missed it, NCIS:Sydney began at 6 pm and Fire Country followed. I was a bit busy! 😄
Fresh strawberries and cream
for dessert. Yum!
Good night.
Thank you for stopping in. Your comments are always appreciated.
