La Posa South, Quartzsite, Az
It was 7:20 on Monday, Jan. 24th when Gibbs and I slipped out of bed, leaving Daddy to drop back off, if he could. It was another nice morning, clear sky, no wind and 44F/7C so therefore, a nice walk. Gibbs, our gigolo, met two little female dogs, nose to nose, but no valid prospects. I think he still has Gabby (or Allie?) in his mind. 😊
The pink mountains strike again. ♥
I took a
peek at our battery situation this morning and was pleased that they were
charged up to 12.2 before I left for my walk. This is just proof of what that glorious sun can do. ♥ Yesterday was a zinger. We made our coffee and tea and relaxed while we drank it. Bill wanted to
get our fresh water topped up so drove up around 9 to fill the bladder. When he
came back, he wasn’t too happy. The inside of the cap broke when he turned it
off so we stewed a bit about how to transfer the water to the tank.

While
outside, there was a man heading across the gravel towards us. Hmm. Gibbs was
going a bit crazy so rather than listening to the barking and trying to
restrain him, I put him inside where he stopped immediately. We met James, an
rv’er from southern Louisiana who reads our blogs. 😊 😊 So cool! I’m glad he stopped by and
we chatted for quite some time about everything.
Back at home, I noticed Bill and Janet walking
through with the pompoms. :) We were inside though so I missed them.
He began
by following The Bayfield Bunch, so sidebars do work. He’s read theirs, ours
and Nancy’s plus, I’m sure, a number of others. I should have snapped a picture
but I didn’t have my camera. Hopefully, we’ll see him and his wife, Cindy, when
they walk through next time. Bill managed to hold the cap in a way that he
transferred 90% of the water from the bladder to our tank so 3 cheers for his
ingenuity – again. ♥

The rest
of the day was pretty low key. We had scrambled eggs and bacon for lunch and
read our books. I spent most of the day out in either of our chairs, moving
according to how hot I was. Bill and I noticed the hummingbird hovering around my
new feeder so that is encouraging. Once he figures it out, he’ll be back, I
hope. The day was quieter than normal because our neighbours were gone from 10
until about 3. 😊
This morning, Gibbs found a bottle he'd found
a week ago and left behind
He dropped it before we got home.
They aren’t noisy, but we can hear every conversation which means they can probably hear ours. At 5:45, we started supper. Fish and chips tonight. We have tv to watch tonight, so Bill will try the generator to plug in the Fry Daddy.
Okay, so all you crocheters, no laughing.
This doesn't look like it is supposed to - AT ALL!This is the tutorial I was watching
I'm obviously an idiot with a crochet hook in my hands. LOLI should have quit before I started. :(
I chatted on Messenger with Deb late this afternoon and she has graciously offered to help me get a blanket started before we go our separate ways. They are not far down Hwy 95 so we’ll try and get together on the weekend. Thanks Deb!
supper was good

Supper was good. The cod fish was tasty, Bill had the fries and I cooked some sweetlet peas to share. This afternoon we had a snack so this meal was just enough to fill us. This was a good day and evening as well watching a few of our favourites. Yay, the generator started again!

Lastly, today is a special day. My sister-in-law, Liz, is celebrating a birthday today so I can't miss wishing her all the best.😊
Good night everyone!Happy Birthday to lovely Liz ♥
