A Bummer Kind of Day – We’ve all Had Those, Right?

Quail Ridge RV Park

Monday, Apr. 3rd Bill was up early and had his coffee made in a thermos. Gibbs and I slipped out for our walk and then Tom came by around 7:15 to pick Bill up. He drove my hubby to the Ford dealership in Sierra Vista to get feedback on when Black Beauty would be looked after . Then he carried on to the Jeep dealership for their own vehicle. Deb K also was in town at the Chev dealership with her truck at the same time. It was a family affair!

but this little guy should bring sunshine 💓

Funny thing is they are all owned by Lawley’s. Bill and Tom were not met with the best of news and that just set our day off on a sour note. We try hard not to let things get to us but sometimes, that is really really hard, especially when you are already on the downslope and it gets steeper from there. By the way, thank you to all my blog and Facebook readers for the positive and supportive comments. We really appreciate you. 😊

So, back home, we just hung out. We cancelled a reservation we had made to visit Nashville 😭 and also wiped the slate clean on our calendars for the time being. Instead of leaving today, we would be here until Friday – at least. News later in the afternoon indicated that there could be further delays of which I can’t even talk about or I’ll get all messed up again. We had sandwiches for lunch and then sat and each of us finished our books, needing the distraction. Where is a puzzle when I need one?

It is blurry, sorry, but it sure
was a quick tasty meal

After taking Gibbs for a very windy walk at 3, (it’s okay, I had a good hold on his leash) we walked over to Deb and Tom’s for a short Happy Hour. It was very hot inside their lovely home mainly because the strong wind was from the southwest and was quite noisy. An hour and a half later, we said goodbye, although it was another nice visit with our 4 friends. My head was aching and I just needed to get some fresh air.

Bill is a fast eater, likes it hot.
By the time I sit and take a picture,
he's almost done
I wanted to show you the special thing I added
to the top of his serving.

We’ve probably had more sand/dust blow in this afternoon than we had all the time we were in Park Place. The countertops are gritty within minutes after wiping them. For supper, I made sloppy Joe’s and they were delicious on the homemade buns we bought in the Q. I thought eating would ease my headache but when it didn’t, I took a couple of Tylenol and worked on my blog.

I managed to catch the sunset tonight
At least the start of it.

This has not been the best day; the news isn’t good as far as timeline and cost. We have some decisions to make.  Oh yeah, we did walk up to pay for our stay until Friday morning – for now. Despite the 26 – 35 mph winds, which will last until 10 pm and bring us a cool day tomorrow, we reached 75F/24C today.
