Coffee Hour, Friends Leave, Quilling Class

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Feb. 5^th, I was up at 6:45 and out the door by 7:05. Yes, I decided on my walk today. I’d done my stretches and felt pretty good. Such a lovely morning too, 51F/10C, and I was home before the sun rose. My right leg was tired and starting to ache but by the time I’d made my tea, all was well. Strangest thing. Gibbs and I went for his walk soon after and then I popped in next door to say goodbye to Patty.

Good morning!

Bill and Duncan went flying this morning but in separate vehicles. Bill was staying longer so he and Tommy could begin installing the new flag poles. 😊 Duncan would fly and then get home to finish packing up. I went to the Coffee Hour for about 30 minutes, oh that cake was so good! There were 12 of us in attendance this morning. Our neighbours/friends pulled before 11. And then Jess and Jesse picked me up for my quilling class.

The indecision returns

He's thinking about shade, I know it.

There is some over there so that is where
he is headed.

Jess had 8 participants, including her husband, Jesse. He’d not taken a class before, at least to my knowledge, so withstood a bit of teasing from the other ladies about being the ‘teacher’s pet’. He took it like a champ! Today we made Valentine cards, so I’m not showing a picture of mine. Quite a few of us left with an incomplete creation, we ran out of time, but came home with a few tools to finish the job. I’m all set up with what I’ve bought so I was pleased that I’d done that over the last few weeks.

The horseshoe pits are ready

The day is warming up nicely. Bill and I had lunch and he went over to Jim’s Hangar. More airplane business. Gibbs and I sat outside for a while, on the shaded patio and then went for his walk. I noticed the horseshoe pit is now complete and Michael (Bette’s son) and another man were already playing. Good job, Michael! Maybe I’ll toss one before we leave. 😊

These were our options
today or a combination of both
or whatever we wanted.
Jess showed us the techniques of each card
and left us to it.

I started cooking turkey pot pies for supper, we’ve picked up a few from our last Walmart shop. We enjoy them with a vegetable on the side. It was a good meal. After the little bit of clean up, we watched a movie together called Return to Me with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny. We like her personality.

Sitting outside waiting for Daddy

We reached our high today of 81F/27C with clear blue, sunny skies. The wind remained under 5 mph the whole day and we loved every minute of it. This was a great day.

A delicious meal.
Good night.

Thank you for popping in.

Saying Goodbye, Quilling Class, Quiet Afternoon

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Jan. 29^th the day changed its course from the get-go. Not the best news that Nancy began feeling some cold symptoms yesterday afternoon, but it was sad that this morning she felt and sounded worse.

Good morning!

So, we were up in this household before 7 and I was ready for my walk at 7:15. Nancy skipped walking with me, and decided the best action was to pull up stakes and head for home a few days early. ☹ It is no fun travelling when you aren’t feeling up to par. You need your ‘Spidey-senses’ at all times on the roads. So, it was a quiet walk, no one to talk to again, but I did have my tunes to listen to.

The sky was beautiful this morning

When I returned, Bill and Duncan were about ready to go to the flying field, so I made my tea and skipped cereal. It was Coffee & Snack hour at 9, and Gibbs needed his walk. We took his usual route and we were back home with 10 minutes to spare. 😊 I walked over with my coffee mug and we were all surprised (& a bit disappointed) that Sue wasn’t in attendance, nor were her usual tasty snacks.

I conversed with the small group and at 9:30 walked back to the Suite to grab a snack bar of my own. Sue felt bad, she forgot what day it was. No criticism as we’ve all done that before! Jess and Jessie picked me up a few minutes later for our quilling class. Jessie works the shop for the owner when she isn’t around so he drove.

There they go.
If you look real close,
that little white dot in the passenger window
is Cooper, the navigator. 💗

Today, there were 8 of us w/o Nancy, so a pretty full class. We made a shadow box, this time a desert scene. 😊 We had a lot of fun and the newcomers (4) enjoyed learning a new craft. We were rushed a bit near the end but all managed to finish our projects before the next class at 12:30. I like the little box that I made a lot; my She-Shed back home will be adorned well!

The Saguaros were a little skinny,
but we had fun and are proud of our creations again.

When we got back home, Nancy was within minutes of her departure so I quickly walked over for a goodbye hug (which she almost didn’t want to give because of her cold) and to say bye to Cooper and Jonathon. “whatdoin’ Jonathon?” he was such a little chatterbox this time. ♥ She was gone before 1 pm.

Bill and I had lunch and he went to get propane while I worked away at my blog. It took a long time with all my pictures but I got it finished by 2:30. While Bill and Gibbs dozed, I went to the puzzle for an hour and a half to see what progress I could make. It went quite well, working in a couple of areas. I miss my puzzle partner though!

I managed to find a few more pieces today.

We had Happy Hour with Patty and Duncan until just after 5:30 and parted for supper. Bill grilled himself a bacon cheeseburger and 2 wieners for me. When I realized I only had 1 hotdog bun left, I put both wieners in it with melted cheese. Yummy, it was loaded and delicious! We’re making a grocery list and tomorrow after he flies, we’ll head out for a restock of some items.

There was a bit of confusion at the empty site,
but Gibbs claimed Cooper's palm tree in earnest!
That settles that!

This has been a nice day. Mostly sunny throughout the day reaching a pleasant 64F/17C at the hottest point of the day. Gibbs and I got out for another walk before supper so he is a happy camper. He did hesitate at Nancy’s site though, before moving on. No van door to sit at today! ☹

Yum, a double dog. Delicious!
Good night!

Thank you for the visit!
