Taking Care of Things, Gibbs Gets a Bath/Shower ♥

Park Place RV

On Wednesday, Mar. 30^th, the heat returns. We were near 60F/15C at 7:20 when Gibbs and I walked.  I overdressed. 😊 The sky was clear blue so the clouds have moved off for another stint and the day’s forecast is 82F/28C. That is actually quite nice and with a slight breeze, we decided to turn our power off and use solar for the last couple of days here. With windows open and blinds pulled, it is quite pleasant indoors.

Good morning!
Clear skies have returned

Looks like 3 of us walking today

Bill went to the flying field briefly, just to say goodbye to the remaining few members. We topped up with fuel on the way home from the desert last night, at $5.05/gal, taking no chances on an increase overnight. Well, this morning he reported that it was $4.99/gal, wouldn’t ya know? LOL

We see this seed block every day and today
we got a surprise
It wasn't just birdies!

Dare I say "no truer words were spoken?" 😁

Bill had a job to do and set about finishing his tire check. One of the truck tires was ‘flat’ so they all got topped up before lunch. He’ll keep an eye on it but now both vehicles are ready for the move. It is a short jaunt on Friday when we leave here which is nice. We’re kind of spoiled with all the hookups, a/c and what not, but it is always a good test for us, doing the dry camping/boon docking thing here and there.

After his shower, dried off in my chair
rolling around, always with eyes on me

While Bill worked outside, I took my Norwex Enviro cloth and washed down the windows, screens, leather couch (dust!), and back cupboards as well as the coffee table. I know we’ll be in the desert but I have water hookup here to rinse my cloth often and boy did it need it! 😊 I won’t do the outside of the windows until we get to our next park, where we’ll be for 5 nights. It wasn’t lunch time yet and Gibbs showed an interest in the shower. So, I gave him one. ♥ He’s such a good boy!

Plus talking back 😀

The antics afterwards though made me wonder if he was excited or mad at me! Ha ha. We were both quite wet, he hopped out of the shower once before we were finished so Mom got a bath too. He smelled like a sweet little puppy again rather than the desert doggie we’ve come to know. He kept running up to the shower to check it out, seemingly with no fear which is a great thing.

I got a bath as well

We had poached eggs on toast for lunch and set the dishwasher to run. Since we didn’t eat here last night, it wasn’t full enough to start and waiting until supper would have been too many dishes. It was the perfect day for outside sitting so we moved out to the patio. Gibbs was good and impish, barking and/or picking up stones in between slipping under the dirty truck. My oh my, like a little kid in clean knickers!

Lunch

I walked over to the clubhouse with a large roll of mid-size garbage bags that we’ll never use in 10 lifetimes and Heather appreciated it for their garbage cans in the various rooms. We didn’t care who used them but it makes sense for the park to utilize them.  😊 Bill and I got the world atlas out and talked more about our journey home. During that conversation, we came to another conclusion about next year.

New hair style
It's called the 'shaggy dog'

Some play time on the patio

It was a treat when Johnnie and Rich from next door joined us. They saw us getting ready to leave and didn’t want to miss saying goodbye. After about half hour, we were thrilled to hear that they will be beside us again when we return and we’ve all agreed to get together for Happy Hours. New friends are always wonderful and these two will be a lot of fun! 😊

A great supper again tonight

For supper, Rosy air fried 3 chicken thighs, I boiled some potatoes, cabbage and nuked mixed veggies for Bill. Supper was perfect! Yum! We don’t have too many really good meals, tasty plus good for us, but this one hit both marks. We loaded the dishwasher again and it ran for the second time today. To put in time while I wrote my blog Bill turned the Domino Masters program on. Fun to watch their creativity.

This would have been a beauty of a picture if
I had only gone outside to get it

We watched American Idol together and the evening past us by. This was a really great day. Stick around, there will be another one tomorrow. 😊 ♥

Still a lovely sunset
Good night!

Thanks for popping by.
