The Days are Stacking Up

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Feb. 8th it was 7 when I got up again and began my day. I had my tea and took Gibbs for his walk. Bill was packed and ready for the field and left about the same time we did. We walked the normal route, taking me around the small block. Today, it was Yard Sale Day in our park and the sister park behind us.

Good morning!

So, I dropped Gibbs back home, grabbed my wallet and walked around. There were only 3 sellers in our park and other than a couple of FREE things, I didn’t spend any $.

Someone is really enjoying the temperature
outside - in the shade. 💗

I walked back to Arizona Sun RV Park and there were only 6 sales back there. I think the whole idea of yard sales is getting old, especially this time of the season. I did find a couple of books at Nancy’s sale (one of the walking ladies), and some earrings at another. I couldn’t pass up the earrings for $1/pair. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular so didn’t mind that the offerings were minimal. 😊

He makes a real cute little Vanna, eh?

One of the things I found in our park was a set of interlocking foam tiles and snapped them up for in the gazebo. They are alphabets but they fit right in the centre and will suffice until (or if) I find a suitable mat to keep the dust down. Gibbs and I sat outside for the remainder of the morning and Bill returned by 10:30 and joined us on the patio.

The sky was like this throughout the day.

For lunch, I made bacon and eggs for a change. We have eggs to be eaten and today was a good opportunity when we were both home at 12 noon. 😊 After we ate and cleaned up, Bill dozed inside and Gibbs and I enjoyed the fresh air outside and had our own naps. I was so comfortable out there with the heat of the sun (yet not too hot with the breeze) and NO bugs whatsoever! That’s the amazing part.

Cute Valentine's earrings
I couldn't resist.

All done!

At 1:45, I went to the puzzle and managed to finish it quickly and returned home at 2:30. It was a fun one to do and there are a few more by the same company that I look forward to working on. I harnessed Gibbs up and we went for his afternoon walk. Well, he really wanted to walk today! Maybe he was pushing his mom to get out there too.

Down the road he follows his nose.
Out into the desert, 'coming Mom?'

Phew! Shade.

Down Riggles to Quail Trail, crossing into the desert, following the path back across the back of our park and in through the dog park area. Boy, was he tired when we got to that large patch of shadow under the storage area. He plopped and I just had to laugh. It was his walk; he was in charge and it was a good one.

Pancakes for supper.

We relaxed in our own way until supper, I started another Janet Evanovich book in the gazebo. This one is the first one in the Stephanie Plum series, One for the Money. It is neat to read how it all started. 😊 For supper, we had pancakes with Durham maple syrup and butter. Yum. Mine were keto and I have a couple left for lunch one day.

The sky was lovely today

We cleaned up dishes and spent an evening watching tv. This has been a wonderful day just hanging around ‘home’. We reached a high of 77F/25C and many agreed that it was perfect. I hope you have enjoyed yours as well.

And the day comes to an end.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping in.
