Park Place RV Park
On Thursday, Jan. 25th I didn’t feel too bad when I got up. I went to bed last night at – okay, early – 8:30. I couldn’t keep my eyes open while reading so it was the best choice and the figured the sleep would be good. It was an off/on kind of night but that’s to be expected when I go at such a time. 😊 However, I slept well (with Vicks and ‘sockettes’ and a Tylenol in my system.
Good morning!
(it's not raining!)
I planned
on a shower before Poker Pool but once I sat in my recliner, a feeling of ‘the
bug’ still hanging on, I decided to skip one of my favourite things here in the
park. I messaged Nancy that I wouldn’t be playing and she soon responded that
she was skipping it as well. Too bad, it would have been our last opportunity
this winter. Maybe the two of us can squeeze a game in before Monday. So, I put the shower off until later and took Gibbs for his walk after my tea.
Here is our 9 year old sofa bed

| Yah, it was getting bad and leather isn't easy to cover with blankets. They don't stay in place. |
It was a nice
morning, a bit windy with clouds though. Bill had opted to stay home this
morning since it was Thursday night flying and he’d be going later. I played my
online Wordle games and we both read our books. This is a different style of
Patterson’s writing, called Alex Cross’s Trial, written in the early 1900’s. I’m
enjoying the story line, a piece of history. Yesterday, Bill picked up a parcel
that I didn’t say much about until we tried the contents.
Sometimes, we just hit it right and buy
just the perfect thing!!
We love it and it sure brightens up the room.
So, we
moved the coffee table, pulled his recliner out of position and he shimmied the
huge sofa bed forward so he could get behind it. First off, this act enabled us
to vacuum in an area that doesn’t get cleaned so that was Bonus #1. 😊 Secondly, we stripped the sofa of the 3 cushions and
replaced the two black covers with this new bright blue sofa cover. We are both
loving it and the brightness it adds to our already dark Suite. ♥ It went on easily, fits perfectly and is soft to the touch.
The pleather couch (real leather, my ***), is splitting and peeling and cracking beyond repair so we had to do something. This cover is easier and much, much cheaper than replacing a couch! We had lunch, my appetite is waning, I noticed it at supper last night and today so just had some toast with turmeric honey. It was still almost too much. While he and Gibbs dozed, I had my shower and we all, plus Nancy, drove out to Roadrunner blm for Happy Hour with the group.
Gibbs got to go and rode in the back on Nancy's lap.
Peeking up front, over my shoulder. 💕
The clouds turned our sunny heat into
a cool sit. Jackets on, jackets off. 
Gibbs loves Nancy and visa versa.
Ken and Kim here also.

Doug and Yuma arrived in his Jeep for a visit so we all wanted to be together. Each of us has our own difficulties in this lifestyle but we all also have our own joys and ideas of what works for us. Doug is making decisions regarding his White Lion mh and we are supportive of what he is going through. It was great seeing everyone. I knew it was time to leave when my head started aching just before 4. I think my ball cap was too tight because when I took it off, it eased considerably. Duh! I need to find my visor.

Back
home, after Bill left at 5ish, I called Nancy over to see our couch cover and
got the thumbs up. 😊 She agrees that it was a good
choice. I’ll cook wieners and beans for our supper when Bill is on his way
home. We have buns and will make hotdogs for a change. We reached a mild
66F/19C today, hotter when the sun is not covered by clouds, but all in all a
nice day. I read my book until Bill texted and we'll spend the evening reading.
A lovely afternoon and warmer temps
are coming. So they say!
I’ve had
a good day. Tomorrow, I hope to work on the new puzzle Susan started.
Nancy popped into the clubhouse to get a picture
of the latest puzzle for me. Nice job ladies!
It was fun to work on.
Good night!
Thank you
for stopping by.
