.......we still enjoy a quiet day once in a while.
Thursday, Dec. 29th was
just that kind of day. I was up by 7:15 am and quickly checked the day’s
forecast. It’s calling for a high of 68F and full sun. I’m glad we decided to
stay put for the day.
Bill was still sleeping when I
grabbed the little camera and went out for my walk. The air was cool but I could
tell the clouds were soon going to be pushed out of the way giving the sun
control. The eastern view of the mountains behind the park was beautiful.
After checking blog posts with a cup of steeped tea, I hopped in the shower. It is nice to be
in a park and have water at our disposal. It was a nice long shower. There was
no wind to speak of so we put the awnings out to keep the Suite cool inside. Before long the thermometer outside was reading 77F and inside it was 80F, a gorgeous day.
By 10 am it was warm enough
for shorts and a tank top. Bill cooked bacon and eggs on the Weber Q and we sat
and enjoyed our books after breakfast.

We soon realized we could use the sun
shade we bought so zipped it on. Bill usually prefers the shade and I choose the sun
every time.

I slipped into my bathing suit and
sat in my lounger for a while before deciding that the sound I heard was the
pool calling my name. Bill promised to join me once he finished his book so off
I went. I was quite happy savoring the quiet and soon Melinda joined me for a
dip and some more tanning time. The company was nice. I can't get over how there is never anyone else at the pool when I go.
Two hours later, Bill came to cool
off and after a quick swim we walked back together, just in time for Happy Hour. It sounds funny to say
we have ‘regulars’ for happy hour but we really do! We welcome anyone new who’d
like to stop in but we also enjoy the same friends each day.
We have a lot of laughs together and
the days seem to be staying warmer longer making it harder to say good-bye. Today before most arrived for H.H. Clemson
surprised us by jumping up on Suzie’s lap.

We split up shortly after 4:30 and
prepared our own supper while the sun set beautifully. We had chicken breasts and potatoes on the barbecue with the last of our pumpkin pie for dessert.
