Park Place RV Resort
On Friday, Mar. 4th I woke to Gibbs barking at something at 5:30. I heard Bill admonish him and tell him to go back to sleep. My little window beside me was open all night and I’m sure he’d heard someone going off to work. There are those here that aren’t retired. Poor them. LOL So, Gibbs not only went back to sleep but slept until 7 when Bill got up to take him out for his morning constitution. 😊
After a short walk with Gibbs,
I ventured out on my own
He didn’t sleep after that but did everything in his power to come between us. He’s so jealous and if he can’t get between us, he’ll lay right on top of us vying for snuggles too. ♥ I can’t complain too much, I love his cuddly nature. Bill complains enough for both of us. Ha ha! We got up at 7:30 and Gibbs and I set out for our walk. We didn’t get 5 minutes down the highway and he stopped, looking at me. He didn’t want to walk today, apparently, so we returned to our site.

| Talk about sticker shock! I know it is terrible back home too |
I love the walkway along the highway
The palo verde trees are so 'well mannered' 😀
I dropped him inside and told Bill I was continuing on my walk. I went the whole gamut this morning, walking with no sniff or piddle breaks, around the big block, past the Police station, Post Office and up the divided library road. I did cut through Arizona Sun RV Park this time, for the first time, just nosy enough to see what it was like. I like ours better, wider roads and mostly wider sites. Patty says their clubhouse is nicer but I’ll never know and I like ours anyway.

Back
home, I made my tea and had a couple of tangelos/Clementines/tangerines
whatever we all choose to call them. 😊 It was a warm morning, 57F/13C, but it was windy and we knew
that would only increase as the day wore on. At 9:30, I went to the clubhouse
with another one of my own puzzles. I bought this one at Value Village back
home and love the picture. I can pretend it is a younger Mom at the piano. When
I got it out and ready to start, I realized that it was a small one. Sue said
that I would have this one done today. Funny.

| Such a pretty picture Too bad it's such an easy puzzle to do I would have liked it to last longer than a couple of days |
 |
| I'll still enjoy it and leave this one behind for someone else in the park |
I worked
until 11:30 and had to admit that if I kept at it, I probably could have
finished it. My plan was to go back this afternoon. We sat together at the
table and Bill registered us on the app that we are required to fill out to
cross the land border back into Canada. If things change between now and then and
we don’t need it, no big deal. Only one of us needs to register for the two of
us so he did that and we have our information saved and in our file. We just
need to input the additional information regarding our negative Covid-19 tests
(rapid antigen) before we cross. I know Bill is relieved to have that started. 😊
My toasted Reuben, much better today
for some reason
I made
bacon and eggs for Bill at noon and I fried (reheated in the fry pan) my half Reuben
from last night’s supper. I don’t know how or why but it tasted better today
than it did at supper in the restaurant. I had planned to take Gibbs to the
bigger dog park this afternoon instead of returning to the clubhouse but wanted
to read a bit first after eating. If I keep at it, the book may be done today!👩
Gibbs at the park for small dogs
He's still the cutest one of the bunch! 💗
At 2, the winds had picked up and the clouds had moved overhead enough that Bill and I went out to put our chairs away. Tomorrow and Sunday were forecasted to have really strong wind gusts so we would get a jump on it. As we stepped out, it had started raining, lightly, so we moved just in time. With the chairs tucked in the basement it was obvious that temperatures had dropped from today’s high temp of 66F. Clouds do that more than anything else down here.

| He was tuckered out when we got home |
Within 10
minutes of returning inside, the sun came back out so I loaded Gibbs into the
truck and we drove down the street. There wasn’t much ‘loading’ as he didn’t
hesitate to jump up into the passenger seat even when he had no idea where he
was going. I don’t let him sit on my lap when I’m driving but for the short
distance, he perched himself next to me and whimpered the whole way. LOL
Well, I've never seen anything like this before!
He sleeps up top with his 2 small dogs, the domes in the back lift from each side
to close the unit in..........??? I wish he would have
demonstrated, but he seemed quite proud.
I was
pleased to find at least 6 doggies, all his size in the small dog pen. Even
though he is over the 20 lb. limit, I released him in there as I was sure some
of those were also over the weight. 😊 He sniffed a lot, not just the structures but other dogs and
got into a playful chase a few times. I was proud, he behaved very well and
when we were the second last ones in the fenced area, he came to me to put his
leash on. We’ll definitely go back.

| He lays the side domes/windows down to travel so his small truck doesn't topple over in the winds Sometimes, he takes the plexiglass out of the 'over the cab' section which means lugging all his bedding under cover. Interesting to say the least! |
It seemed
to have warmed back up again by the time I returned home and I opened a couple
of windows. It was 77f/25C inside the Suite. I sat with the happy little boy as
he cooled down and then he moved around from sleeping area to the back of my
chair. Duty calls, you know! I’m almost done my book so read a few more
chapters before starting to prep supper at 5:45. Tonight it was Baked Lemon
Butter Salmon, with fries for Bill and broccoli for me. Yum, it was very good.
Supper tonight was an indoor meal
and tasted great!
We
watched some of the PBS programs while I worked on my blog even though the
commercials are long and drive us a bit nuts. The music from our generation is
good and it’s fun to see the entertainers still going strong at advanced ages. ♥ This was an easy day and it ended with a beautiful sky all around us.
Beautiful sky tonight
Good night!
Thank you
for your visit.
