When I woke up on Sunday, Feb. 10th,
it was 6:30 and Bill had just nicely risen, I think. I rolled over for another
half hour of shut eye but it was merely a rest. I remained awake. I got up at 7 and joined Bill
downstairs while he drank his coffee. He began filling our pill cases and I
chuckled, thinking ‘we’ve turned into our parents’. Not really, we only take daily
vitamins.

I had a blog post to finish so worked
at that and then around 8 I went for my walk. Nothing exciting to report today, it was later
and I didn’t get the pretty sunrise photos that I’m used to seeing. The good
news is that the sky was clear and we were in for a sunny day. With a forecast
of some 6 to 12 mph winds and a high of 65F/19C, we were in for a pretty nice
day. It started out calm and I had a nice walk. I didn't get a picture but I saw a new sign "I make wine disappear, what's your magic trick?"

After getting back and making
breakfast, we walked over to visit Rob and Pat for a 'chat'. Every time we
mention a ‘chat’ to Pat, she starts wondering what we’re up to. I guess we need
to word it differently because we basically just wanted to re-touch on our
route plans for heading home. Things have changed over the last few days from a
week ago. We pinned a few more ‘possibles’ on our calendars and some were
changed into ‘probables’ with ‘definites’ still hanging in the balance.

Back home, I set about making up
Jell-o dishes and did a bit of crocheting. Bill and Rob took a drive to the Yuma
Airmodelers air field for a couple of hours. They enjoyed some great planes and
even better flyers. Bill said Rob really enjoyed the entertainment. At 1:30 I took a walk up to the pool since I hadn’t been in
for a few days. The pool area was packed but I found an empty lounge chair and
settled back near the seating area, facing the sun.

The water is so warm but alone, I
just swam around for about 10 minutes before getting out and stretching out on
the chair. The wind gave me the chills but the sun was so nice. At 2:00, I
flipped over to dry the backside of my suit and I got a text from Ken and Kim
saying they were in the area. “Yes, come for a visit!". At 2:30 I was dry
enough to walk back home. They arrived a few minutes later.

It was so nice to see them! We set chairs out on the west side of the Suite and all 6
of us enjoyed a good couple of hours. I guess it turned into Happy Hour, really
our first real outdoor one since we’ve arrived here. They said goodbye around 5
with promises to see them either tomorrow night at Pilot Knob or at least on
Wednesday. What a nice couple they are, we are all so glad to have made their acquaintance
this winter.

We’d decided on a simpler supper than
originally planned mainly because the pork tenderloin was not completely thawed. Poor
planning there. So, instead we turned the switch on to electric power and I
preheated the air fryer for fries and pork meatballs. At 5:30, things began to
cook. Rob popped over with a couple of chicken wings that Pat had cooked in
their air fryer. They were very hot (to the touch) but they were very good!

Supper was ready shortly after 6 and
Bill gave the fries a thumbs up. Woops, forgot the picture! We were hungry. The
meatballs were good too and we had a nice easy clean up. We shared a couple
of meatballs with our neighbours. 😊 After dishes, I focused on finishing
my blog so I could either sit and crochet or read before I got too tired. It
was a nice day today in the sun, some at the pool and some at home.

There is nothing on tv worth watching
tonight again, so we spent a quiet night together. I hope you had a good day.
Thank you for the visit today.
