More Packup, The ‘Fix’, A Good Last Day, Birthday Wishes

Park Place RV

Thursday, Mar. 31^st was our last day in this park. The routine started out pretty normal, with a walk for Gibb and I, Bill driving once more to the field to say goodbye to Wayne, a regular from this area. We both showered and then walked over to the clubhouse to talk about our plans for the next winter season. We had a nice chat with Heather, Don and Patty and left them feeling quite welcome here. 😊

Another lovely morning walk
with my little buddy

Vroom!

Bill and I drove into town, he wanted one more walk through K & B Tools and I wanted to stop at Ken’s Grocery tent. What else did we do? We went into the Quartzsite Outpost store further down Main St.

this store is easy to find
Just look for the army vehicles out front

Bill found a couple of things he needed/wanted and we picked up a couple of window screen kits to replace the ones in the door that need it. We were home before lunch and Bill had a toasted tomato sandwich and I had a vegetable quesadilla.

Unfortunately, they are closing for the season either
on the weekend or Wednesday
We're glad we came today and found what we wanted

Today, I was excited because it was hair appointment day in the desert. Judy’s Salon is opening for business for Gayle and I to get our haircuts today. We stopped first at Quiet Times, the delivery/courier outlet, to pick up a parcel for Gayle and then headed out to La Posa South. I still forgot to get a picture of their sites, close but not on top of each other. 😊 LOL, my brain!

Beautiful!

Gayle offered her Montana for the hair cut since she has a big open space right inside their entrance. Judy was all prepared with her cape and scissors but I had taken some water in a spray bottle and my hand-held mirror. It took a couple of cuts before I was satisfied ‘all to heck!’. 😊 Judy did a great job and I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks. I should have taken a before photo though.

Could my head of thin hair afford to lose this much? 😂

Apparently, so!
I love what Judy did to my hair
The before picture showed mostly 2 lengths at the back
and this is what I was going for

This is going to be so much easier to look after
Now, I'm a happy camper again!

We walked back to Judy and Gary’s home where Judy showed us her crafts. Oh my! She puts my attempts at everything I do to shame! She is quite talented and very modest about it. I had to take a picture of her style of quilts to show our quilting buddy, they are different but still lovely! I don’t even know if I can call what I do with embroidery cross stitching! Hers are quite professional looking. ♥ Thank you for sharing that, Judy!

This is quite unique and her style with fringed edges

then we looked at her latest counted cross stitch project

Oh, don't worry. Gary has his own hobbies
This boat and a couple of remote control airplanes
share space in their bedroom

Back home, we relaxed outside for a while, enjoying the fresh air. It has been quite a nice day, for our last one in the park. We did not feel the need to turn the a/c on as it only reached 81F/27C and, again, it is good practice for the next 4 days. 😊 We came in around 5:00 and by 5:30 my tummy was calling for food. Bill grilled his wonderful bacon cheeseburgers and inside I made a garden salad. More than opening a bag this time!

Bill put a few things away before and after supper
With supervision, of course
Mom, look, Daddy came from down there

And now he's all the way up there! 💓

Another great burger meal

We loaded the dishwasher and sat together for the evening. Bill wrote a new post today on his blog, On Our Way. Please check it out, if you haven't already, as it is a great wrap up, without all the babble of my blog, of things going on.
