On Tuesday, Apr. 2nd I was
awake at 6:30 but didn’t get up until closer to 7. This was more like the time
I like to rise. By the time I got downstairs, it was light enough to add my
layers for a walk. There was no wind just the normal brisk air of an early
morning in Ohio. It was 34F/1.1C. The sky was covered in clouds but to the
east, there was a photo opportunity while the sun played tag with the clouds.

| Good Morning, Tuesday! |
I got over a mile in, walking all around
the park, before I returned to the warmth of the Suite. My tea always tastes so
much better after I’ve been out in the cold, kind of like a reward. Good girl! 😊 We read a few blogs and I copied a couple of Instant Pot recipes into my
Word documents and then got breakfast underway. Now that I’m enjoying salsa
with my bacon and eggs, I’ll have to look online for an easy recipe and make
some with this year’s tomatoes.
We cleaned up dishes and ourselves
and Rob came over around 9 to help Bill work on our bedroom slide once more. I debated
on going to the pool/hot tub today so pulled my bathing suit and towel out of
the closet, just in case. I won’t be able to get up there once they start. Around
11:30 the boys were finished working and the slide-out had another temporary
fix. It still needs some attention to the cable mechanism but that is something
CanAm will need to address for us.

| Mr. Robin at our door No, you can't come in |
Rob and Bill had a coffee and a
couple of Nutter Butters, not much of a thankyou for Rob but for now we hope it
will suffice. His help means a lot as they work well together. While they did
that, I needed to be available to pull the slide in and out when they asked me
to. Not a big part in the action, but a necessary one. I kept myself busy by
finishing up an infinity scarf but decided at the last minute not to join the
ends. Instead, it will be one I can lay across my shoulders, around my neck and
close with a button.

| Another little project finished |
Then next, I was trying to figure out
how to do a simple crochet maneuver while I waited and ended up more frustrated
than the boys. I’m going to ask Kim if she knows how to do it. I ended up
giving that idea up and using up the last of the wool by knitting another
scarf. Hopefully there is enough to finish one. At 1:30 the temperature had
risen to 49F/10C and the sun ruled the sky. I texted Pat about a walk and
together we walked on the Journey’s door and asked Ken if Kim could come out to
play.

We walked for an hour and it was leisurely
and quite enjoyable, catching up and talking about whatever. Sadly, for me, Kim
doesn’t know the crochet thing I spoke about so just as good that I had
abandoned that idea.

| And a teensy bit of fun was had |
It was agreed that we would all meet at their place for
Happy Hour so at 3:15 we made a drink and gathered next door. Rob and Pat joined us a few minutes later. We
had a great Happy Hour, well, Happy 3 hours. LOL the time does fly when you’re
having fun!

| Simple tasty supper |
It was shortly after 6 when we all
parted ways and I got the air fryer out for chicken nuggets. I cooked corn for
Bill and cauliflower for me and together it was a nice easy supper. We cleaned
up dishes and I worked on this post.
This is another busy tv night for us, as
you know, so we settled in for the evening. Well, I didn’t make it to the pool
but it was a good day. Our slide is on the mend for another little while and we’ve
had a nice visit with our good friends, Kim and Ken.

| Goodnight y'all! |
I hope your day was a good one as
well. Thank you for stopping in. your comments are greatly appreciated.
