Pilot Knob RV Resort, Winterhaven, CA
On
Monday, Feb. 3rd we were making an appearance downstairs at 6:30.
With another batch of shingles that appeared late yesterday afternoon, I was
slow moving this morning. First full day is painful but I applied my cream,
took a pill and I left Bill at home and went out for a brisk walk. Don’t focus on it, I tell myself,
and it isn’t such a big deal.

We left
the house around 8:30 after getting cleaned up for the day. The weather people
got it right when they forecast cooler weather. It has arrived and after
sleeping through with no heat last night, Bill had turned our heat pump up
enough to take the chill off the Suite. It was 57F outside and 64F inside. The
problem was the wind. It was gusting between 14 – 20 mph. and we were happy to have chosen our jackets before we left home.

Today, we
drove to pick Keith up and headed to Los Algodones for Bill’s 9 o’clock dental
appointment. The endodontist was finishing his root canal now that the abscessed
area had healed. Keith and I left him in the waiting room and we walked around
the vendors. It was cool out there and every so often the gusts of wind would
have me closing my eyes, even behind my glasses, to prevent the sand from
getting in.

I had a
mission and with Keith’s help, I was successful in getting grandchildren’s
gifts before we headed back to meet up with Bill. His appointment was delayed
by a surgery that Dr. Hernandez had to tend to prior to 9 am but other than
that, Bill came out smiling and happy with the results. He will be going back
tomorrow for a root canal on the tooth right beside it. Not something I envy at all. Keith and I are
prepared to wander the streets again and I appreciate the company while we
wait.

Back in
Arizona, we went to Sam’s Club for coffee, bacon and a couple of other items
and then to Hobby Lobby so Bill could pick up the paint he needs to finish his
model car. While in there, I checked out the wool, 30% off, and came out with 3
balls for a new project. When we returned home, we were famished and tired out.
I’d already managed to meet my steps requirement for the day and it was only
12:30!

I made us
sausages and eggs for lunch and I had mine in a wrap. Ooh, that was good! We
dozed in our chairs, one of us better than the other (teehee) and read our
books while listening to the wind howl. At 3, I texted Kim to see if there was
any interest in getting together and of course, she said yes. With the cooler
air and uncomfortable winds, we were invited inside their Journey. I texted
Keith and extended the invite to him as well.

Once we assembled in the coach, we called
Suzie (at her request). Putting her on speaker, we all said hello and had a wonderful
conversation. Her main message was that we don’t have to worry, she is doing
fine. It was great to hear her uplifting voice as she moves on with her life.

We
probably overstayed our welcome (again) but Kim and Ken didn’t seem to mind.

It
was after 5:30 when we all said goodnight, parted ways and returned home for
supper. I reheated our roast beef, gravy, veggies, the last potato and put some
salad out. It was a filling meal and tasted very good. I love the gravy flavor!
When dishes were done, I sat with this post and Bill sat to watch America’s Got
Talent.

We don’t
always agree with the judge’s choices, but it is entertaining and now that they
are down to 6 contestants, something we don’t want to miss. Bull was on next and we watched it together. This has been a full
day and we have enjoyed every bit of it. I hope your day was great too.
