The Weather Changed Back to ‘Summer’, Yay!

La Posa South, Quartzsite, Az On Sunday, Jan. 23rd, we were all up around 7:30 and Gibbs and I scooted out right away for our walk. The sky was clear and with no wind, the 43F/6C made for a lovely walk. We both (Bill and I) felt like doing a happy dance when we saw the sun and knew it would be with us all day. Even the solar panels were smiling. 😊

After our tea and coffee, we took Gibbs along and went into town. It was around 9:45 when we reached the entrance to the RV Show/Tent and it was busy enough already. We weren’t going in today so carried on first to Coyote Fresh Foods for a few groceries. I couldn’t remember what prices were like compared to our usual Roadrunner Market. Well, I came out empty handed because of the higher costs. Be warned, for eg. 2% milk jug - $4.45, half & half cream/litre - $4.49 and it goes on from there. We drove to the Chevron to fill our gas can and then to Roadrunner. 2% milk jug - $4.09, half & half cream/litre - $3.49. They will continue to get our business.

Plus, I found bacon ‘pieces’ for ridiculously low prices which are a whole lot better than paying $8 anywhere for half as much. 😊 Lastly, we filled a propane tank that ‘still’ wasn’t empty after a very long time but it was really close as it took 9 gal. We had nowhere else to go so we returned home.

What do you think? All this for only $24. I vote for Roadrunner Market. :) I sat outside with Gibbs and read for a while and at 12:30 I made us French toast for lunch. Thanks Rick and Kathy for the suggestion. Sometimes I need a hint of what to have to change our meals up and his looked pretty darn good. ♥ Let me tell you, it tasted pretty darn good to us too!

The Pit Stop was crazy busy for dumping, but we drove right up for a propane fill with no wait. The guys here are really good. After dishes, it turned into a really slack day. I did get myself all frustrated trying to learn how to crochet the blanket from the centre and will surely rip-it out. It doesn’t help that the wool is blended but I have so much of it, I just want to use it up. A blanket seemed the best choice but, remember, I’m not very good at this crochet thing.

The French toast was yummy. I packed it up, closed the laptop with the video I was following, and went outside with my book again. This was safe and something that I excelled at! The sun felt great and I was thankful for the breeze. Bill was in and out at different times and we had a cold drink around 4:30 before he took Gibbs for a nice long walk to the south. 😉

So, if you're tired of seeing Gibbs in my pictures, sorry. However, he is the joy of our life right now and I can't help it! So, I found a pack of 4 pork chops today that are very thin but under $5 so thought there’s a couple of cheap meals. We’re barbecuing 2 tonight and I’ll reheat my leftover pizza on the grill too. Inside, I’ll fry the leftover potatoes and veggies for Bill since he isn’t fond of leftover pizza anyway. We’ll both be happy and clean some things up too.

He loves this bag chair and these positions all took place within 3 minutes. He could entertain an audience! ♥ The temperature was a nice improvement today over yesterday, reaching 68F/20C. Beautiful! Around 6, we started. Bill lit the Weber and chatted with the neighbour, who was gathering pretty stones, while it heated. The pizza heated up perfectly and the chops got moved over to Bill’s plate. I didn’t need any after all as I had quite enough on my plate. 😊

Spending quality time with Daddy.

Plays hard, sleeps hard. After dishes, I worked at my post and we turned tv on to watch a couple of programs. The generator started with a little encouragement tonight again. Yay! Thus ends a wonderful day here in the desert.

My leftover pizza was um, um good! Good night! Thank you for your visit today.
