Pilot Knob RV Resort, Winterhaven, CA
On
Wednesday, Feb. 26th we woke up together, around 6:30 and got up to
greet another beautiful day. We had one important thing FIRST on our morning
agenda. So, I dialed the number of our buddy, Pat, back home. It was an original version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
YOU! in unison.
 |
| Happy Birthday, Pat! |
Let me tell you, she must have been so surprised to hear such
lovely voices in the morning! 😊 She thanked us heartily for the phone call and we said
goodbye.

Bill had
another phone call to make right away. He called Camping World to cancel the delivery
of a second toilet! Yes, yesterday afternoon he got an email from them stating
that our toilet would be shipped within the next day or two. Remember that we already have our toilet installed in the Suite. LOL how do these
places stay in business? We don’t need another toilet and were only charged for
one. It isn’t as if it was an Instant Pot or anything that I might be tempted
to keep! This should be taken care of immediately, or so Durell assured us.
 |
| More than a buzzing overhead had me looking up |
I went
for a morning walk alone and Bill had his shower while I was gone. We had a
bite to eat; toast for Bill and Cheerios with cream for me, before making
ourselves a coffee for the road. At 10:30 MT we left to meet Lori, Roland, Judy
and Oscar who are camped at Holtville Hot Springs LTVA.

| The drive to Holtville is very pretty |
 |
| And on the wind swept sand hills, a few quads were 'playing' |
 |
| It was busy enough for a Wednesday |
We wanted to be sure to
see them before we leave the area on Saturday. It was great to see them all and
we had a very nice visit. Thank you, Lori, for the delicious bran muffins!

This is where Oscar, Judy, Roland and Lori
are set up this winter |
We left
around 1 MT and settled in at home for about an hour and a half before Happy
Hour. The sun was gorgeous and it was a warm 66F so I put my shorts on and sat
outside with my book. Bill snoozed inside; he was the one to have a bumpy
night’s sleep last night. It was only for about an hour that I was out there but I enjoyed the
peacefulness and managed to read a few more chapters. I dropped off for a few
minutes too.

When I
came inside at 2:30, I mixed us up blended Miami Vice drinks which tasted more
like Pina Coladas. I didn’t mind that at all and I don’t think Bill did either.
They were tasty drinks for a change. Doug had gone into town today and texted
to let us know that he wouldn’t be joining us for Happy Hour. We all hope he
had a good day and managed to get a few things taken care of on his shopping
trip.

| Hot Springs Long Term Visitor Area |
We had a
nice visit and managed to cover ground on a lot of movies that we’ve watched
and enjoyed over the years. We all have favourites and the more we talked, more
titles were mentioned. Some books were discussed too and now I need to go to
the clubhouse before we leave and see if a couple that Ken has read are still up there. It was
close to 5:30 when we said goodnight after making plans for one more trip into Yuma
tomorrow.
 |
| Back home, these little birds were enjoying the seed bell |
Bill and
I waited until 6 before he lit the Weber and heated up the Fry Daddy. There
were a few fries and a few hash browns in the freezer to eat up and we’d bought
2 Bacon wrapped Tenderloin filets for grilling. Bill had the Hickory Smoked and I had
the Peppered flavor. Inside, I cooked some mixed veggies. As it turned out, the
steak were perfectly cooked and even though the fries were tasty, they were a
little too crunchy. The next bag will not be the crispy flavor.
 |
| I love the 'step' levels on the Pilot Knob mountains behind us |
For
dessert, I had dished up the last of the Jell-o so we were cleaning up a few
things tonight. That will make room in the freezer for more when we shop tomorrow. Bill washed
the dishes and I dried and put them away. Now it was time to sit and watch some tv. Tonight, we watched Live PD and then we chose America’s Top Dog for
something new to watch. Bill relaxed after dishes and switched to a couple of our recorded
programs.
 |
| Supper for tonight |
This has been
a great day today with perfect weather. It was great to see our Dryden
friends before we all head home. That was on our 'must do' list while here.

Good night from Pilot Knob Resort
