Park Place RV Park
On Tuesday, Nov. 7th I slept in until 6:30 and slowly made the move to get up. I had nothing on my agenda, nor did Bill- really. We had our first morning drinks outside together on the patio. 😊 It was around 67F/19C. Of course, Bill had to tease Rick and Patti, behind us, when we saw them sitting out on theirs. They were in hoodies and long pants. We were in shorts and tees. It is totally understandable, they endured 120F/49C this past summer so 70 would feel cold!
As I watched for the sun to rise over the mountain,
Gibbs sat with Daddy and watched me.
Pop!
Gibbs and
I went for our walk and Bill puttered. He doesn’t have a plane to fly so was
actually content (enough) staying home. He is the president of the Quartzsite Desert
Flyers and with a meeting tomorrow, he had some preparation to work on. When we
returned from the walk, I grabbed my purse and went up to the Family Dollar by
myself. I wasn’t sure what I’d find but other than mouthwash, I just wanted to
peruse.
Our walk
check out the price of diesel
$3.99/gal.
It has been dropping ever since we arrived.
Of
course, I found ‘things’. On the 50% off rack, there were 3 summer tops that
found their way into my cart. From $7 to $5, I thought the deal was good at
$3.50 and $2.50. Both the sales clerk and I were surprised when they were 50%
off THOSE prices. That’s almost as good as our clothing exchange! 😊 I was warm by the time I got back, but I was happy to be
back in the swing of walking.
I found a painted rock on the bench
along the way
Palo verde trees, my favourite
and the Family Dollar
We
decided not to turn the a/c on and as the day wore on, it was the right one. We
have been running on solar power every day since we arrived, with the exception
of yesterday, so that will save on the hydro bill at the end of the month. I
set things up in the gazebo for an afternoon of painting and went to work. I
don’t have many rocks but the few I have, were finished and shellacked.
My walkway along S. Plymouth Ave.
Bottom picture is a residence, nice
with the saguaros.
For
lunch, we had some of the cheese bread and Bill cleaned up the mac and cheese.
I painted some more and was so enthralled, I forgot to get a picture of the set
up. Tomorrow, I guess. Around 1:30, Bill and Gibbs were dozing so I walked over
to see about starting a new puzzle. There was a group of about 10 ready to play
Pokeno and Adele had a puzzle started, border done. Yay! 😊
The puzzle we're working on
today
While
they played, I worked away at it. I was home before 4 and poured myself a beer
margarita. We all sat outside together until closer to 5:15 when we came in and
had a ‘chair’ snooze. For supper, I made us a toasted Western and then I worked
on this post. Bill put an old movie on called Strategic Air Command or
something like that! 😊 Jimmy Stewart is always worth a
watch so I finished and watched it with him.
Gibbs did his best to find a cool spot.
He even has a bed of gravel cleared under the truck
This was a great day. We reached 83F/28C and it will cool down tomorrow for a few days.
