Hump Day and Heat Day

Park Place RV Resort

Thursday, Mar. 2nd arrived and at 7:30, it was above 50F/10C. Another great morning for our walk, no jackets for either of us, just a hoody for me. 😊 

The desert is quiet this morning

4 small planes flew over as we walked
The first one, that I missed, was really low
I couldn't see these through the camera lens
so I'm surprised I got them at all

Bill left to go flying and Gibbs and I spent a couple of hours together before I went over to work on the puzzle. That was 9:30 and boy did 66F/19C ever feel hot! There was no wind so Bill would be having a good flying morning.

I had help playing my Wordle games
We didn't do great regardless

We both returned home around 11:30 and I made bacon and eggs for lunch today. Gibbs did a lot of barking today for some reason, yesterday he seemed to have listened to Bill much better. ☹ 


We sat outside together while he charged his batteries again, it’s something he has to do after each day flying. Being prepared for the next day. I went back to the clubhouse at 1 and was finished it by 2. Another one bites the dust.

doesn't he look cool?
Both definitions of the word. 💓

I sat inside with my sweeties and delved into the new book. This one is called The Alice Network by Kate Quinn. Just like the last one, it’s different and yet by the end of the first chapter, I was hooked.


Inside, we tried to relax but it was pretty warm
No wonder with this 23 lb. lug on me!

He knows he is a Hallmark card

When the air inside the Suite was 89F/32C and the outside temp was the same, I decided I had to go out. At least there was a breeze outside. 😊 It will be hotter tomorrow, so they say, so the a/c will be set to come on first thing.

this is how I left the puzzle at noon

Then walked away at 2 with it finished.
One corner piece missing so I'll mark the box as such
This was a fun one.

For supper, we agreed on bacon cheeseburgers so we didn’t have to cook indoors. As always, they were wonderful. This was a new box of 100% sirloin burgers and their thickness is what we look for. 

With the dishwasher running, we are truly spoiled now by not having to do dishes, we relaxed for the night. We had a program on the PVR to watch and I worked on my blog while it played.

When I sat outside with Gibbs, where it was cooler with a breeze,
all he did was pine for Daddy inside

Do you want to go in the house?
I read this as a yes. LOL😂

This was a great day, we are enjoying the heat and right now, don’t have a care in the world. 😊  

When we walked this morning, this
semi had pulled out of the Arco station
and had a problem
He needed a tow which took about an hour to get him
off the highway.

Sorry for the delay,
Good nith!


Thank you for stopping in.

The Heat is On, We Must be in Arizona!

Park Place RV Resort

On Tuesday, March 1st we welcomed in the new month like a lamb. Not even considering how much of a lion it will be on the 31st! 😂 It was 48F/9C when Gibbs and I went for our walk at 7:30. When we returned, Bill was on his way to Black Beauty with his flying gear. 🛪🛧 There wasn’t a titch of a breeze, the flags were limp in a state of slumber. We knew the heat was to arrive today with a vengeance with a high of 82F/28C. Everyone in the park is smiling about that.

Now, isn't this a pretty sky?

No jacket required today for this little guy

Gibbs and I sat together for a couple of hours, him up on the back of my chair and me reading. This book is hard to put down now that I’m into it. Because I was so engrossed in it, I didn’t make a coffee and walk over to the clubhouse until 10:30. Things were bustling in there with Rick delivering our electric bills for February, Patty accepting payments as well as reservations for the next winter season. A lot of regulars come back. Get this, $24 for the month. Yay for solar! We think this is a prime location and obviously so do others. 😊

Watching Daddy leave
with the little Palm Bay bottle he found

Bill texted that he was home from flying at 11:45 so I walked back at noon. He had a sweet happy smile on his face after taking his new plane up and landing it after a good flight. The maiden flight of a plane is always intimidating so this success, all on his own is a pleasant experience. We made ourselves a meat, cheese, lettuce sandwich/wrap and instead of returning to the puzzle, I stayed home and read.

Show them what you've got, Gibbs
He gets to play with for only so long, they are very strong little bottles

It was warm inside the Suite, even with windows open, blinds closed, fans going and awnings out so we sat outside on the patio for the rest of the afternoon. Bill was able to recharge his batteries for the planes out there and Gibbs and I did our own thing. I managed to finish the book, no surprise, it’s like the pages were turning themselves. It is such a good book, heartbreaking at times but a very interesting story.

It's like this little guy didn't get enough sleep last night!
He was zonkered

After I took Gibbs for his walk around the park, we all moved indoors at 5 where the little guy crashed on the floor. We watched some reruns of NCIS before supper, which was leftover potatoes and pork for Bill and I heated some chicken strips with a veggie for me. Well, the potatoes always look so good that I snuck a few little pieces for my plate! ♥ Supper was good and leftovers cleaned up again for another night. I love leftovers!

My chicken strips were good as was everything else
Gee, I wish I'd kept some of that pie for tonight!

With the dishwasher running, we settled in for the evening. The air temp outside has dropped to 77F/24C where it settled until 8 when it slowly dropped to our warmest low in a while of 52F at 5 am . Now that’s nice for sleeping. This was a great day and we enjoyed it to the fullest. 😊

For us rv'ers, this is a familiar sight and occurence 
Our hosts, Rick and Patty

Good night!
