Countdown, Ain’t They Pretty? Last Scheduled Day

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Mar. 30^th we were up by 7. Gibbs slept in until 6:30 and I had a late night so could’ve stayed in bed longer. We had scheduled for Coronas to come and wash Black Beauty and the Suite this morning at 9 so wanted to have things taken care of before then. Our breakfasts, our washups and Bill wanted to take the weather station down.

Good morning

With those things done, and a quick windy walk with Gibbs, I left at 9 for the clubhouse. We are down to our last 2 days here and my last ‘official’ game of Ladies Poker Pool.  ☹ It has been fun, I’ll tell you that, and this is a great bunch of ladies to play it with. 

Dora provided snacks today in honour
of my last official game 💖

They will carry on all summer, there will be 4 of them left. As much as I enjoy it, no thankyou, I don’t want to stay in the Arizona summer heat.

7 of us playing today
L to R
Sheila, Adele, Susan, Barb, Dora, Patti, Me
I'll miss them

I kept watching out of the window of the clubhouse but our detailers didn’t show up until 11. At least they showed up and the 2 young men did an awesome job in 2 hours. Other than their tardiness, we would recommend them to anyone and will use them another year.  Patti and Rick pass their card along to anyone who asks, for good reason. Bill paid them and we had toasted westerns for lunch. Our house and vehicle were pretty and ready for the trek homeward.

They did a great job

Gibbs behaved very well inside

He supervised from indoors 💓

Instead of going back to the clubhouse, the puzzle was completed this morning while waiting to play pool, I sat with Bill and Gibbs and finished my book. It was a page turner and it felt peaceful and relaxing to take the time to read. I took Gibbs for our later walk around 6 and then we had air fried shrimp and fries for supper. Yum, it was so good.

I'll put it away tomorrow so I can bring it home

Lunch and supper

Today, we had a strange weather day. It only reached 66F/19C, compared to yesterday’s 77F/25C and with the stronger winds at 21 mph (gusts to 29.5), it felt even cooler. 

There are those clouds again
Gorgeous

Tomorrow morning is laundry day so I have gathered the chair coverings, floor mats and towels/face and dish cloths for easy sorting. I hope to be up and over to the laundromat early. 😉 An awesome day with a couple of hugs from Barb and Dora in case I miss them tomorrow. ♥

Today's biggest progresses
Good night!

Thank you for the visit.

Laundry, Avon, Puzzle, Pool

Park Place RV Park

The title of my post today pretty much sums up my Wednesday, Mar. 29^th. We were up around 7 am and while Bill had his shower, I took the bed sheets and chair quilts over to the laundromat. Gerald had a load of clothes in the dryer at 7:15 but the washers were free. I used two. When they finished, I hung them on the clotheslines. It was a beautiful morning, one of the warmest yet, already 54F/13C, even with some clouds.

The morning sky was made great
by the clouds

Gibbs and I went for our walk and when we returned an hour after hanging them, the sheets and quilts were dry. 😊 Bill walked over with me to retrieve them and we made the bed together. It is easier with two of us, especially in an rv. At 10, we’d invited an Avon rep to come to the clubhouse for a ‘party’. My status as a representative has expired and the girls were looking for some things I recommended.

Ah, freshly dried bedding

yesterday at the Outpost

Sammi is young and said this was her first party. She brought all of her product and set up a great display with samples and small gifts for everyone. There were 7 of us and when she left, she had made sales close to $100. She was quite thrilled and deserved to be proud. I was able to stock up on a couple of things that we were running low of. I was glad she had product for purchase since ordering at this late date didn’t work for me. We’ll have her back in the fall!

This is only 1/4 of the product she brought

Bill had things at home cleaned up. The barbecue, the patio mat and he had removed the generator from the back and packed things in the ‘basement’ by the time I returned. We had lunch and I walked back to work on the puzzle. Susan joined me and then 7 of us played Poker Pool, just because. 😊 Gerald had never played so we invited him to join us 6 ladies and learned how to play ‘our’ way. I think he enjoyed himself and realized how difficult it is. He’s a pool shark too!

Today was a landscape of clouds

So there was a lot of snapping with my camera

Each time I looked in a different direction,
Gibbs waited for me to take another picture

Back home at 3:30, we had a visit from our neighbour and chatted about a few things for half hour. Nice guy and he knows someone from Woodstock, Ontario, an hour away from our Ridge back home. 

Bill has things put away
Check in tomorrow to see why.

At 5:45, I started supper. Baked pork chops scalloped potatoes and a vegetable were on the menu with the last of the pineapple cheesecake for dessert. It all tasted great. After clean up, we watched a couple of programs while recording Farmer Takes a Wife.

In the gravel, even weeds are pretty

Good supper
and
Good night!

This was yet another bonus day and we have enjoyed it all. Thank you for the visit.
