Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Dec. 2nd when I saw the light of day (so to speak), it was 5:45. I know I'd slept right through and there were dreams still lingering in my head. I was out of bed just after 6:30 causing Bill" to ask you are getting up?"

Good morning!

It is laundry day so we sorted clothes, Bill hopped in the shower and then we walked over to start the machines. One of the guests, a younger man whom I've quite grown to like, (he reminds me of my son, Patrick) was already loading 2 machines so we took the 3rd.

Gibbs helps me with the tools
while I brush him.
See Mom, I can walk with one sock on!

It meant the whole process took longer than usual as we needed 2 loads as well. Bill left for the flying field and when I switched machines I stayed and worked on the puzzle until the loads were finished. It was around 9:30 when I chatted with Sue in the office and returned home to Gibbs.

Hard thing to get 'everyone'
on board with dog poop.
Two signs on the fence into the
dog park, will it work?

I continued on with card making, getting quite a few done. I did locate the 'hiding' spot where I had put the purchased Christmas cards from last year. We didn't send any out because of the strike, so had lots. Bill was home at 11:30 and we had lunch together.

At 1 pm, he worked on his planes and I walked over to play Pokeno. Deb joined us, as did our new guest, Anne Marie and Bj. We had fun, just the 4 of us. Sue was too busy with office work so couldn't play but at least now I know we have 2 new players for as long as they are willing. I didn't win today, but there's always next week!

Pina Coladas please!

When I returned home, Ken and Kim pulled up and Tom and Deb joined us for a brief Happy Hour under the shelter. We met Gayle and John at Silly Al's a few minutes after 4 and got seated at a nice bright table. I like to see my food clearly and it was the perfect table.

My meat lovers pizza

We were not disappointed, never are, with our pizzas. Bill had his Hawaiian and I had my meat lovers and we each had a pina colada. Oh yum. We didn't realize until we got the bill that we were there over their 'happy hour' entitling us all to $1 off our drinks. 🍹

The gang's all here!
It was nice to meet up with my 
sister and her hubby before
they moved on to Mexico.

With plans to meet up again, individually or in a group, we said our goodbyes. Ken drove Bill and I home and they headed out to Roadrunner where they were camped with Gayle and John. 

Before leaving Silly Al's,
this was the sky to the west.

Before I went inside at home,
this was the sky.

The day was great from beginning to end. We made it to 69F/18C but it felt cool unless you were in the sun.

To the east, the moon was
also performing.
Good night.

Thank you for your visit today.

Electric Bill Monday, No One for Poker Pool

Park Place RV Park

On Monday, we welcomed a new month. December 1st came in with a chill in the air but warmer than it has been at 6 am. I didn't sleep well last night, awake again at 3:30. It sounds like Bill was awake a bit too. Hmm, grounding sheet must be taking a holiday! 😟

Good morning!

We had a really busy morning, Bill working on a shelf for one of the storage sheds for Fred. I also experienced somewhat of a 'rush' with people playing electric bills. Sue and Angie both were out for appointments today.

So cute!💖

Bill and I had lunch together and went back at it for the afternoon. Time flew by and before we knew it, we were back home waiting for a reservation guest to arrive from Blyth. She arrived with a new 30' Class C, really nice and we got her settled in by 6.

just before sunset

Supper was shrimp and chips for Bill and shrimp and root vegetables for me. 

Supper was good.

We cleaned up the pots, loaded the dishwasher and sat to watch a Christmas movie. Yes, I'm watching the odd one since there is nothing else on I want to watch.

Is this a sad looking little puppy
or what? 

Today, Gibbs got out for 3 walks and at the end of the day we noticed he has been licking a paw quite a bit.  I slipped a baby sock on it and wrapped it tightly enough to keep it on. It didn't seem to bother him and tomorrow I'll add coconut oil to it.

It looks broken, but that's the way
he sleeps, like a little poser.

We reached 66F/17C but with sunny skies, it was pretty nice. There was a cool breeze that made a light sweater necessary if I was out for long. We had a great day, all 3 of us.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping by.
