Coffee Hour.......and Nothing!

Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Mar. 4th I woke up the sound of Gibbs in a wee growl. With my window beside me open, his hearing detected a lady walking her wee dog by our site. It was 4:15 and no, it wasn't Nancy. 😅

Good morning!

"Go back to sleep", was our command to Gibbs and we all followed suit. Next thing, after a few fits and starts, it was 6 and my boys were going out for 'their' walkabout. That's when it hit me that I was still tired and dropped off until almost 7:30. Nice.

Bill left for the field. It was a calm morning for the pilots so they like to get their early. I wanted to make sure the snacks I bought for coffee hour were fresh enough to offer. They would be fine, although not as good as homemade, after a bit of a warm up before taking them over. And they were.

Renae did the white puppy,
and this is how I left the puzzle
at noon.

Unfortunately, there wasn't time to get out with Gibbs before I had to take them over at 8:50. Angie came in at 9 and made a pot of coffee, kind of surprised that I had not done so. Nope! I don't do coffee when I don't know what strength people like it. Mine would probably be too weak.

The little snacks were a hit.

There were 8 of us today and the snack seemed suitable enough, with only raspberry square left. I enjoyed talking to Mae this morning, she is also interested in learning to paper quill. We've planned that for when we meet here next winter, God willing.

Another pretty sky

I worked on the puzzle until noon and came home to have my leftover pizza. Warmed up in Rosy, my air fryer, it was just as tasty and still guilt-free as it was last night. I worked on the shamrock quilling design rather than go to the puzzle right away. 

All done, so cute!

When I was ready for St. Patrick's day, (haha) I moved on to a couple of greeting cards. I walked to the clubhouse at 3:30 to finish the puzzle and was pleased that Renae actually worked on it earlier. I know she enjoys them as much as I do. It only took 15 minutes and I was back home again.

The 3 of us sat under the canopy until it was time to start grilling supper. Bill cooked our sausages and I prepared coleslaw as our side. At 6, one of our favourite shows to watch, Survivor 50, came on so we finished eating in good time.

Just the right amount for me.

This was a good, hot day and we spent it as easily as we could without too much physical activity. We enjoyed the 83F/26C.

Let's go back in time to a 
great memory at Elephant Butte Lake State Park.
Clemson (pre-Gibbs), Bill and I.
Good night!

Thank you for popping in.





Doing Our Own Thing, Flying, Pokeno, Happy Hour, Silly Al's

Park Place RV Park

On Tuesday, Mar. 3rd it was a leisurely wake up. That felt good and so did the fact that I had no where I had to be anytime soon. My window and all the rest of the Suite's windows were open and a nice waft of air was coming in.

Good morning!
A check in the dog park for p-mail.

Today was forecasted to be even a bit cooler than yesterday but it began as a very calm morning. Bill had his breakfast and left to go to the flying field. I had my tea and then my shower. Gibbs and I got out shortly after 9, dropped the office phone off with Rusty and went for a walk.

Then we got ourselves tangled in the
chair legs for a snooze.

What a lovely morning! I did a bit of quilling on the St. Pat's plaque and then sat out with Gibbs in the gazebo. He let me know when he was ready to go inside and went up on the bed where the breeze was really nice, coming in my little window. Smart pup!

While I was reading my Satellite 
Sisters book, this page was good
enough info to copy and keep.
Good points about conversing
with others.

When Bill got home around 11, I hopped in Black Beauty and drove to Coyote Fresh Foods. Sue and Fred are taking a bit of a break from the park and asked if I would pick up a morning snack for Wednesday morning coffee hour.

Happy Hour before dinner

Bill and I had lunch together and I walked over to lose as many pennies as possible at Pokeno. 😂 Well, I sure was on the unfortunate luck side of today's games. There were 8 of us to start but BJ left halfway through our first games.

Gibbs knew we were leaving him
on home duty,
so got in position to wait for his treat.

Deb and I walked back just on time for Happy Hour with the gang. Kim, Ken, Deb, Tom, Bill, Gibbs and I chatted it up with an alcoholic beverage before heading out to meet Dave and Joan at Silly Al's. As usual, Bill and I enjoyed our pizzas, I had cauliflower crust meat lovers and it was very good.

I was ready for this!

Their cauliflower crust pizza is good.
I  behaved for this meal. 😊

I didn't get a picture of all of us together from Deb so check out her blog later for one. We said our goodbyes when Ken dropped us off at home. It was a great last get together with Dave and Joan as they will be heading out of Quartzsite on Sunday. Safe travels you two!

On our drive back to the park,
the sun was just dropping below
the mountain.

Bill and I watched NCIS:Origins and relaxed together for the night. This was a great day, reaching 85F/29C again but feeling a bit cooler with the winds. I didn't get up to see the blood moon or the eclipse so have nothing to report there.

Good night!

Thank you for stopping by!
