Clear Sky, Poker Pool and Puzzling

Park Place RV Park

On Thursday, Dec. 28^th we aren’t far from the dawning of a new year. It is really hard to believe with the days zipping by so quickly. My friend, Jim, sent something to me this week that was interesting. The bottom line was that we, at our age, have been through a lot. We’ve done things over the past 8 decades (for me) that classes us as ‘unique’. ‘Our generation’, it said, ‘has lived through and witnessed more than any other, in every dimension of life’.

When Gibbsand I went out for our walk
this morning, I knew we were about to see the sunrise.

The article suggest that we should not stop doing something because of lack of time. Just do it, we’ll never get this time back and who knows when our time is up? “We are no longer at an age to postpone anything”. 😊 I love that. So, today I was up just before 7, washed, dressed and downstairs having tea with Bill and Gibbs. I took the little gapher for our walk and he behaved amazingly well while I stood and waited for the sun to pop over the mountains. ♥

Just seconds apart but each one is different.

Ladies Poker Pool was at 9:30 and today only 4 of us were available to play. We took a long time to play our games but we had fun and parted ways at noon. The office was busy so Patti was pulled away a few times to respond to the public demand. 

Look at this patient little rascal, this pix looks to the east.
We were up on the top of a hill.
This has to be a catchall for rain but both Bill and I never thought
to check after the rainfall last Friday. Duh!

The western mountains and the moon were also waiting
for the sun to rise.

Bill and I had our lunch and then I went over to work on the puzzle. The boys had their snooze and my sweetie worked outside on his plane. When I left the clubhouse at 3:30, the puzzle was done. I was captivated and couldn’t walk away!

It has just been me working on this puzzle since 
Wednesday. It has been a fun one!
A good challenge for my sisters back home.

I made my tea and sat with Gibbs. Today, the sky is as clear as clear can be and we reached a high of 65F/18C with a slight breeze. We’ll be up and down in temperatures for the rest of the month, year, but we’ll enjoy whatever comes our way. Gibbs and I went for our walk and Bill decided he just wasn’t feeling like going to their night flying tonight. No worries! We’ll have a quick supper anyway and enjoy a quiet evening. 😊

After last night, no sunset
will be as spectacular! Ha!
Good night!

This has been a pretty low-key day. I hope you have enjoyed yours!

Thank you for the visit.

Clouds Ruled the Day and Made for a Gorgeous Sunset!

This weather is very strange and today, Wednesday, Dec. 27^th, is no different. With promises of partly cloudy skies all day, we were 90% covered with a blanket of white. There were the odd patches of blue but it didn’t last and it didn’t warm up beyond 64F/16C. My hands felt chilly all morning which explains why much of my time was spent indoors.

Good morning?
pink sky = warning?

Whatever it means, it's pretty

I love our view this way

This morning around 8:45 I took our sheets and duvet cover over to be washed. It was coffee hour at 9 so I decided to put the wash in and sit at the puzzle. I was surprised that it was a very quiet ‘coffee hour’ today, when it usually is fairly busy. At least I think so, I don’t go over, from the cars I see parked over there. Today, there were only 5 plus me so I joined in occasionally. 😊

Back home, Gibbs greets us with his
Stuffie. I think he likes him - a lot. 💘

With such a small group, I did get the opportunity to meet May (Mae?). I’ve heard Sheila and Patti mention her but never really knew who she was. I have to admit that she left a wonderful impression on me, such a lovely, strong lady. I’m inspired by her determination. After a late summer hip surgery, she fell down cement steps in October and broke her pelvic bone in 6 places. It is one of those things that needs to heal on its own but, here she is, walking with a walker! ♥

Morning, then afternoon
accomplishments.

I stayed working on the puzzle until noon, retrieved the items off the clothes line and then after lunch with Bill, I returned to add more pieces. I’m loving it! It is a good challenge. 😊 

By then, we were seeing more blue sky
but it didn't last.

Bill keeps himself busy with his hobby.

I was back home around 3 and replaced the duvet cover, made my tea and sat to write this. Gibbs and I went for our walk around 4:30 while Bill puttered outside with his planes. For supper, he barbecued steak, warmed leftover dressing, had coleslaw and I had squash on my plate.

The steak was great tonight

So was the warmed up Apple Crisp with
cranberries and heavy cream. Yum!

When Gibbs and I walked at 4:30, I thought this would
be my last sky picture.
Boy, was I wrong!!

After clean up, we watched some tv and called it a day. This was a good day.

These two were taken from out front of our Suite
(Rick is bringing a new rig in to their site)

These two were taken looking from the entrance
Not sure why the colour difference, no touch ups were made.
Perhaps, because the clubhouse light was shining?
No matter, still beautiful!
Good night!

Thank you for popping by.
