Lunch with Friends, Au Revoir and Puzzle Progress!

Park Place RV Park

On Saturday, Mar. 14th we were up and active by 7. Bill was off to the flying field before the winds got too strong. I think he said he got a couple of flights in, one day rolls into the next. I sat and enjoyed my tea before Gibbs and I went for our walk.

Good morning!
this was last night after I posted
my blog.

Already, at 8:45, it was heating up. Overnight sleeping was fine with my little window open and I was awake around 5 again. I'm fortunate that I can drop back off in fits and spurts at least. Gibbs delved under the covers when Bill was in the bathroom and it's so hard not to laugh - which encourages him.

We don't have to pay for entertainment
here in the Suite.
This little guy playing with his toys,
is enough.

And if it isn't, we get this....
Mom, Piggy and I need help up on the chair.
Lazy bum.........look at that tail.

I had nothing on the agenda today until after lunch so worked on making some greeting cards and earrings to stock up again. A couple of my older projects needed some touch ups, a second look does that - shows me what's missing.

Our early walk was already warm.

Poor thing. I almost had to 
give him mouth to mouth.
What a performance! 😂😂
So hot, Mom.
It was actually lovely in the shade
on our patio with the breeze.

Bill was home around 10:30? 11:00? I don't recall, but at 11:30, Deb called about meeting them for lunch at Sunset Grill. That sounded awesome as we've still not made it there. It was a great meal, I chose the chicken bacon wrap with fries. Yummy!

I thoroughly enjoyed my
chicken wrap and fries. The service was great too!
I do love the signs on their walls.
These are only a few.

We had a nice little visit inside the place and when finished, around 1, said our final goodbyes for this season. We'll see them in the fall again, God willing. Safe travels T & D and good luck with the repairs on your rig. We returned home very full and knew we'd have lunch for supper. Sandwiches. 😀

The drive home on Quail Trail.
Such a pretty sky.

I quilled some more, my boys dozed at some point and I walked over to the clubhouse to stare at the Van Gogh puzzle around 3. Surprisingly, that break from it seemed to help. Within 15 minutes, I had put 10 pieces in and made some decent progress until 5:15 when I came home.

Can you see a difference?
I sure can! I feel much better about it.

We had our cold supper, well, I had toast and jam, and settled in for the evening. It was a good, quiet day. We've had our last 'regular' friends' visit and now we're just enjoying what is left of our time in the park. I hope things are good for you, in your life.

Busy day tomorrow so
Good night!

Thank you for your visit! Oh! We reached 92F/30C again today. 

A Calmer Day in the Neighbourhood, Visitors

Park Place RV Park

On Friday, Mar. 13th Bill and Gibbs were up at their usual 6 o'clock. I had already been awake at 4:50 (!) for some reason and pulled the duvet up over my lower body. Silly, true, but I felt a bit cool with my window open. I know I slept well, dreaming again.

Good morning!

Bill was in the shower, having his breakfast by the time I came downstairs around 7:15. Gibbs was into the usual performance too, delving under the covers and waiting until Mom laughed. Yes, he felt he needed to wake me up. Age means nothing to him either, he loves to play.

After Bill left, I had my tea and we went for our walk around the outer block. It was already quite warm so we had closed windows and turned the a/c to come on around 72F/20C. With no obligations to go anywhere or make anything, I made a coffee around 10 and walked to the obnoxious puzzle.

A little bit more finished down the right
hand side. 

This may be one of 3 that I will have started and not finished. Some people have more faith in me than I do when it comes to Van Gogh....well, I may be beaten. In an hour and a half I only put in about 5 pieces and left before noon frustrated. There is still tomorrow......we'll see.

We had lunch together and I helped Bill pour 1/2 of a 4.5 gal container of peanut oil (Bill got it at Sams Club) into individual containers. We were splitting it this summer with our friends so we can all enjoy deep frying at its best. Better than EVOO. 😉

Our company, Lori and Roland, arrived just before 1 on their Indian bikes and we enjoyed a nice catchup visit. It was hot sitting outside under the canopy but comfortable in the shade. Gibbs had to take turns sitting on our friends, he knows them.

Thank you Bill for taking the picture
for me.
Gibbs poses as well.

Bill then went to Jim's for a while and Gibbs and I relaxed again in the cool of the Suite. We reached a high of 92F/30C today so indoors was the place to be, if possible. Supper was ribs and spuds done in Madame IP with a vegetable of sorts. 

Gibbs likes to get as much
attention from his friends as
possible.
I wonder if he remembers them
as Schatzi's mom and dad?

On their way back to 
Holtville Hot Springs LTVA, CA

Last night, I had made a couple of greeting cards for Stephanie and Anne Marie because I won't see them on their birthdays in the summer months. They are the only ones in our group who didn't receive a homemade card for any reason. I remedied that. I think they were both pleased. 💕

The colour here is not great
but the cross is brown and the 
shroud is in purple.
Anne-Marie loved it.

Stephanie is picking up her baby,
Sally, a bichon frise, this spring,
so I did my best to imitate one for her card.
She loved it also. 

So, our supper of pork ribs, potatoes for Bill and salad for each of us, turned out very good. We didn't have any sauce for the ribs but gravy worked fine for tonight. We finished off with a small pie from Walmart for dessert.

after I had to lift him into my chair.

Supper was good.

That's it for our day and the evening will be quiet, in front of the tv. 

We say goodbye to the heat
source of the day.

But it sure makes a pretty exit.

Good night!
(the sky may get better before it's done)

Thank you for popping by!
