Ridge Coffee Cake? Happy Hour

 Park Place RV Park

On Wednesday, Jan. 28th it was once more after 7 when I came downstairs. Walking at 8 was not even a consideration this morning. It was a chilly start, only 37F/2C.

Good morning!

Bill left for the field.  Gibbs and I sat together while I had a cup of tea and half a grapefruit. At 8:30, we went for his walk. I wasn't dressed appropriately enough and rushed him around more than usual. 

This is probably the most we saw
of the blue sky all day and it didn't last.
It was 9 am.

He said hello to Sue before we came in to the warmth of the Suite. I had coffee and Rhubarb coffeecake with 10 others.  It was my Ridge rhubarb made into a delicious treat.  

From scratch, Sue made
a yummy Rhubarb coffee cake,

After lunch Bill went to run a few errands.  Propane, diesel, bank and a truck run to clear the exhaust.  I did more quilling, made another greeting card and started on some bookmarks. 

For an upcoming birthday,
turned out better than
I thought.

At 3 we went outside to our gazebo for Happy Hour with friends Ken, Kim, Dave, Joan, Tom and Deb. Gibbs joined us too. 🤗 There was a lot of conversation, a few pictures and much laughter.  

Happy Hour L to R
Tom, Ken, Dave, Joan, Deb, Kim, Pat.
Fun single digit names, right? 😂

Gibbs was the best boy
and won Joan's heart.

By 5: 20 we broke it up and said goodbye. It was time as Bill's and my feet were feeling cold. The sun never did make an appearance today and with a breeze, we were lucky to reach the forecasted 68F/18C.

The tacos were very good.
I didn't have sour cream so
yogourt worked just fine.

We had tacos for supper and a cookie for dessert. They are quite tasty. I watched a couple of episodes of The Wall for a change while I worked on my blog. 

Too many clouds for
a sunset tonight so...
here's a little sunshine.
Good night!

This has been a great day. Thank you for popping by 

All is Well! The Money Pot

Park Place RV Park

Tuesday, Jan. 27th it was a few minutes past 7 when I got myself out of bed. It's so cozy in there, I was in no hurry. There's my buddy, with a face wash and nice warm cuddle before he turned his attention to Poppy. 

Good morning!

She is probably the least expensive toy, $5, I've bought him and she has lasted the longest with only a small hole in her backside. If I'd known, I'd have bought a couple more at Marshall's. 😀 He's having fun with the toys no matter their state, so that's all that matters.

I think this spruced the
picture up even more.

Bill left for the field and we lounged here until 8:45 when I took him for his walk. I did finish the flower and mod podge it before going over to the puzzle around 9:30 with it. I glued it onto the metal bird picture and it looks quite nice there.

This was another fun one.
Love those puppies!

I finished the puzzle and returned home at 10:30 to Gibbs. Bill was going to Jim's hangar after flying so I took advantage of the time alone and prepared cookies for baking. These are keto cheese pecan cookies. They never quite turn out like regular cookie dough but taste good and are guilt-free.

Whatcha doin', Mom?

I had the last of my broccoli cheddar soup with a piece of my bread. Time to go to Parker! I'm on my last 2 slices of keto bread and that's a definite 'oh no!' 😃 Bill was a bit later getting home for his lunch and at 1, I took my money pot over to play Pokeno.

For those of you who never met her,
this is Jess, my paper quilling teacher.
Because of her, I have a new hobby.
💖
she didn't come south this winter
and is missed.

It was a nice turnout, 9 of us playing today. I was happy Deb took a break and joined us. Took a break from what? That's her story to tell. I won the first BlackOut, which means I get all the pennies from almost full cards from each player. Yes! (insert fist pump)

Sue did not have a good day so was buying pennies from me - a fair bit. You never know when you'll get lucky, it's the draw of the cards but we have fun. Linda, my friend, won the second BlackOut so went home a happy camper. Literally. 😍

38 cookies baked.
Bill sampled and said they were good.
Bonus!

Bill was busy while I was away, removed the 'old' and wired our 'new' converter in. A lot of stuff that I don't fully understand, so I'm glad he does! That's his department! Mine was making cookies so I put them in the oven to bake. 

I stopped while riding Lila
and took a picture from outside
the park.

These are nice and easy to
whip up. 😃

I felt like quilling so while they baked, I made another greeting card. My girlfriend back home messaged me about an Artisan show in April so that has put a bit of a spur in my activity. Hmmm, I hope I have the courage/nerve to do those when we return.

For supper, Madame IP cooked pork ribs and I sliced the huge baked potato from our potluck and fried that up nice. Yum, they were good! Bill had his corn and I had my Brussel sprouts. It was a good supper. Even Gibbs got drippings on his dry food! I guess I forgot a picture!!

I ran outside to catch this 
before it disappeared.

Not sure what tv will be but it will keep us entertained for the evening. We were a bit warmer today - oh yes! Bill took Gibbs for his before supper walk and I took Lila for her daily spin to the corner. My legs are still feeling it but my balance is improving. 😊🚴

We can't claim this little guy
as our own, but our neighbour, Dot, can!
Brecken also has an adorable little smile and is almost
3 months old.
😍💖

We reached a lovely 68F/18C today with very little wind. Each day and nighttime temperature for the next week is improving by leaps and bounds. PS - thank you for all your well wishes on my headache. All gone, as quick as they came. 

This is why we come
down for our winter.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
