BUSY BUSY

 It was a cold dark morning, like every morning in the desert, as I walked along the dusty road.  Yeah, I was once again walking the dog.  This kid ... he's so demanding.  

This is how he starts his mornings, playing hide and seek with the ball.  It makes no difference whatsoever that we only have 30 square feet to play in.  

It turns into a bad hair day every time.  

Some may remember a picture in Patsy's blog of Gibbs wearing this cute coat.  It was too small for him, but fits Mr. Cooper just fine.  Thank you Gibbs ... we love it!!

By 6:00 I was back on the dusty road to the laundry room.  I thought the washer was going to explode when it got lopsided and shook the entire building.  I jumped on top of it to calm it down.  Well that was fun!!  

Back at the rig, I had socks scattered over every level space and shirts hanging from every possible hook in the ceiling.  There's nothing like walking into a wet towel trying to get from one end to the other.

Once done, I went back to the clubhouse for coffee hour with homemade muffins.  Seriously, there is something going on every single day.

After that, I joined Patsy and Jess at Jess's craft class in town.  While it usually involves quilling, on this day we did something different.  Here's all the stuff we worked with.  Check out Patsy's blog to see the first one we made.

This is the second one, the tree of life shadow box.  It was a fun morning, enjoying the company of ten crazy ladies.  Of course I signed up for NEXT week's class too.

Back home, lunch was the last piece of the "Yuma" pizza.  It was quite tasty, this time heated up in the frying pan on the induction cooktop.  It came out okay, but I need to be more patient with it.

I did notice one thing, I seem to be walking well over 6,000 steps a day.  What the hay??  How could that be?  I'm sure it's good for me, but good golly ... I might just end up healthy again!

This was the last sight of the day.  Patsy and I worked on this awful puzzle I donated to her cause.  Patsy is the Queen of Puzzles.  She can take this 1000 piece monstrosity where it's 90% the exact same color, and put it together in a day or two.  

I worked all afternoon getting those six pieces together at the bottom.  She did all the rest.  The teacher gave me a D+.

To end the day ... I mean you should always end the day on a high note, yes? ... I dumped my tanks.  That's always fun entertainment.  No, I didn't get anything on me ... I've learned to be VERY careful with that lovely job.  Just for kicks, I also hooked up the city water.  I forgot how nice that is.  I suppose that means I should actually turn the hot water heater on too.  

Unlike previous years, we are having 65 degree days and 45 degree nights.  Although it's chilly and I wear a coat every day, it's better to turn on the HEAT at night, rather than the air conditioner when we are melting at 90 degrees inside.  

That being said, it's been sunny and gorgeous every day, while spending time with fun friends and GREAT watch pups!!!
