Where are we today ?
Just more sun shinny warm weather here. Boring for you? Sorry, thats what we are here for. After computing and coffees, early morning walkabouts the resort. Down by the Colorado River and just having a great day.

| nice path by the river |
 |
| lotsa bamboo here too |
Around 9 am Suzie and I headed to Blythe for a few supplies. Cold stuff for her a few groceries only 8 minutes away.
Back home we stopped by the office and pool to pick up a permit to wash our coach and car. Only $5.00 for both. Good deal!
 |
| nice pool, and hot tub |
Now we had an early lunch then I proceeded to wash all the dirt and dust off our coach and car, Starting at the roof. Sure looks better now!
We even had time to read our books for a while in the shade, need shade , getting pretty hot here in the sun. 85f in the shade.
Now around 4 pm headed on down to Ron and Loree's for "happy hour". Jim and Judi, and Denis and Diane showed up too from Windsor Ontario, the Ontario crowd is getting bigger here!
Snacks and conversation flowed like water, where did the time go!
Then Ron got his accordion out and played some amazing tunes for us! Name that tune. Polkas and all, some we did not know. He has played this amazing instrument for most of his life.
 |
| great polka's |
I made a short video below of this tune that everyone knows, (Tennessee Waltz) hope you can view it. Ron has not played much for the last ten years, so think he did pretty good, we enjoyed it.
Happy hour extended until we just had to head home to whip up supper. Awesome weather ! A good time was had by all. Even a few neighbors dropped by to enjoy his playing too.
Fired up our Weber Q as the sun was beginning to set again. Quick and easy tonight. Grilled salmon with dill sauce. (check my recipe Blog on the top of the side bar for the recipe)

| another nice sunset |

| salmon with dill sauce |
Added a rice pilaf and a fresh baked bun from the store to round off a quick, easy and very tasty meal.

| sure was tasty |
While enjoying supper we did something we very seldom do. Watched tv. At 6 pm there was a 50 year anniversary special of the Beattles. Ed Sullivan clips and so on. I do remember when they invaded north America. Would they make it? I was not really a fan at the time but do remember all those great songs.
As usual I watched bits and pieces of the special, and enjoyed some parts of it, but sure brought back a lot of memories! The special ended up excellent!
Now eventually time to call it a night. Windows open, great for sleeping, fresh air. A bit of road noise here for Suzie. Not for me though, take out the hearing aides and all is very quiet for me.
Thanks for stopping in once again, to see how we enjoy this lifestyle as full time rv'ers.

You are right in that we have had a lot of fabulous sunshine. You seem to go from one party to another. Isn't enjoying everything we do what this is all about? Tomorrow's going to be another great day in paradise.
ReplyDeleteWe have met more people this year than all our past years combined.
DeleteSure are loving the weather this winter!
My uncle played the accordion. We are Italian so most of his songs were polkas. The sounds they can make with that instrument are amazing.
ReplyDeleteLike you said the sounds are amazing, and to play one? No me.
DeleteNow all you guys talking about the Beatles special have made me wish we did have TV!! I have slept with ear plugs for a large portion of my adult life, I put them in and hear no road noise. On the other hand, the cowboy hears everything--he had a hard time in the RV park we used in Aransas Pass, TX while he was working last winter.
ReplyDeleteWe don't watch a lot of tv, but some shows we do enjoy.
DeleteEven when I could hear well, noise never kept me awake.
Interesting seating arrangement you accordian player has devised. Every musician likes to have things just perfect.
ReplyDeleteHe needed to be upright with no arms on the chair, works for him.
DeleteThe salmon looks good!
ReplyDeleteOne of our favourites. So tasty!
DeleteIt truly is a nice spot where you are. I love having a body of water nearby. It is so refreshing seeing green and blue amid all the desert colours.
ReplyDeleteWe do have musicians too around here. Sometimes I regret not having learned to play the guitar or arccordion instead of a mere flute. It such a gem when it comes to having them around a bon fire.
We enjoy most places that we stay at, and the people we meet. Such a great lifestyle.
DeleteWe are enjoying the mid-80's weather. No complaints. The Beatles 50th Anniversary was a great TV special. Loved every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteWe did too!
DeleteIt has been a great year hasn't it. I 'specks I'll be doing a lot of sitting in the shade as the temps are HOT HOT HOT.
ReplyDeleteLove the HOT, HOT, HOT, nothing wrong with sitting in the shade either.
DeleteAccordion video worked great. Looks like you all were having fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Randy, we had a ball!
DeleteWe love this great warm weather and are sooo glad that we took the ride over from cold Florida
ReplyDeleteIt sure is worth the drive especially this year, enjoy!
DeleteThat salmon looks delicious! You often post photos of the foods you fix... but how about telling us what books you two are reading? While I often read mysteries, I always love to hear what other like....
ReplyDeleteWell that is Suzie's department. She has a 10 page access data base of Author we like and enjoy. See what I can do.
DeleteSounds more like a waltz to me… Tennessee Waltz! … but then what do I know… Hahaa… very nice.. you all didn't get up and boogie??
ReplyDeleteI loved the Salute … not too fond of the first part but when Ringo then John then the two of them together performed??~ magic… just loved it… I was young again for half an hour or so… and I did get up and boogie… y'betcha
Yeah Waltz it was.
ReplyDeleteThe last part of the show was the best.
