A bit cooler and windy, but nice blue sunny skies that we can enjoy. And sad news.

Where are we today ? 

Pilot Knob Resort

      Much milder last night but with the low elevation and we in California about right on the money. I think the lowest was 58f (14c) overnight, very comfy with a couple of windows open.
      Today was forecast to be windy and yep the weather gods go it right, North wind with gusts to 25 mph from the northwest right along out patio. And only got to 60f (15c) but much cooler in the wind. I missed the sunrise this morning mainly because of the trees in the east side of our coach. I need to pay more attention to that and get my walkabout earlier.
       I did get a couple of nice walkabouts the resort and maybe would have done more if not for the cool wind.
       No problem we found sunshine in front of our coach as a windbreak and was quite comfortable, Need our sweat pants and hoodies on but not a problem we outside enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, indulged in our e-readers.

this is the area we camped at this time last year, almost full
6 couples here (our friends from Ontario)
pretty quiet right now.

       On one of my walkabouts 1 spotted this 1930 Ford Pick up truck. Looks in pretty nice shape and this guy drives it around everywhere he goes. Bill I think you can confirm the vehicle for me?

       Then I headed into Yuma for some supplies and pick up a package I had order on line to be delivered to the Walmart here. A camping Table to replace our broken one. They were $13.00 and on sale for $10.00 and free delivery to the store of our choice. Ordered on Monday and was delivered today . a week early but no problem, Was shopping there anyway so not an issue. The pickup was quick and easy, no lineup and the lady timed it 2 minutes 28 seconds to fill the order. Now that is service ! Got our supplies and spotted Turkeys on sale .68 cents a lb. Now I can't turn down a deal like that. This is a 10.48 b turkey only $7.13 works for us, not a problem we do love poultry of any kind.

now this was a great deal

our new table, and we bought 2 , really like with 2 drink holders plus a pocket on the side,
folds up nicely into a bag for storage

     After lunch we enjoyed the outside clear blue skies and California sunshine doing what we love, reading.

Bill and Patsy right across from us

      Bill was out walking Clemson and dropped by so Suzie got her doggie fix. He does not want to leave her lap he was comfy!

The wind bother's Suzie;s ears so her hoody was up
and Clemson sniggled in nicely.

       Today we had a pork loin roast and Suzie wanted it cooked in our slow cooker and make gravy, Good choice with the wind outside much better to cook inside and use their power for a change, just because we can.

our cupboard door again has cracked with only 10% humidity it does
this every year, back in Ontario you can't see the crack at all.

    Pretty quiet here at this time of year will get busier after Christmas as we have witnessed in the past years.

Pilot Knob in the distance

nice quiet area by the washrooms and laundry

nice compact travel unit this is

we spent most of the afternoon right here
perfect!

my old crock pot still does the job
even after 10 years use everyday in my restaurant

      Then I cut up some fresh Broccoli and Cauliflower to go with supper and added the bit of Canadian Cheese whiz to heat up in our microwave.

not much left but we cleaned it up

     I mashed a couple of red potatoes (skin  on ) with Garlic and butter, thickened the gravy for the roast and we enjoyed a very tasty roast pork supper.

this sure did the trick and o course leftovers

       Just as we were sitting down for supper the California desert treated us with another very nice sunset. 

love these desert sunsets

     Our first day here getting a few things done and still enjoying this sunny weather even with the winds, at least no dust storms here for us to deal with. Patsy was under the weather today, but really she did not miss good stuff outside anyway.
      We received sad news today a wonderful blogger passed away from a lengthy illness. We met her a few times over the Years. At Roadrunner in Quartzite with Jean and Skip, Pilot Knob BLM. had her over for supper etc.. Last time we saw her she was at Blogger Fest in 2016, Denise known as Sassy's On 'Da Road on the road. Drive her class A motorhome tow hauler with her beautiful blue Harley in the back . Man could she handle that bike. I borrowed this picture from Al's Blog (the Bayfield Bunch). I don't think he will mind.

R.I.P Denise
for ever in our thoughts

     Want to thank y'all for dropping on by and checking us out here in California.
