Here we are now the year 2019 who woulda thought. It sounds like wow were did the time go.After a fun New Year's eve with good friends from Rock Glen Resort in Ontario. Suzie and I managed to stay awake at home until 10 pm (midnight in New York) watching the Ball drop in Times Square telling us the new year is here. A good sleep and I even slept much later this morning until 5:30.Would be nice if I could do that every day. But then I feel like I have missed part of the day.
The weather for today a bit better than yesterday still cool in the low 50's F a cold north wind about 25 mph. But we do have a cloudless sunny sky, love that warming sunshine !
Today we decided for our New Years dinner, Corned Beef and Cabbage for a special treat. I got the corn beef, potatoes, celery, carrots and spice packet into our new to us Crock Pot cooker early to get it going on low all day. The only thing missing was the cabbage, no problem a quick 10 minute drive to the closest grocery store I grabbed a small red cabbage. it does not need to go in until the last couple of hours.
After lunch I took drive west of here and up Ogilby road. Have not been up that way this year yet.
I turned north here and noticed all the dust blowing in the dunes a bit further west. Those stand dunes sure can blow a lot of sand and dust around with this wind, rearranging the dunes in the process.

Reading our page turners what a wonderful way to enjoy a New Years day outside in the fresh dry air. As usual I would read for a bit, a walkabout, putter around and read a bit more.
The following 2 pictures I snaffled from Patsy's Blog posting (Chillin' with Patsy) thanks for sharing Patsy.

Where have we been this Winter?
The road trip this year will take us back to Canada, I definitely want to come back with some peameal back bacon! Not sure when I last had corned beef and cabbage, must have been a St Pat's Day thing, save your leftovers for some awesome corned beef tacos!, my St. Pat go-to now!
ReplyDeleteThe harvest is in now, the smoke you see is often the farmers burning off their fields. They'll plow in the ash for the next season.
We do love our Peameal bacon for a nice treat, I am craving a rueben have just enough left t make a stay one. You can buy some large Vac sealed packages that done need to be frozen for quite a while if your freezer is full.
DeleteThanks for the info on the smoke we see it every year some body told us it was garbage being burnt.
Wow, that was a full day, get way to bring in the New Year. You two never stop having fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice day and fun we always enjoy this good life.
DeleteA nice day you all had and the cornedbeef and cabbage looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day and the corned beef and cabbage was vey yummy thanks.
DeleteWhat a small world! Our town is so little and there you meet people from there! One year here at Parker, we ran into a couple that was from Yerington too. They're probably here now somewhere looking to escape the cold. Corned beef and cabbage definitely a good way to bring in the new year! Great pics of the sunset
ReplyDeleteAmazing how you run into people from so many places. Earlier this year we met a couple from Escanaba where Tom and Deb are from. Supper was tasty and you know the desert sunsets we love.
DeleteThat's a GREAT picture of you guys. Nice sunset too! Sorry it's been so chilly. I'm sure hoping it warms up a tad. Snow in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy I thought so too. It may be chilly but much better than the cold and snow back home, Al we need to do is get out of the wind and in the sun is very comfortable.
DeleteThe corned beef and cabbage looked so good. Clemson and Freddy the big and the little in the dog world, but both love Suzie. Cute.

DeleteThanks Loree it was a tasty dinner, They do love Suzie and she loves them all as well.
You guys are always making the best of every day. Always good food on the table, relaxed days and being with nice company. We will have to learn from you. All the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene, this is our home and our lifestyle, enjoying the fresh air reading, making tasty meals and exercise is all part of our day and like to pace ourselves. No hurry and no need to be on the go everyday. Two more days and we can move a short distance down the road again.
DeleteGreat sunset pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe love parking out on Olgilby Road always a quiet restful stop and for some reason no matter how many rigs are out there does not seem crowded.
We have never parked out there Suzie is not interested in that area at all.
DeleteWe just love slow cooker meals, so easy and so good. We even use the crock pot while we're driving in the RV, arrive to a hot meal. Great invention, how did we ever live without one? ;c)
ReplyDeleteDo really enjoy the crock pot, even more when were working, but does make some amazing meals.
DeleteCorn beef and cabbage look scrumptious! We did the fresh collard green, left over Christmas ham, and black-eyed peas.
ReplyDeleteJust as you and Suzie did, we are heading out this week on the Royal Princess except from Fort Lauderdale. It's hard trying to pack light like you and Suzie did; Beach keeps telling me that if we forget something, we can pick it up in Florida, but I hate to stop for little things. According to the Weather Channel, you two are in for some cold weather; it's even dipping down as low as San Antonio and Houston; the cold will be making its way to the east coast and northern Florida, but I think we will be driving south of the front as far as Miami and will miss it.
Hope you and Suzie have many blessings in 2019.
Thanks Dee I know you will enjoy your cruise we doe love them. Suzie worked in travel for many years amdreally knows how to pack. Even the little we took it.was more than we needed.
DeleteThe corned beef was amazing and your meal sound wonderful as well.
We can still enjoy the sunshine here and have no complaints like some people.
