Warmer weather but no sunshine and fellow rv;ers arrived today for Happy hour.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Much milder overnight at 5 am was 42 F (5C) and no wind so was pretty decent outside. No sunshine though. Just everything is green and growing. As a matter of fact they cast the grass here in our area of the campground.
right on top of our engine battery
 the robins want to build a nest
       Enjoyed a nice walkabout almost 2 miles so far. Then home to putter around.  I hooked up our water hose and struggled with my quick connect fittings. Ok that's enough these have given me problems since I bought them last December. I can fix that, bought two more new ones at the Arkona Home Hardware, a different style and seem to work perfectly. I fixed the old ones, into a recycle bin is a good place for them. I also have been checking under the hood of our coach. We have noticed a Robin coming out of there and sure enough they were building a nest right on top of our engine battery. I have been cleaning twigs off there for the last couple of days and noticed again they made real good progress this morning. Don't want a nest there with eggs in it when we are moving in a couple of days, hopefully they will get the message and build it some other place. We have had this happen before at this time of year.
in no time the robins are building a nest here
need keep on top of this

a decent day here no complants

          After a light tasty lunch I headed down the the fitness centre and enjoyed a nice workout for an hour. An amazing gym they have here, may as well make use of it. Still overcast , 56F  (13C) no wind and no rain, so not too bad of a day at all. Too chilly to sit outside and read so inside it will be.It did get to 60 F (15C) but still kinda chilly.
now back into another new adventure
with Lucas Davenport and his Prey series
really enjoy John Sandford's writing
    A bit later 2 pm we noticed friends Paul and Judy Whistlecraft full timer rver's pull in 2 sites behind us, I walked by welcomed them back to Canada and were invited over for Happy Hour with them  at 3:30. So nice to see them  again, compared our winter travels for a while to get caught up and headed back home by 4:30. Tonight I am making some Lasagna that Suzie wanted today because it was supposed to rain, so far not happening, and that is just wonderful.
Suzie with Paul and Judy
            Tonight  was a Lasagna I threw together. No lasagna  noodles, she suggested we we use Tortillas  instead like we did in Mexico back in 2009. No problem we can use these for different things more than the noodles. Same meal only better.  No recipe posted just fried up some ground turkey, onions, garlic and mushrooms, a few spices and layered all in a smaller pan. With cheddar, parmesan ,mozzarella ,  spaghetti sauce and baked in the oven at 350F for an hour. Added a small salad and a a couple of garlic cheese buns just because we like them, Not healthy eating but we are sure in for a tasty treat.
wow this was excellent and of course lotsa leftovers
        We did really enjoy a very nice day and a bonus to get together with Paul and Judy for Happy hour. Nice to catch up with these guys again after our winter get aways.
        We enjoyed our supper and of course will enjoyed lotsa leftovers at some point.
        A pretty decent day here and now we can wind down, read for a while and maybe watch a show on the tube.
       Wanna thank y'a for dropping on by and hope you had a great day as well.

  2. Corn tortillas make a good crust, we use them for chiche. But never thought of using tortillas in place of noodles. May have to give that a try.

    1. Suzie does not car for thr corn ones so we use flour tortilla, They would make a nice crust as well. They worked in the lasagna too was tasty. And no left over box of noodles.

    1. It was not too bad outside, no sun and a chilly breeze just made it too uncomfortable to sit outside. The workout felt good.

  6. I had never heard of substituting tortillas for lasagna noodles but you made it work. As usual your meal looks delicious wish you could send me some through the computer so I could taste it :)

    1. Why not use tortillas? Use them for everything else in Mexico, it was tasty.
      That would be cool to email you some food, maybe someday.

  7. Sounds and looks delicious! YUM! What a nice Happy Hour you had with friends. Those nests are certainly pesky, we have to watch it here too this time of year. Always hoping they find a nicer place to make a home! Hoping the weather warms for you.

  8. Glad you're getting some warmer weather - in the 80's here on the South Carolina coast. Those birds can be pretty persistent about nest building.

    1. Getting warmer but still more cool weather for a while yet. The birds just keep coming back here, really have to watch out for them.

    2. Sounds like a good day in spite of a little wind and coolness. Wish our rain would stop would not mind the cooler temperatures if we could get outside for a walk. Nice to have friends arrive and spend time catching up. Supper looks good, sometimes a little unhealthy eating is called for.

    3. It was a very nice day, and nice to get out and about. Warming up a bit today so outside for more fresh air. Maybe not the healthiest but was so very good a treat and more tonight.

  10. Another tasty meal for you both, I have been looking at your recipes and will copy some of them for when we travel in our van in July. Also we have had trouble with our hose fittings, and even the expensive ones fail us. Hope yours are good for a while now.
