Another amazing day weather wise and visits from a few friends

Where are we today ? 
clic a pic to enlarge it.
     Another wonderful warm spring nights sleep, windows open and enjoying this very quiet campground. 54F (12C) at 5 am this is perfect! So after some coffees and computing I headed out for my first walkabout at 7:30, Shorts and t-shirt weather again. No complaints here.
     Now I have a brand new I-phone and still playing with this thing, So much that it can do. Took a few pictures and  tried a selfie. First time for me, it is kinda cool. So there was that be me below.
happy Wednesday
my very first selfie
     Got a mile or so walked around the park then a short country drive around the area. Just enjoy getting our in the car. No groceries needed to, tomorrow that will happen. A few more walkabouts and a light tasty lunch.
    Then I went to the amazing fitness centre they have here in this park , included in our membership . I have missed this all winter, so got right back into it again. Turn the TV on and did a nice work out on all the machine for about an hour. They have so many different exercise machines here and not usually busy when I go. perfect ! I actually weighed myself on their good scale and found i had lost 6 lbs since last fall! Wonderful. Don't need to lose any more though so will keep and eye on it.
lost of free weights here as well
      When I was about done got a text from Suzie, Larry and Cynthia stopping by for a visit. So right back home and there they were. Met them quite a few years ago in this park and they stopped by to chat up with us, so nice to see thm again. Filled us in on their summer and winter travels last year and issues with their 43 ft 5 wheel trailer. Had a very nice visit with them, then they headed on out.
This be Larry
      Now we got to enjoy our e-readers for about an hour in this very warm, afternoon weather., Actually got to 84 F and nice that there was a breeze and cloud cover or it sure would have been REAL hot.
campground still quiet just the way we like it
the wind turbines just north of us are doing their thing
      Just before 3pm our good friend Emile and Monique stopped by for a visit. nice to see them again think it was last fall or maybe last spring. HappyHour! They had a wonderful winter as well, We shared stories of our travels and will see them again next week when they will be camping here for a while. We met them many years ago at Galvin bay resort north of Peterborough  Ontario and have camped with them in many different areas in Canada and the USA on our travels.
Emile and Monique
     Shortly after they left I fired upper Weber Q to grill a turkey burger for Suzie and a tasty, spicy chorizo  burger for me, Love this chorizo that we picked up in southern Arizona.
burgers done and 2 english muffins warmed up in foil
all dressed up with a side salad sure did the trick
       Now here we are once again outside  shorts, t-shirts and sandals at 7:30 pm and still 80F (26C)  just a very slight breeze what another perfect evening. The weather Gods said we are supposed to have thundershowers at 5 pm to and could go all day tomorrow. So far they are wrong and really hope they are wrong for the next few days. We will not complain if they goofed.
        Below is a couple of pics of last nights sunset which happened long after I posted the blog ,and will do the same today.
        Just another amazing day of  warm weather that we love. Supposed to cool down a bit and rain some, but heck it that happens we will have to do other stuff that needs to be done. Not gonna waste this warm weather doing inside stuff that's for sure.
      Wanna thank ya'll for dropping by and hope you had another very nice spring day.

  1. Nice Selfie! Captured the smile, hat and vest. But tie-dye? Looks good on you, George. Nice to have an annual reunion with other 'home park' friends. Home much chorizo do you have in the freezer? Isn't it hard to find on your side of the border?

    1. Thanks Jeff, just playing with my new phone. I got the Tie Dye in Quartzsite for 10 bucks just had to have it LOL...
      I have 4 more burgers in the freezer. I did find a butcher at the St. Jacobs market that makes chorizo sausage in casings, not quite as good as the real stuff from the southwest.

  8. Be careful with those selfies .. I have found they add ten pounds and ten years to your countenance!! Yours is a great one by the way!! Nice exercise room. You are lucky to be able to take advantage!!
