It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

Hidden Sun, Wasted Calls, “Overnighter” Gone Again, Afternoon Chores, Snack, Tasty Supper and Beautiful Sunset.


Our Location today is La Posa South L.T.V.A., Quartzsite, Arizona, U.S.A.

After sleeping fairly soundly last night I first looked at my watch at 6:50 this morning. I know that I don’t like sleeping in but at that time the Sun hadn’t even risen. Closing my eyes again the next time they opened was at 7:40 MST which was a little more reasonable as far as I was concerned. 

It was necessary to open all the Window Shades just to let enough light in so that we wouldn’t trip over things. When Kathy made it downstairs at 8:10 she didn’t even comment that the Sun was in her eyes. As a fact it was Kathy that spotted the glow behind the Clouds that showed where the Sun actually was. 

The temperatures have really dropped from what they were a few weeks ago so once again while doing our morning reading on the Computers we both had a second cup of Coffee/Tea to help warm us up. 

I called Leisure Trailers in Lakeshore to find out what is happening with Jayco but Stephanie won’t be in until Monday. 

Our next call was to the Windsor Eye Institute to book our Cataract Surgeries. When they tried to book us for early March I explained that we were still in Arizona and preferred doing them during the summer. Their response was to call back in early May. 

Lastly, I called Amazon about the missing package that we haven’t received. Their records showed it was delivered to the Quartzsite Post Office and returned. It also showed the correspondence I had with the Vendor afterwards but that was it. (They knew as much as I did.) They sent out an E-mail on my behalf so hopefully we see some results by Monday. 

Our on again off again “Overnighter” neighbour pulled out just before lunch. The fact that they don’t have a Towed is probably the reason they keep disappearing. 

We discussed what we wanted to accomplish today so we decided to have a Grilled Cheese Sandwich along with Chicken Noodle Soup for Lunch and some Strawberries for dessert. 

The chore today was doing the Laundry. After everything was sorted I loaded things in the Truck. Walking around the outside of the Trailer the 61 F (16 C) temperatures felt a lot colder. We definitely needed to wear our Jackets. The Sun was just starting to break through the Clouds and as long as you stayed out of the Wind you were comfortable. 

It was around 12:30 when we headed to the Main Street Laundromat in Quartzsite. There were plenty of people who had the same idea we did but with all the machines it didn’t take long to wash and dry everything. With Kathy’s assistance we finished folding all the clothes in no time. 

It was too early to have a meal out so instead we had a snack that would extend our time to supper. We stopped at Dorothy and Toto’s for Black Cherry Ice Cream Cones. 

It was past 3:00 before we got back Home in La Posa South LTVA and there were breaks in the Clouds. Looking at the Charge Controller Monitor it was just starting to charge our Batteries. 
We put all our clean clothes away, checked our E-mails and started getting things ready for supper by 5:00. 

While Kathy was inside making some Macaroni and Cheese along with Cole Slaw, I was outside grilling a couple of Boneless Pork Chops. Everything tasted wonderful and our dessert was a Clementine Orange. 

The Weather Network along with all the Local Forecasters are showing a big cool down headed our way. Having tried to run the Propane Line for the Blue Flame Heater by myself I just have no idea why the line that is less then Three Feet away from the connection point is disappearing above the Fresh Water Tank. Sometime tomorrow Wayne is going to give me a hand to try again. 

We barely saw the Sun today but the Clouds gave us a good show this evening for Sunset. Thanks for following along, feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. I have had the same problem with Amazon and USPS. I asked Amazon to refund the order and then order it again. Rather than actually help someone, the post office prefers to just send it back. It's maddening they do not provide better service.

  2. Too bad about your package and having to deal with the phone calls..very frustrating! Nice that you can go do laundry later in the day, sure couldn't do that earlier this winter. Lunch and dinner both looked tasty! Beautiful sunset pics!!

  3. Hope you find your Amazon package. I've heard stories (all bad) about the Quartzsite Post Office sending stuff back.
    Another nice sunset in the desert!

  4. Your weather cleared up before our down here in the southern end. It did stop today but I heard it again on the awning a bit ago. It's supposed to rain again tomorrow with temps in the low 60's I'm OK with it better than triple digits
