With
it being more of a typical Spring Day for this area yesterday
it was very disappointing when we woke up this morning to the near
Winter Temperatures that we had experienced in Quartzsite
this past January. Listening to the falling Rain
was like we’d taken a sedative before going to bed. Feeling the
cold air on my face this morning I lay in bed a while longer then
needed just to keep warm. The first thing I did when I went
downstairs was to turn on both the Electric Fireplace and Blue
Flame Heater to take the chill out of the air.
It
was only a short while later that Kathy joined me downstairs and
started wishing the Rain to go away as the Puddles
started to completely cover the Streets throughout the
Transient Area that we are
presently staying in. With not too much planned because of the
Weather and the fact that it was Good Friday we got caught
up on more then just our normal Computer reading. We even made
it a Two Cup morning enjoying the warmth from our heaters.
When
it came time for lunch we again kept it Lite and only had a
bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. We did a little indoor cleaning
and organizing but with the Rain continuing until the later
part of the afternoon we started doing some research. We also made a
call to see about stopping in for a visit this evening.
Having
both grown up with a tradition most of our lives around 4:30 we
headed over to the Michigan Diner
in Essex where we had Fish and
Onion Rings off the Senior’s Menu for supper. We’d had
only a Five Minute wait while tables were being cleaned off.
Our Waitress was surprised that we were able to give our
entire order without opening the Menu. We watched others who
were there before us wait until their beverages were brought out to
order. We enjoyed our meals and were leaving by the time their food
was being brought out. There is a Banquet Room at this
location and it was full as well as the main Dining Room with
all the Wait Staff practically running around and helping one
another to make large deliveries.
We
made a quick stop at the Essex Shoppers Drug
Mart to purchase some Kleenex after Kathy today had
noticed we were running low. Other then local Eateries it was
the only store that was open today in Essex.
From
there we headed over to visit with our daughter-in-law Jen and
grandson Haigan since we have not seen them before we headed south
for the Winter. Both Emma and Connor were away so we’ll have
to see them the next time. We had an enjoyable visit getting caught
up on how school is going and other things. When told of our Campfire
Visitor in Quartzsite
slithering past us Jen nearly jumped out of her chair because she
doesn’t like Snakes either. Soon enough it was time for us
to leave but we’ll be seeing them again soon.
The
high temperature was only 43 F (6 C)
today but with the Wind
it
felt much cooler. Now that we are Home
the temperature is once again dropping and the Wind
is
rattling our Slide
Toppers.
We are looking forward to temps in the Mid-Fifties
for the weekend. Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

I can't complain ... it's been pretty nice here. Just beautiful sun and warm temperatures. Rain rain go away for my friends up north!!
ReplyDeleteA very wet day indeed. We don't go out much so when we do I like to take my time, order my beverage and then order my meal. I don't like to be rushed. But you two do go out a lot so I guess you just want to get in, eat and move on. We all have different habits. Hopefully you will have much better weather for the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame it is still cold and raining in your new location. Is this common for your area?
ReplyDeleteAt least you got to visit with family and enjoy a good meal with no wait.
