One of the first orders of business was to drag everything out of the basement and check for mouse evidence and dampness, and since everything was out already I decided to set it up and use it. We wound up doing a lot of the cooking outside since it was still a tad warm in the desert in mid November, and we even brought the bedroom TV outside. Great way to watch a hockey game, or whatever!
The next couple weeks were devoted pretty much entirely to chillaxing, enjoying the warm weather, and rediscovering the lovely scenery.
Oh, yeah, and keeping up with life's normal chores like laundry and such. Come January this parking lot will be packed and all the machines in use. Right now you can have your pick of parking spots and washing machines. Almost makes you want to do MORE laundry. Almost, not quite.
There were no phenominal sales on turkeys or hams for Thanksgiving, so we decided to pull a pork roast out of the freezer and dutch it along with butternut squash and a lovely no-bake cheesecake for desert. Yummy!
I also managed to get the boat out on Lake Havasu a couple times to chase those wily Bass, but they still manage to elude me. Oh well, nice days on the water anyway.
There were usually several other boats within sight, and I witnessed nobody bringing in anything scaly and floppy, so maybe nobody was having luck? Or is that wishful thinking?
Finally, we went up to Lake Havasu City for the Boat Parade of Lights on December 1st. Now that's MY idea of watching a Christmas parade: in shorts and sandals from a lawnchair on the beach!
