Another Lazy Sunday

We stayed up very late last night -- actually watched a movie. I couldn't tell you the name of it, but it was funny and light. But, since we stayed up so late, we sure didn't get up very early this morning. It was quiet around the park as well. I sliced some thick slices off of the last slab of Mennonite bacon I bought at the auction, fixed some waffles and eggs. Add a little maple syrup and we were good

One of the things we really like about Eagle View is the absence of park models. Everyone here has an RV of some sort: a trailer, a fifth-wheel or a motor home. This is in contrast to most of the RV parks in Arizona, especially the bigger ones, where maybe one out of ten or so sites has an RV, all the rest are park models. Many of these are filled with seniors who fly or drive in from somewhere up north, then stay in their mini-houses for 2 to 3 months. We even talked with a few folks last year who had been driven down by family who would then return to pick them up in the Spring.
 We found the park model owners to be rather a cliquish bunch. After all, many of them had lived side by side with the same neighbors for many years. We even met one older lady who said she lived on the same site as her parents had -- only with a much nicer park model! Unlike most RVers, they did not have many "travelin" tales to share.

It was another very warm, very nice day today. I spent some time this afternoon putting together a chicken pot pie. I've been "tasting" various versions ever since we had that absolutely delicious one that we bought in New England, but none of them seemed to be as anywhere near as good. So this afternoon, I stripped the meat, especially the dark meat, left from the chicken I roasted a couple of days ago. I had parsnips, celery and half an onion in the refrigerator, so they went into a roux with the chicken. All that went into a pie shell, covered with a crust and baked for an hour. It turned out very well. It really could have used some peas, but it was pretty tasty. We have half a pie left for tomorrow, so it should be an easy day.
