My last post was about Ashton applying for a job in Fish Creek. A whole series of events have happened since then.

Help wanted!
The main industry in Door County is tourism. New businesses are opening all the time, and they all need workers. Back in the day, students came up to work for the summer, but that source of help began to dry up, so businesses in Door County turned to other nations.

I got a headache on December 30th, two days before we left Oregon, and I’ve had a headache at some point during every day since. This morning, I went to see a chiropractor. He worked really hard to try to loosen me up, but I just about went through the ceiling in pain before I got looser.

Yesterday, I finished making the last of the calls for my office for the season! I started on Tuesday, so it only took me three full days to get through them all this time.

My mother contacted me yesterday to see if I was still alive, so I guess it’s time for another blog post, but whoa! Things have changed in my blog settings since the last time I wrote. If this looks different in your email, let me know what you see. I’m going to have to relearn this program!
