I was sick for a week with the “company cold” (the staff has been passing it around), and this week Mark got it. We’ve been working on trying to get packed up to leave and campers keep coming and won’t be leaving till the day before we do, so things have been busy. Still, I’ve taken some time the last couple days to do some fun things while Mark had to stay home nursing his cold. Continue reading
With apologies to my readers back home, I’m going to post a bunch of pictures of people you don’t know! This is because today there was a potluck of staff and seasonals and included was a retirement party for a man who hasn’t worked here most of the summer. He had camped and worked here for many years and started the summer with us, but for various reasons he had to retire before the summer even started. Many people here love Fritz so this was his official send-off. Several of those people will be reading this blog, so this one’s for them! (Those of you back home are welcome to read it too, though!) And without further ado, here are the pictures: Continue reading
I’m finally catching up on blogging about our weekend, Tuesday and Wednesday. We went shopping! Continue reading
I thought I should tell a little bit about what the others do around here since the season is winding down. Actually it isn’t going to feel much like it’s winding down this weekend because we have sixty three campers checking in for Labor Day weekend today. Continue reading

After work this afternoon Mark and I saw several musicians starting to set up to play in the courtyard outside the office. As they were tuning their instruments I jumped on my bicycle back to our place and grabbed our camera. Continue reading
The day that Mom and I returned from Klamath Falls, I spent the night with my older sister Sherill, but I was too exhausted by the end of the day to write. Then yesterday I flew home and there was the long drive home and the reunion with Mark, so I didn’t get to write. So after my first day back at work, I’ve decided to do a recap of the highlights of my trip out west. Continue reading
What a day! I went to a memorial service this morning and my 40th high school reunion this evening. Here is what I learned… Continue reading
This morning at 9:00 a woman named Katherine came to pick me up for a Girls’ Day Out. Katherine is one of the seasonals here, but she also works in the office. She is a quilter, and when she found out I am too, she offered to take me to a quilt shop I’ve been wanting to see in Sturgeon Bay. Continue reading
Yesterday Kathy asked if she could see Mark and me in her office and I thought, “Oh, oh!” However, she only wanted to ask if we’d like to see a free play tonight. She said she and Tim would cover our evening rounds if we wanted to go, so we jumped at the opportunity. Our co-workers, Susan and Cherie also went and we followed them to the theater.
