This morning at about 5:30, Mark took off on his motorcycle headed for Texas. There is a matter of business he’s been trying to take care of by phone or online, and it hasn’t been working, so he decided the only thing for it was to go there in person. Continue reading
Around here, after the holidays comes a mass exodus and then a mass influx. For the last two days, we’ve been helping pull all the used linens out of rental units (park models) and trying to help with the laundry as well as do our rounds. Continue reading
We had only been working half a day when our boss, Mary Beth, asked Mark if he was sure he wanted to work in Wisconsin next summer. This was because she found out his background is in security and she could use a good security person next summer! We assured her we still plan to go back to Wisconsin. Continue reading
This morning we met with Mary Beth and she took us on a tour of all the places we’ll be cleaning. When we first talked with her in our phone interview, she said we’d be cleaning the bath houses, and I thought she said we’d be cleaning the activity center. Today I realized she said the activity centers! Remember all those shops I mentioned before? The lapidary shop, the stained glass shop, the art center, etc, etc?

I actually got up before Mark this morning and left him sleeping while I tried to attend an early morning walking session. I got to Woodland Hall where we were supposed to meet, only to discover that it was called off due to a meeting in the building. I decided to take my own walk around the park and see the end we haven’t gotten to yet. (Did I mention there are 1500 sites here?) Continue reading
Today was our last day of travel. Yess!!! We have enjoyed the trip, but we are ready to settle down for a few months now. So are our cats! Continue reading
I have been really stressed lately about the fact that we didn’t have a job lined up for this winter. Our job here ends on October 19th and the only jobs I was finding offered no pay other than a site for our RV or they were in the wrong part of the country. I had originally thought I wanted to be in Mississippi or Alabama this winter, but when I couldn’t find work there I expanded to the entire southeastern United States. I put our resume out and made inquiries and no one responded. Continue reading
