I love everyone I work with here. We all tease each other, like this morning when Mark pulled me out on the road in front of the workers who were driving up the hill to start the day. (We always walk up, so we’re a little slower.) The driver behind us laughed and waved when I finally pulled Mark to the side of the road. Continue reading
I was too tired and sore to write last night. Linda and I were assigned to give a thorough cleaning to the Activity Center and the Arcade. Mark worked with the Maintenance crew. Continue reading
This morning Mark and I led Clyde and Kathy to the VA in Muskogee. We left early so we could go to the Five Civilized Tribes Museum. I mentioned yesterday that Clyde has Cherokee blood, but I forgot that Kathy has Native American blood as well. I think her grandmother was Shawnee. Continue reading
Mark and I are taking Monday and Tuesday off this week because he had appointments scheduled on both days at the VA in Muskogee. Continue reading
Rather than putting Linda in Housekeeping this afternoon, they asked Mark to work with the Maintenance crew because they had to lift one of the cabins four inches. So while he was working with the men, Linda got to stay and help me get set up for next weekend. Continue reading
The river is rising. For those of you in other parts of the country, you may have a better idea than I do what’s going on north of us. I don’t tend to keep up with the national news and weather reports, but I assume there’s been heavy precipitation north of us because the dam was filled to within a few inches of the top, so they’ve been releasing water. As a result, our river is higher than I’ve ever seen it. I’ll try to get a picture to include in this blog. Continue reading
Yesterday we broke camp to drive up the hill and fill our propane tank. It’s a rather arduous procedure that includes putting the cats in our car because no living thing is supposed to be in the RV when they’re filling the propane. We have to bring in the slide-out and the awnings and lift up the levelers. Mark also attached the nozzle that will allow us to use an external propane tank from now on so we won’t have to break camp every time we need propane. Continue reading
I don’t know what’s going on this weekend, but there are a bunch of kids here. We had a great day! Continue reading
It’s been another busy day. We started out by clearing the other half of the floor and Mark swept and mopped it while I got things set up. Fortunately, that section of floor was easier and only took one washing. Continue reading
Mark and I are pretty beat tonight. We moved everything off half the floor in the Activity Center and swept and mopped it. Remember a few weeks ago when I said I let a couple girls splatter Rit dye all over the floor? I’ll never do that again! It took three washings, and we were still picking up color on the third washing. It took us all day. Tomorrow we hope to wash the other half of the floor before the campers come in. That’s all for tonight!
