Back on the job!

My new work station
June 21 – It’s back to work today but not until 5.  Only a 4 hour shift but could be busy with kids and we have a Muslim group with 30 sites and they have a lot of kids.  They’re all in tents and it was cold again last night.  We have to do special requests for them, like places in the bathhouse to wash their feet etc.

Bill went up the Rec Hall at 10 to meet the veggie and pie lady who Pam, our boss, had called and asked if she’d sell us some rhubarb.  She told Bill it was a one time deal but we got a nice big bunch for $5.  Enough for several crisps.  We left later to go to one of the area Farmers Market. 

The Farmers Market was somewhat disappointing.  Not much has come in as yet.  This is produce actually grown by the people and not gotten from cold storage someplace.  There were only lettuces, greens, bok choy, radishes and spring onions.  I think each week it will get better.  I got some snow peas and arugula.  Had some arugula on my lunch salad!  Then I put together 2 small rhubarb crisps and baked them in the toaster oven.  One is gluten free for us and the other is regular for our co-workers and Pam and Steve.  Small portions but then not everyone likes rhubarb.

On the way home we tried a new route to verify where it went and then stopped at a little walk up diner to check out the menu.  Bill said “we have to buy something”, so I splurged on a single scoop cup of cappuccino crunch and he had a hot dog and coke.  That’s why I had a nice salad at home to cancel out the ice cream.

We went in to work at 5 and I packed leftovers for our dinner around 7.  I took in the rhubarb crisp and whipped cream for everyone.  They all seemed to enjoy it and Bill was bummed that he had to wait til after work to have his.  It was pretty busy the first 2 hours.  Lots of kids coming in for ice cream and adults for firewood.  Before we left for the night Barbara and I did a lot of our morning chores so things will run smoother when we get in.  Check out isn’t until 1 so we could have people in for a while. 

After having our crisp we watched some TV and read til bedtime.
