Our last days on the job

September 2/3 – Our last two days of working at Valley View RV.  Bill is not a happy camper as he really loves it here and all of the seasonals that he has gotten to know.  He loves mowing grass and being productive.  I don’t mind the work at all, especially now that things have slowed down tremendously.  Sue and I had very few phone calls on Saturday and ended up checking in about 7 units.  The Laundromat was busy in spurts.  We had time to crochet and I taught her how to do the ripple pattern.  She started on a practice one and made copies of my instructions so she should be good to go.

We managed to get a REALLY early start on cleaning the Laundromat and mopping and so when 7 came around we balanced to the penny and were out of there just after 7.  Sue and Hank asked if we’d like to go to Connie’s for dinner Bill left a little early to get a shower so once we were all organized and ready we lit out for Connie’s.  Well, it was Saturday Prime Rib night and it was packed.  There was a line to get on the list so we opted to head to the Chinese place across the road.  We parked right in front and were seated immediately but it wasn’t long before they were filled.  I’m sure it was the overflow from Connie’s, so good for China Grove.

Bill had the chicken lo mein and I had the chicken with snow peas full dinner.  We shared

the appetizer plate and I had my egg drop soup and he ate the green peppers out of my dinner.  The rice was late arriving and he had some of that also, so we left sated and no take home.

Stuffed at we were, we all were tired after a long day and we were all ready to head home.  I didn’t last long with my book and we were in bed before 11.

Sunday I was on my own in the laundromat and it was overall a slow day.  People came in spurts again and it was cold this morning.  I started the day with only 2 reservations but ended up with 5 by closing.  I had all the cleaning done except that Bill swept the floors for me.There were 2 last minute

arrivals but I managed to be home by 7:30.  I know Bill was sad that our stint is over, but I’m ready to move on to other adventures.

The sun was setting as I walked home and it was beautiful so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots before going in to get some dinner going.

We heated our chicken and other leftovers and watched our show.  Once again I fell asleep with my book in my hands.
