Long day....

July 28 - It was a long morning!  We worked 5 hours straight.  The other couple had taken part of the day off so it was just Bill and I as Shaun had to go to town for a list of things. Bill did wood deliveries once we did our cleaning for the morning and we did 2 cabin cleanings.  I did the 10:00 children’s activity, tile painting.  Only had 4 kids and their grandparents showed up so I really didn’t have to do much!  It was a tiring morning.

Bill made his lunch then I made mine.  He took a nap and I made gingerbread and a pasta and meatball casserole to share with everyone tonight.  I did some prep for the salad but saved the rest to  do until the last minute.  They order pizza and always include us, but I don’t ever have it.  Now that Bill has been a regular we need to reciprocate.

Once we went back to work the place was humming with guests and lots of kids.  There were more than 50 check ins today!  We did the rest rooms then spent most of our remaining time delivering wood, re-checking the restrooms and make trash runs.  I told the group when we got back this afternoon that we were providing dinner.  Kim and Paul had been invited to one of the camper’s place for burgers but Jean and Shaun were very appreciative of my salad, Italian meatball pasta casserole and gingerbread for dessert.  Shaun was especially pleased with the gingerbread.  He said he hadn’t had in 15 years since his grandmother died.  I might make a batch of my molasses ginger cookies next!  We had leftovers since I planned for 6 but that’s no problem for us!

We headed for home around 9:30 and we were both pooped.  I feel asleep with my book in my hands! 

I found .36 today for a new total of $1.88.
