Work

We’ve been here a whole 5 days and so far, so good.  Our bosses, Rick and Julie are sooo nice.

Our picnic table was looking a little ragged with faded stain and the wood was splintering.  I told Rick if he’d give us sandpaper and some paint, we’d spiff it up.  The next morning he showed up with a belt sander and a palm sander for us.  And this morning he dropped off a can of stain and a paintbrush!  So now it’s all pretty and splinter free.

We have actually checked in one family and have sold some firewood and ice!!   The campground has just opened for the season and is pretty empty. There are two motorhomes and the family of tenters.  In the evenings we hop on our little golf cart two or three times and make the rounds anyway.  Mostly just to get used to finding our way around in the dark.

So far the wildlife has us humans outnumbered.  There is a herd of a dozen deer that walk through every evening.  I have to bring my pansies in every night so the deer don’t eat them.  And there are a couple dozen canada geese, some loons and a few coots and mallards;  we’ve also seen bunnies and eagles (from a distance).

All for now, but there’s more fun to come, I’m sure.
