June

The last few days have been really HOT!  We haven't reached 100 degrees yet but the thermometer but it looks like we'll get close this week.  Thank goodness for air conditioning.

Last Monday a 100 year old tree fell down on some power lines at the end of our road.  We were without power for a few hours.  Had a nice strong breeze and almost everyone survived with no problems. 

Have a few more new workers started this past couple of weeks.  Larry - his wife Donna doesn't work - is another one of our maintenance people.  They'll be here for about 6 weeks.  They're from Indiana and he drives school bus.  So will be returning in August.  They also hired a neighbor girl, Samantha, 16 years old to make pizzas at night.  She works a couple of nights a week.  She's earning money to go to Disney World next summer.

We're not sure how long one of the work camper couples will last.  They said they would be here until November but. . . .  Let's just say they're not Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee but he likes to stand around and look at people while they work.  He hates being alone even though they have 2 dogs and live in a 20 foot travel trailer.  That's right - they full-time in this camper.  When Jinnie is up working (making pizzas), Howard will find some excuse to come up and stand around.  Some days it quite comical.  Not sure Scott & Diane find it comical, though.

We've been invited to dinner at the bosses on Wednesday.  That's Scott & Diane's house.  Not sure why or if there's an ulterior motive but guess we'll find out on Wednesday.  They've been really nice to us lately.  I mean really nice.  And we've already agreed to come back for the fall and winter months.

Looking forward to some time off come August.  Hoping to catch up with family and friends when we head north.  We'll probably be staying at the KOA in Adel but trying to get in to a different campground near Altoona.  Not sure if we'll be able to stay since she doesn't like State Fair people.  Have some friends staying there for a few months and they're trying to get us a spot. 

There have been some very interesting people staying here this past week.  Sometimes you just wonder how they manage to get along in this world.  Have had a couple of first time camper users.  We can definitely relate.  It's been fun helping them.  Actually makes me feel like I know something.
We like the people working here - just find a few more interesting then others.

Just realized we haven't taken any pictures since Memorial Weekend so maybe we'll take some this week.  Thought about a little outing on Thursday - but weather channel says 100 degrees.  Might be a good day to stay inside and watch others work.  We have Wednesdays and Thursdays off.

Until next time or I have something exciting to share.
