July

It has definitely been an interesting month so far.  We have made some hard and interesting decisions lately.

This past week we have determined that we will not be participating in the Iowa State Fair.  This would have been our 15th year but with our several aches and pains we made the decision not to volunteer.  This was a very hard decision to make for us.  We love the fair.  We talked it over with Scott & Diane to be sure it was ok for us to stay the month of August.  It worked out well for them, also. 


We have been looking for a different position the last few weeks for the summer of 2015.  We submitted our resume to a few campgrounds and we were contacted by a couple.  It was kind of nice having people contact us to work for them.  We accepted a position in Charlottesville, VA at the KOA there.  We will start on May 1, 2015.  In case you're interested here's their web address:   http://koa.com/campgrounds/charlottesville/ .    They are a young couple that have had the campground for about 10 years.  I believe her parents had it earlier.  They are looking for a couple of people to work in the store and registration only and for 20 - 30 hours per week.  We've never been to this area before so we're excited.

That's our big news for the month. 

Yesterday, we were woken up around 7am.  One of the work camping people called us to tell us that there were several policeman with guns near our camper.  Then, we heard the bull horn calling to one of our campers to step outside, they wanted to talk.  Yes, I opened the blinds and took a picture.

 

 



 So I'm sitting here at the kitchen table sipping coffee and watching them.  The person wasn't home so they finally left.

Last week we made a quick run up to Madison, SD so I could renew my license.  Long drive but it definitely showed us that we're not up to much these days.  Sharon messed up her back and I messed up my knee a little more.  But with a little TLC, we'll back in a few weeks. 

My birthday is coming up on Thursday so Scott & Diane are taking us out to eat to a local steak house.  And, of course, their dog, Petey, will sing happy birthday to me.  I'll try and record it so that you all can enjoy at a later date. 

Until next time.
