56 of 365 of What it is Like to Run a Resort

Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2010
The rest of our customers left today. It was sad to see them go because they were such a good group. They always take a bunch of our cabins, which we really appreciate. This last weekend they took 6 cabins, which we are very happy about. Because of them we were full this last weekend.

After they left I went into the cabins and turned off the heat, refrigerators and hot water. John told me I should have left the heat on so that when I went in to clean them that I wouldn't be cold. He's so nice. John and I stripped the beds and took out all the dirty laundry from the cabins too.

I then went into the basement and put clean laundry in bags and delivered them to the cabins. Afterward 2 cabins are cleaned and I am tired. I still have to clean out 2 fireplaces but I will leave them until tomorrow.

John did a bunch of paperwork and computer work today. I happened to sit down for a little while and did a couple of invoices. Then John noticed that I had the wrong information on a couple of them. I guess I'm out of practice. So I will redo them tomorrow.

Later I went to the monthly Lioness meeting. We had the senior center's curtains sent in with our laundry and I finally remembered to get reimbursed by the Lioness club. So now I can relax about that. I think I forgot to bring them my expense receipt for 2 months now. Finally I remembered.

After the meeting I went out for a drink with another lady who runs a motel in town. We compared notes about the season's bookings, etc. We both were down in booking in June but our summers were okay. It was fun to get out and talk girl talk.

I got home around 9:30 and John was watching tennis. He stayed up pretty late to catch some of the matches. I read a book until late. That's it for now. I hope you weren't too bored by our life of running the resort.
