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

Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2010
I cleaned 2 cabins today, Spruce and Hemlock. I did only one load of laundry too. Then I took the manual dolly and moved 10 sewing machine boxes, weighing 40 pounds each, into the lodge.

John could see how tired I was so he offered that we go out for dinner. Of course I didn't argue.

John had bailed out the boats from the rain, mowed the lawns (which is difficult for him with his disability), went for a kayak outing with customers, checked mouse traps, got some customers set up with a fishing motor boat (instructions, etc.) and so he was very tired too.

We went to Ruggers Landing for their all you can eat pizza for $7. We saw so many locals there it was amazing. John said he was set for social activities with the town folk for weeks now.

We talked with a lot of people we knew and then 2 of them joined us at our table. We all ate our pizzas and visited. It was very fun. One of our friends bought our dinners, which was very nice.

My son called collect and we talked about his legal troubles, too. John and I might have to help him financially, which would be a major set back for us. Maybe I'll take some money out of my retirement fund instead of trying to get out a loan. What a stressful way to end the evening. Tomorrow will probably be no different with regards to my son. We'll see.
