Hello, all. I have been unable to get to a computer or wi-fi for seven days. Yipes! So I will consolidate the days I missed into one. Soon we will have a computer set up in Door County, our winter home. Then we shouldn't miss you so much.
Today's date is Nov. 16, 2010. Yesterday I pounded the pavement in Sturgeon Bay, Egg Harbor, Fish Creek and Sister Bay for jobs. This is the same type of town that I live in - tourist town. So jobs will be impossible to find. If something turns up, it will be a miracle. But at least I have tried and will continue to try.
We closed down our resort for the winter. We will have customers for deer hunting starting this Saturday through the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Then I will serve Thanksgiving dinner to my son, husband and whoever wants to come over. Then we go back to Door County until December 20. We will go back to Mercer for our New Year's customers and after they leave, that's it until May. So we will be living in Door County for the winter.
John and I are very excited to be trying something new in our lives. He bought the resort in 1998 and has been running the resort ever since. He is excited to start a new life in Door County for the winters.
We went for a short trip to the Seattle area to visit John's aunt, Georgia. She is 85 years old and has been on hospice for awhile. She recognized John when we saw her, but not me. She enjoyed our company for four days straight and then we flew back home. We spent a lot of time visiting with our friend, Lorrie, while we were there and our other friend, Laurie Rauch. She used to live next door to us. So we had some fun inbetween visiting Aunt Georgia.
John feels like he is on an extended vacation. Door County is much more mild than Mercer. In fact, Mercer just got snow. We had 50 degrees and sunshine.
It will be hard for me not to have something to do while I am in Door County. So I went around looking for jobs all day yesterday. No one said they were hiring. I went to every bakery, inn, WalMart, grocery store, Target and Younkers. I applied at them all and there are a lot of bakeries. We'll see what happens. I always wanted to work in a bakery.
So today I got some time to try the library here in Egg Harbor. There are not a lot of hours they are open, so it was difficult to get in.
So now I have to go. I have to look on-line for more jobs and then I go to an Altrusa meeting for dinner. I will be meeting some local ladies and learning how to help children read or something like that. Its a volunteer position, which will at least give me something to do in the meantime.
Thanks for reading my blogs and I hope I will be able to get more old stories out soon.
