July 5-8, 2011
The picture is of a tree that fell on Friday, July 1 on our lines and part of it hit our Lincoln too, of course. The power surge of it hitting these particular power lines fried one of the electric hot water heaters at the resort.
July 5th, the day after the 4th, is always a little of a downer for me. Here I've decorated the entire lodge with 4th of July stuff, wore red/white/blue for days, and now its over. I will just leave the decorations up for awhile anyway. Laundry picked up today. I almost forgot to call and when they were able to make it, I did a huge sigh of relief.
John and Dave worked on the hot water heater again. The customers weren't too happy. I sewed the lady a custom, quilted apron in her kitchen's colors and gave it to her. It was hard to tell if she liked it or not at first because she was a little upset about the lack of hot water. But it wasn't there (on the following Saturday) when they left so I think she liked it.
We were invited to a cabin for their famous Korean ribs. They were fabulous. John had just gotten back from a kayak outing with customers. I had to pick up one kayak on Oxbow Lake but the rest of them kayaked back to the resort.
Later John took a big group out on the pontoon for a sunset cruise. They loved it.
I sat on the beach with customers most of the day. It was supposed to rain but all we got were a few sprinkles in between some clouds. John went around to all the garbage containers and made a garbage run. The garbage truck will be coming soon.
Wednesday, July 6, John and I both hung out at the beach with customers most of the day. Some customers went to town to the Wampum shop, which is a tradition. The shop has a lot of fun stuff for kids. Later a small girl was walking around the entire resort terrorizing us all with her wooden recorder whistle.
Thursday evening a bunch of people decided to bring appetizers into the lodge. They had to leave on Friday so they wanted one last hoorah. One of the customers brought in his huge Imac to show us his pictures of his latest trip. They were amazing. He has a great camera and his hobby is photography. We saw awesome pictures of Peru, Thailand and South Africa. We ate food, visited with people and had a great time.
Friday morning two cabins left early. They left us some good food and ice cream too. One of the cabins left in the morning, one in the afternoon. While I was saying good-bye to them, a couple of baby raccoons walked by. They are so cute and I will post their picture tomorrow. After the customers left I went into their cabins and turned off the refrigerators and stripped the dirty laundry from the cabin. I will get a head start doing this.
Friday night our niece and nephew came with their mom and dad/my brother. The kids will stay for a week. They come on Friday evening just so they can help us work tomorrow. They also love it here at the resort. There is always something going on and always people to visit or play with. We love it when they visit too so we can spend a lot more quality time with them. Family is important.
It has almost been a year since I started my blog. I love to do this! I will miss it.
