Settling in

We are now into our second full week as camp hosts. Things are getting easier as we learn the system and get comfortable with it. We are making fewer calls for help as far as the computer program goes.
Guests come and go and some are more permanent. There is a lot of details in managing a campground. There is learning what the owners expect and different situations that come up that haven't been thought of that need resolutions. All in all the owners are good to work for and are patient with us as we are new to this type of situation.

We met up with Jay & Stella for dinner on Saturday night. It sure was great to see them again. They weathered the storm, but Jay had to work many, many hours before, during and after IKE.
Stella went with some friends out of harms way and she didn't come home until last week. The power was restored just before she came home.

We spent all day Sunday with my sister and brother-in-law. We went to church then to breakfast where we met my brother and his wife. We had a wonderful time visiting, as the last time we were in town it was my sisters 50th wedding celebration. There were a lot of people there, so not much time for visiting.

Monday, we went to PPL with Ted & Donna. We needed some things for the rig. They advertise a very large parts department, and they do, but still they didn't have everything that we needed.
While we were there, we did look at some used motor homes. Some were very nice and were at what we thought was a good price. But, we still aren't in the market for a new coach, but it never hurts to look. None of them jumped out at us, and we aren't quite ready to jump back into debt.
With the lending industry in such a turmoil, I'm not sure we could get a loan anyway.

Until next time,

Ta ta for now
