Our first week at work

Today is our last day of the first week at work in Timber Ridge.
We started our week on Tuesday, and all went smoothly with Krystal here to help Brenda refresh her knowledge of the paperwork. She fell right back into it.

I emptied the coins out of the laundry machines and coke machine, then rolled them in wrappers for deposit. I then swept and mopped the laundry floor. It looked much better.
The driveway in front of the laundry is asphalt and it slopes slightly towards the building. The soil in the park is mostly sand and gravel, so when it rains the sandy soil accumulates in front of the door and is easily tracked into the laundry.
It is no big thing as long as the floor is swept on a regular basis.

The park is full with monthly guests, so it is really easier this year. Nobody is coming and going. These people plan to stay for months and we don't expect much turnover while we are here.
The people here are very nice and follow the rules pretty well. There are a few spots that need attention and Brenda and I will take care of that as time goes on.

There are 12 picnic tables to be assembled. I started on them yesterday. The Kubota tractor and trailer that I used last year is not running, so I will have to wait for the owner to come look and see what needs to be done to repair it and if he wants to put any more money into it. It has not been used since we were here in February. I can't move those picnic tables around the park until I get some sort of transportation.

The park looks good on the whole, although there are a lot of limbs and various debris around the park that needs to be picked up. Again, I need the wagon. It will all work out eventually.

We saw Neil last week and we are going to The Texas Opry tonight for dinner and a show with him and His friend, Margaret. We went last year with Ted and Donna and really had a great time.

We had breakfast with Val, Tony, Chris, Linda and their grandchildren last Sunday after church. We hadn't seen Chris and Linda since last February and it was good to see them again.
I really wanted a breakfast burrito that Forest Cafe serves, so I was very happy when Val chose it. She chose it for the convenience for all parties and it was a great choice.

Ta Ta for now
