Happy 1st Anniversary, Violet
and Dillon!
I’ve had a crazy-busy day; we’re doing
another camping night with the cousins and friends; and I’ll need to make this
quick so that I can get out there and join in on the last bit of fun before we
try to get some sleep after I missed out on the campfire while busy at the Inn.
Violet and Dillon have had a happy, family
and friends day while celebrating their anniversary; but other than spending a
few minutes with them here and there – like at church and while they were at
the Inn for the second buffet sitting; I wasn’t able to help them much with
that celebration. They’ve had another
amazing weather day, though; and we’ve had our second day in a row with the ‘feels
like’ temperature topping out at over one-hundred! That’s been great for hopping in the river to
cool off; canoe rides; park play; biking; and barbeques for everyone – except those
of us working all afternoon and evening at the Inn or elsewhere around town.
We had a fun camping night last night; Tai
Chi with all of the extra exercise buddies this morning was really great; and
the multi-family breakfast was wonderful too.
Michael and I needed to be at the park early to set up for the church
service; and then we had a blast with the teen praise team and other teens and
kids helping out with that special holiday weekend service – one of the last
that we’ll be doing with the teen praise team before going away to college in
August. With three buffets booked for
the Inn, we had to pack up right after the service; get to the Inn; and get to
work. I’m not going to say much about
how hot it was in the kitchen again today, since I do get to spend two-thirds
or more of my work time in the air-conditioned dining rooms; but it was a tough
day for all of the kitchen crew – and Michael and I are both pretty much wiped
out now.
We’re going to need that day off tomorrow –
though we’ll be a bit busy helping out with the parade and then the picnic at
the park too.
While the work at the Inn was tough, I
still had a lot of fun; and it is always great to know that we’re helping to
make this holiday special for everyone.
Michael and I needed to work late because in addition to the clean-up;
we needed to get the library set up for the second self-serve breakfast of the
weekend for our guests. That’s why it
was past-eleven by the time we locked up and came home. Michael’s grabbing a shower and getting
changed before joining the camping crowd; and that’s what I’ve been doing while
multi-tasking my bedtime computing.
I really am looking forward to the day off
and spending some time with our families and friends, which is why that’s all I
have for tonight; so that I can get out to our temporary campground and the fun
waiting for me there. There are other
journals you can read to get more details on the fun that I missed out on while
working; though I’m glad that everyone really is having an amazing
holiday! I should also add that the
pizzeria had another great day, and while we’ll have to get more of the details
from Rebecca and Jen tomorrow; they are even happier with how everything is
going for them – and apparently well-ahead of their business plan for their
opening weekend too.
That’s news that I can write about another
day too, though, and that’s pretty much everything I wanted to report for
today; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
