New Beginning, New Location

                              

                                              new site off the hill

Now that I’m here at the campground, it’s time to learn what my responsibilities are.  Sunday I shadowed Steve, who works just weekends.   I just sat and watched, listened and learned about the park and the area.  The rest my hours for the week I worked with Mindy, who is the manager.  She let me do things and answer the phone.  I did okay, but I am not that comfortable enough to stay by myself yet.  It will take time, although it has been slow, so it may take awhile.  I will be assigning sites, taking payment for the sites, both nightly and monthly.   Monthly tenants also pay for electricity and propane, so I will have to read meters, and collect those fees.  There is also a gift store with some groceries, ice and sometimes pizza.  Once I learn the process, it should be fairly simple.  It’s just a learning curve to get past.

                                 

Yes, I have moved to a new site, near the laundry room.  I was up at the top of the hill and it was rather windy and a bit noisier.  It was closer to the train and and closer to the Knights of Columbus Hall where they have a lot of activities and when there is a band, I could hear the load base sounds until the wee hours of the am.  I still hear them, but much of the sound is blocked by lots of trees.  A couple more reasons to change sites was because the WiFi antenna is located on the laundry room building.

I do have a W/D,but it uses a lot of electricity, and since we get $10.00 per week toward laundry, it just makes sense to use their laundry.   Yesterday morning I decided to take my laundry (mainly because of the comforters and linens) into West, TX to do it all at once, rather than do it here.  I had four months of a fine dust and dirt on everything, so I had quite a bit, (four machines and four dryers). We were supposed to get rain, so I wanted to get back before it started.  We didn’t get much, just a sprinkling, but the temperature has cooled off a lot.  That helps with the electric too.

No work today. and I still don’t know what my schedule will be, although they do know that I need to have the time off when Ted is here and we have to work around that.  My son called this morning to go over what we will be doing when he visits in a week.  I am really looking forward to his visit.  He will be arriving next Friday afternoon.  We will be going to Fort Worth to visit with  Sandi and one of his former H.S. teachers, who now lives near FW.  We also need to figure out when he can visit with his Aunt Evelyn.  He will be leaving Tuesday afternoon. It will be a busy weekend.

The rest of today was catch up with blog reading, a bit of TV and a just veg'ing.  I had my mail forwarded and it came yesterday, so today I have been taking care of odds and ends on the phone, The main thing that got done was paying my CA tax bill and making sure that my IRS bill was paid. Yea!!! I am debt free again.

Not much else is happening, so I hope that you all are having a great week.

Thanks for visiting
