This working is for the birds...........

Started the job at the campground today. Went to work at 9:00 AM fixing restrooms. There are 12 restrooms in the park, all needing some repair. I went to tell the boss what I had done today and he asked me if I would ride with the security guard to learn that job. I got done with that at 9:00 PM. Tomorrow I will ride with the guard from 5 to 10 PM, may fix a restroom before that, not sure. I only have to put in 24 hours in a week so I have 12 left to do. The work is not hard and I don't think the boss is gong to be bad to get along with. The other park workers I have met are really nice. While I was working my fingers to the bone, Louise sat on her behinder all day working on a quilt.....LOL Just NOT fair. I guess I had better get to bed so I can rest up for tomorrow.

OH NO !!!!!! It's off to work I go

We have decided to take a workcamp job just north of Dallas. I will be working 24 hours a week in a camp ground doing maintenance work in exchange for a free camp site. They want us here all summer, not sure about that yet. If we like the job we will stay put till September before hitting the road again for a bit. Louise and I can share in the 24 hours. Say I work 12 and she works 12 or any comination. I most likely will doing the work while she quilts. They said they may ask her to work in the office if they are short handed . Any work over 24 pays money. This campground is on Lake Lewisville, so we can fish on our time off.

I have sent up the comment feature to work again. I was getting some oddball comments so I stopped it for a while. Several people have ask about leaving comments so I reinstated it to see how it works out. If you click on comment, leave a meesage, you have to click on anonymous if you don't want your nickmane to appear.

Returning to Dallas area

Lake Livingston

We will be heading back to the campground at Hidden Cove near Dallas on Sunday. I have an interview for a work camp job there on Monday. He called today and said I had the job if we can work out the details. As much as I would like to head on south, we need to stop for a little while to save some money and decide which way we will go come spring. The job there should last 3 months, at least that is what I plan to work out when we meet with the park manager. The good thing about this park is that it is right on a lake so we will be able to fish a lot if the weather ever gets a little nicer. In the first interveiw he said for 24 hrs. a week work we would get a free camp site. That is where the save money thing comes in. With no campground fees and no fuel being used in the motorhome for 3 months, we should be able to save some money. I will post on Monday with the results of the interview.

My Carving box made by Duane Jr.

We are now in Livingston, Tx at the Escapee's RV Park. Our friends Bob and Sharon are here with us till the weekend. We are planning on staying here till the end of the month. After that, we are not sure yet. We hope to do some siteseeing around here before moving on. Louise finally finished the quilt, Jesse loved it. Duane Jr. made me a carving box to carry and store my carving tools in, I love it... Tomorrow I think we will drive over to Lake Livingston to check it out.

About to get on the way

All the doctor appointments have been taken care of and all is pretty well. A few down sides to getting older, but better than the other option...lol We are camped at Lake Lewisville till Monday. The plan is to head toward Livingston, TX to the Escapees RV Park next. The park is about 200 miles south of here. While here I have been able to get the bassboat and do a little fishing. Notice I said fishing...not catching...lol. The wind has been real bad most of the days we have been here. Not pleasent to fish in. I have used the metal detector some in this park. Found a couple of dollars in change, nothing real good. Louise has finished up the quilt she has been working on. We plan to go through Temple, TX when we head south to drop it off at Jesse's, I think. Now that the quilt is done, we can start doing some geocaching again. She has worked on that quilt all day and half the night for the last month. We are both glad it's done...lol After Livingston, not sure what we will do yet, still up in the air a bit. Got to spend some time with Duane Jr. and Brandey. Had a great time playing cards and visiting. Duane made me a tool box for my carving tools, real cool. He did a great job on it.

Moved down the road

We have move over to the city of "The Colony". We are a in campground on Lake Lewisville, about 20 minutes from Duane Jr. and Brandey's. Our plan is stay here for a week or so. I will go pick the bassboat up from Duane's house so we can get some fishing in. Last night it got down to 23, way to cold for me. It is suppose to warm up over the weekend to the low 70s. Now that's what I call NICE. Our friends Bob and Sharon are camping here while they visit with their son and daughter-in-law. We had a real great time with them in Big Bend National Park, so we are looking forward to our time with them. We will also get to spent some time with Duane and Brandey.
