I have not posted anything in nearly two weeks, so I am going to try to catch everyone up in this one post. We were off on Wednesday and Thursday (the 4th and 5th), and we did the usual. Some laundry, some house work. We had to return our broken phone, so we had to find a FedEx drop off. While we were out, we went to a farmer’s market and I bought some pickling cucumbers and some freshly shelled beans. The next day, since we had three days off this week and nothing important that needed doing, I made some refrigerator pickles with the cucumbers I had bought, I baked two loaves of bread (they came out ok, but a little too dense–maybe from the humidity. I don’t know.), and I cooked the beans.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we worked, all in the snack shack. We had a great weekend, selling 118 pizzas in three days. We would have sold more, but there was a mixup with our Sunday schedule and we closed up three hours earlier than we had originally planned (long story–the two managers just never seem to be on the same page, and we followed our printed work schedule (from one manager), not what we had discussed (with the other manager)). Anyway, aside from that, we were really happy with how the weekend went.

Monday was our agreed upon one day of housekeeping, and we cleaned a whopping eight cabins. They were all the one bedroom ones that sleep eight(yogi cabins), and we just kind of got in the groove. It was still a long, hot day, but since we knew we were only doing housekeeping one day this week, it seemed less tiring.

Tuesday and Wednesday we were off. On Tuesday, we went into Cypress to do some shopping. We went to Costco, and while we were there, the rains came, the power went out, and the thunder and lightning came. It was crazy. Luckily for us, Costco has a generator system for when the power goes out, so we were still able to check out. We were both drenched by the time we got to the car and got everything loaded, but just as quickly as the rain started, it stopped, and when we got to Wal-Mart to do the rest of our shopping, it was clearing up. Tuesday evening, we were invited to a cookout by another work camping couple. They are two older ladies that have been traveling together for some time now. About twelve of us were there, and we had hot dogs, some salads, and some desserts. It was a nice evening, except for the flies. They were everywhere, driving everyone crazy the whole evening.

Thursday: snack shack open again. We worked Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all in the snack shack. We sold around 125 pizzas in four days–not quite as good as our 118 in three days, but I guess since it was Father’s day weekend, people planned on cooking out. We just never really know what to expect. In the three weekends we have been open, every day has been different from the last. Maybe after a few more weeks of tracking sales, we can predict what a day might be like, but since the customers are different every single weekend, we may never be able to predict sales.

Well, that is a brief summary of what we have been doing for the last two weeks. We will try to be good and post more regularly again…
