Fun TImes

All of our group of 12 were here this week!!   This has been an unusual project, in that, we have been missing 1-3 people the first week of work due to family needs.   However, we finally were united as a team and even got a picture of all of us.   Yeah!!  

It is hard to believe but we are over half way done for this assignment.   This is a hard working group and the “to-do” list has shrunk a little bit.   (The list will still be long when we have to pack up and leave.)    But, the men are working on the flooring and framework for the new doors.   Every day we see progress from the day before.   The ladies have just a little bit of painting to do in the bathrooms to finish up their work in the building.   For a couple of days  this week, the ladies had a nice break and got out their sewing machine to make some curtains to cover some doors/windows to block out light.   Those are now done.   On Monday, we will be pulling out our paint brushes etc. once again.

It seems in my blog I highlight our work more than our play.   We do have more than our share of fun.   It is amazing how strangers can come together and, in no time, be enjoying, sharing one another company.   This week was no exception.   Valentine’s Day was celebrated this week by a carry in and newlywed game.   What hilarity when you think we have been married more years than most people think possible.   I guess it is so hard because we have too many things to choose from for the answers.  Believe it or not, the Snows won---for the first time ever, I think.   The following night, Lake Swan hosted a dinner for us.   During our time together, a gift was presented to us by the camp director (We are sure “he” arrived via a couple of other RVICS couples and had traveled hundreds of miles from home).   Inside, a stuffed spider!!   There is a looong story there about how this spider has been passed from us to another RVICS couple of the years.   It is never known when/where he might show up.   The men have found it enjoyable to relax doing a game of horseshoes but the rules seem to go out the window but there is always a winner.   To add to our excitement this week, a ‘possum decided to call our trash can home.   Is that fun or not??

Even though, we have experienced cooler and wet conditions this week, we are still thoroughly enjoying the beauty around us.   A couple of sand hill cranes can been seen quite often eating near where we are working.   A trip to the lake in the evening is very relaxing and calming.    After the men’s work, weather permitting, we often pull up chairs and have “pop on the patio”.   This is a good way to relax the tired and very sore muscles.

It is good the weekend is now upon us.   For the next 3 days, we have we no official work are good to relax---and, yes, look back and remember the good week we have just had.
