Final Cart Day and Miscellaneous

Since we had the coffee cart advertised as being open Fri-Sun, we had to open it yesterday morning. We suspected that everybody would be anxious to pack up and leave for home and not care too much for a latte. We were right. Although the cart was open at 7 AM, we watched as the rigs exited one at a time from the park without stopping. By 8:30, it became obvious that the coffee cart was nothing more than a thought for people, so we closed it down at 9 AM. We did have one little girl drive up with her mother in an ATV and asked for a hot chocolate. We gave it to her for free since hot chocolate is not on the price list and Josie just used some chocolate from our Frappucino can.

The figures for the week for us were: 24 hrs on office duty (normal), 24 hrs on the coffee cart (paid), 16 hrs in the cafe (paid). So, we will get paid for 40 hours total for the both of us for the week. That is what we needed, but the chances of getting another nice stretch of paid days is pretty slim - at least until the Christmas week. We need to take a hard look at that situation.

The rest of our day was spent doing some things at home. I have been researching Medicare supplemental insurance for the next year. Since we changed our address to Florida, I need to get insurance for that area that will also cover me for our travels. We also checked out some interesting things to see while we are here and we will be sharing those as we visit them.

The storm has totally passed through and we are once again enjoying the mild temperatures and sunny skies. Until tomorrow...
