Grit and Back to El Centro

After the post yesterday it probably seems like we are packing up and moving on. Not the case - yet. We will stay and do whatever we can to make things better at the park. We had a conversation with the owner yesterday afternoon and he was listening to the suggestions we had for improving the occupancy: set up a rally for charity, gift certificates, give out discount coupons at the cafe, have a "get to know us" month where all stays are 30% off, etc. He liked the ideas and he also showed us the drawings for the expansion he has planned within the next year. As we said before, this is going to be quite a place eventually. We will see where these suggestions go.

We have a meeting with the owner this morning to discuss the schedules for the Thanksgiving Weekend. We already know that he needs help in the Cafe as people cram the place on holidays and they have lines running outside the door everyday. Any hours we spend there would be on the clock for pay. That's a relief. Our schedule today has us working the office between 4 and 10 PM. We will actually be off about 8:30 since nothing happens after that hour.

We also made a trip back to El Centro yesterday because Walgreen's made a mistake on Josie's prescription. Her prescription called for 90 pills and they filled it for 30. We got that fixed and also had service performed on the Jeep which was overdo.

After bragging about the weather yesterday, we woke up to 25 MPH winds this morning. Oh, well...
