Jam Packed Day

The long day started with my appointment at  the Audiologist to pick up my repaired hearing aid and to have my hearing test. It started off with her telling me the hearing aid was received on the 14th (a week ago) and she was sorry they didn't call me when it arrived back in the office. Anyway, we proceeded with the hearing test and my hearing hasn't gotten any worse since the last test about two years ago. She also indicated that I had purchased the right hearing aids based on my test results. She tweaked the programs a little bit and I was out the door after paying a $60 charge for the tune-up. There was no charge for the repair (warranty) or the hearing test (insurance).

I called our friend Scott Anderson on the way back to the fifth wheel to schedule our planned lunch with he and Valerie. Their daughter was also in town visiting them from Sun Valley ID and they came to Jackson from Yellowstone where Scott and Valerie are working this season. We met at the Lift in town, and had a great lunch and enjoyed catching up on each other's travels and our experiences over the last couple years since we last met:

We came back to our fifth wheel following lunch to show them the lodge and to visit outside on this beautiful day. They liked the area and the lodge so much they asked Judy, our front desk manager, for her card so they could call her for possibilities of working here next year. With all of the problems she has had with the young girls that were hired this summer, she may welcome another workamping couple.

We were again sold-out at work as we worked alone. The girl (Marissa) that we were scheduled to work with did not show up for work for the third time in three days and we assume she will not return. That means we will work alone for the foreseeable future on Monday and Tuesday nights. We prefer it that way anyhow. She was one of the nicer choices at the front desk but was wrought with personal problems. Too bad for a single mom at the age of 20. We hope she is OK and gets her life together soon.

Today we take our entries over to the Fair. I have a new cross stitch to enter, and Josie is entering an afghan and also a photo of one of the barns we took at Mormon Row. We are both anxious to see if we win anything for our entries...
