Meet and Greet

Our second day on the day shift yesterday was much like the first. It's still a little difficult getting up at 4 AM in order to get everything done and be at work by 6 AM, but it sure beats working through the night. And, we are up early on our fist day off this morning which puts us back on a fairly normal schedule. This week we will take the full 3 days off and return to work on Friday AM.

We didn't arrive at the Meet and Greet meeting for the first wave of incoming workampers yesterday until after we left work at 4:30. By then, they were more than half way through the meeting and we didn't stay very long. Actually, we stayed long enough to eat some of the cake they had for the welcome and to pick up our bag of goodies that contained all the local information and coupons. It was pretty much the same as last year and we took advantage of one of the coupons last night by going to a buffet dinner at Gattis Pizza Restaurant where we had salad, pasta and pizza - all you can eat - for $5.49 each (seniors). It was terrific. We have eaten there before and enjoy their pizza more than any of the major pizza chains.

It may be that the worse part of summer is over. Yesterday we reached a high of only 79 and it went down to 63 last night. That was without any rain. We even sat outside for awhile when we returned home from dinner - until the mosquitoes drove us inside - another problem here. It actually gave our air conditioners a break for once.

It's moving day today. We aren't going that far so preparations will be minimal. I'll include shots of the old vs the new space tomorrow. Once we get into the new location we can prepare everything for the duration of our stay here. We are hoping that it will be for the next 4 months, but we'll see how our bodies hold up to the rigorous schedule. The rest of our time off this week hasn't been scheduled yet, but we will probably take at least one trip to someplace new. That's about it for today...
