7/20/07 Did You Say PINK?

We woke this morning to absolutely delightful weather! Bluer than blue skies, a gentle breeze and lower temperatures than we've had. What a great way to start the day.

Bob finished up the third Kamper Kabin roof today so that leaves only four to go. Its like the picnic tables now, he can't wait for them to be done.

Our weekend campers started coming in by early afternoon and soon the weekend would be in full swing.

We did have one camper come in who has been here for a couple days now and inquire about a float trip. Now let me give you a little bit of what this particular camping family has been like. There are four adults and one small child (about 4 yrs old) in a medium size RV. The second day they were here the dad comes in and asks where emergency care is located as the small boy is sick. Barb gave him a map and showed him where the emergency room is located in Sullivan, 5 miles away. He leaves. An hour later he's back and wants to know if we have a skimmer for the pool. Barb says yes and asks why he wants to know. Well, it seems as though they took the sick child into the pool and he threw up! Oh, if looks could kill....... Barb went out to the pool to assess the damage and was gone quite awhile. She finally came back and announced that the pool would not have to be closed as she feared as they did get him to the side quickly and she was able to clean up the mess. Now I ask you, who in their right mind takes a child that is sick enough that you ask where the emergency room is.... swimming???? OK, so these people aren't high on our list of smart campers.

So the husband comes in this morning and wants to know about the floating. All was going well until he said.......(you aren't going to believe this)......."My wife is really into pink, do you have a pink canoe, she really wants a pink one." Once again,,,, if looks could kill. They settled for one of the gun metal gray ones we have and took the sick kid with them on a four hour float in a canoe. It truly does take all kinds to make the world go round.

Late afternoon and early evening we were busy with check ins and the time passed pretty quickly. Bob, on the other hand, put in a 12 hour day and was found relaxing by the time I made my way home. I'll be glad when these Kabin roofs are done too, Bob is tired and I hate to see him work so hard. You can bet that if we take another workamping job it won't be for 40 hours a week!

So there it is, another day down, one day closer to getting on the road again.
