11/28/08 The Day After and the Day Before

Today was a two hitter. The day after Thanksgiving and the day before the Craft Fair/Bake Sale/ Luncheon and dance at night. A busy day to say the least. We still had more shopping to do, the newsletter to get printed, food to prepare for tomorrow, cakes to bake, tables to set up, baked goods to collect and price and list goes on and on and on.

While some of the team members were setting up the Carnaval Room for the Craft Fair, Steve was busy making our cakes for the luncheon tomorrow. One carrot, one Devil's Food,,,,yummy!

The rest of the day was spent setting up cash boxes for the different areas where we'll be involved with money, tweaking schedules for the Activities Staff, getting signs affixed to the boxes we'll put out at the intersections. Listing the craft sale on Craig's List and again, the list goes on and on and on.

Kim and I went shopping for the salad fixin's and dropped the newsletter off for printing. When we got back we had all the salad veggies to get cut up in preparation for tomorrow's lunch. We had entertainment as we worked because the Thursday night Happy Hour with Jim has been moved to the Cantina. Since it gets dark so early now and it cools down when the sun goes down it was thought to be a good idea to move the Happy Hour/Karaoke indoors.

These three were having a good time!

....and all the while, Kim chopped.

Now, I don't know what it is about socks and shoes here in this park but I'm praying every day, "Please Lord, don't ever let me out of the house like this!"

Finally, we had done all we could do. We were as ready as we were going to get and our starting hour was going to come early. It was time to go home.

Today we got DirecTV back. We had had a problem with them when we first arrived and they kept sending us notices about special deals they were having in order to get us back. Well, they sent us one we couldn't refuse so we signed back up again. I'm glad we got it back, I was missing my MASH reruns!

It didn't take me long to fall asleep tonight!
