Tuesday June 1~~~~It seems like when we go back to Salem for our 2 days off work, all we do is work and shop. Thresa says welcome to the world of working your days off!!! LOL We don't remember doing that when we worked, I think we are just out of the groove. Next Sunday is my Grandson Justin's graduation party from Oregon State College. They are having the party at Pam and Jeff's house, we have to work that day, but we will get off early (I hope) to make it to his party. Justin has a job up in Bend, Oregon, he and Jen got engaged last week and she will join him in Bend soon. Kent had some errands to run in town, I stopped at my friend Bob McCawley's house to see how he was feeling before we left town for the park. It was raining again when we got here, it felt warm and cozy to be inside with the furnace running and the gentle sound of the rain on the roof. There are hardly any campers in the park tonight. Wednesday 2~~~~It poured down rain all night last night, I kept waking up and looking at the clock, I just couldn't sleep. Kent worked in the office for a couple of hours, I had nothing to do with only 4 campers in the park, I was starting to get sleepy, so I went upstairs and layed down with Pepsi and was almost asleep when Kent came home and woke me up. Kent did a few odd jobs he needed to do on the trailer and we went for a walk in the park. We don't have a wood shed to sell wood from yet, so we help Bill with his shed. The wood is all cut and stacked in the shed for us by the park workers, we just have to keep these carts full for the campers to buy. (picture of Kent) Thursday 3~~~~ We had a few jobs to do today, and we helped Floyd (one of the host's) move some heavy picnic tables in on of the shelters in his area. I took some pictures of the river that runs by the park, there is a beautiful place by the river with a bench to sit on, that is where I told Kent I want to sit and fish when it gets warmer. ( Picture) We had just finished our dinner when we heard a knock on our door; we answered it and there was my grandson Justin and his kitty, Snooky standing there. They were on their way to Salem and stopped to see us again. The factory where Justin just started working at in Bend had a big explosion in the plant yesterday and we don't know yet if they will be shut down for a long time or what is happening. Justin just started working there 3 weeks ago and he has a nice apartment rented and everything. I sure hope the damage isn't too bad and they will be up and running soon. They told the workers to call in on Monday to see when the will be back to work. Now Justin can stay in Salem and attend his party on Sunday without having to leave early to drive back to Bend for work.
