July 18 through 29, 2011

Monday 18~~~~The wedding is over and everything is back to normal, it is raining here in the park and it is so peaceful, I just love it. The rain is so calming and gentle to listen to on the roof of the trailer. People are out walking in the drizzle and buying lots of wood to burn in the fire pits. I love these days, as I love to stay inside and read books or watch old movies I have recorded.
Tuesday 19~~~ day off Wednesday20~~~~day off Thursday 21~~~~The park has so much wood that needs to be split and stacked into our wood sheds, it keeps the rangers busy hauling wood to fill the wood sheds for us to sell. There are some blind kids that come up to the park to work with their supervisors guiding them, they help us by splitting kindling and tying it into bundles for us to sell. It is really something to watch these handicapped people work away so happy with a hatchet splitting wood, laughing and talking as they work. I have a terrible time trying to bundle the sticks and tie a cord around them and they do it blind with no trouble. They delivered the kindling to our wood shed and they together carried it from the van and stacked it in the shed working as a team, they even swept the side walk when they were done. Today was their last day to work in the park for this year, so I baked brownies which I frosted with chocolate fudge frosting for them to eat at the picnic table in our site. The park Mgr. bought them each a glass of lemonade from a little girl selling it across the road from our site, it was so cute when Joey who was so excited over the treats, clapped his hands together and with the biggest smile ever, said "this is the best day ever". Ryan the oldest one who is 21, has been blind since birth asked one day while he was working if there were any hot chicks in the park!! We really got a kick out of that one. We could all learn a lesson in life from these kids when we think we have it tough. Joey is the short one with the red hat and Ryan is the tall one. I took a few pictures of them working raking sites and doing the wood. Enjoy!!!!!
