Sunday 11~~~~~~Kent worked in the office this morning and I cleaned the sites, there were several to do, I think about 16. The weather being so nice makes the people really slow about leaving. Check out time is 1:00 PM and some of them wait until after 1:00 before leaving, Check in time is 2:00 PM and they are sitting here at 8:00 AM hoping to get in their site early, but when it is time to leave, they aren't in such a rush. LOL I had most of the sites cleaned by the time I had to pick up Kent at the office, I think I had 5 left, because of them being so slow. I fixed us lunch and after lunch, we finished the sites together. Kent drove to Mill City for a frappacino and I packed a bag to head for Eugene to visit my daughter Kim and Mike. They might be heading to California to work the strike if it happens with Albertson's. I doubt if it will happen, but they have to be ready with a 2 day notice. Kent is going to stay at the park, he doesn't want to go. After I stopped in Salem and picked up some luggage for Kimmy in case she does go to Ca. it was late afternoon by the time I arrived there. Mike cooked a real good steak dinner for us and we spent the evening visiting and watching television. Monday 12~~~~~Kim and Mike have Mondays off, so we enjoyed our morning coffee on their deck. I gave Kimmy a hair cut, she has never had anyone cut her hair but me since I went to beauty college. Sometimes she trims it herself if I am not around, we always manage to get it done. LOL After we ate lunch, Kim fell asleep in her recliner, so I went outside and I picked blackberries. Their bushes are just loaded with them, so I picked till I was tired and my hands started itching from the branches. I washed the berries and while Kim made a meat loaf for dinner I made a blueberry cobbler using Grandma Enright's recipe called "Apple Pan Dowdy", using blue berries instead of apples, it was so good warm with ice cream. After dinner we both went outside to pick more berries, we picked where I picked earlier only on the other side of the fence. All of a sudden Kim was moving away from some hornets that were buzzing around her and she yelled, "HORNETS MOM" RUN!!!!!! There was a very large paper hornets nest in the bush where I picked all those berries earlier. I had noticed some hornets, but I left them alone and they did the same to me, but tonight they weren't very friendly. LOL We went out in their pasture and we picked black berries down by the creek until we had all we wanted, what a fun day. We divided them in half and we froze them to make jam or cobbler later on. Kim and I stayed up real late visiting and watching television, Mike went to bed as he goes to work early in the morning and he had a bad tooth that he was having pulled in the morning.
Wednesday 13 ~~~~~We were going to go shopping this morning, but we drank 2 pots of coffee and visited instead. Kim had to meet Mike at the dentist office to take him home from having the tooth extracted. I dropped her off there and I headed home to Salem. Kent and I were invited to go out to dinner with Bill and Shirley, another couple from the park who are leaving in the morning. We had a great broasted chicken dinner at the Wooden Nickel. That is 4 couples who have left already. Soon it will be our turn. The park closes to the public on October 31.
