We worked yesterday and today....it has been a long day today.....we had about 8-10 come in and a few of those did not have a reservation. Bill and I are continually amazed at how many people just stop in and do not have a reservation and expect to have a site for them . The park is full and we have only 2 spaces left..... not counting the people who called about a half hour ago and have yet to show up.
But the good side of this is that we are off for the next 5 days! We are beginning to see people heading home from vacations. I'm sure that they will be going home and then the middle of Sept. to Oct....more snowbirds will be moving around heading south! Isn't that the way it is with RVer's??????
This week has been kind of quiet..... last night our friends who are workkampers also asked us to come to their "house" for a BBQ with another couple. We had a nice supper and a great visit. The other couple had worked at Deer Creek RV park in Buffalo,Wyoming when we went to Gillette, Wyoming for the Newmar International Rally. We had stopped there when we went through a couple of years ago and didn't realize it was them! Now is that a small world or what????
It has been really nice here and is supposed to stay that way for a couple more days before turning hot again.... guess it is still summer in Kansas!
Well, this is about it for tonite......
Until next time!

We are still alive and kicking!
Good morning!
We are still around and the weeks continue to zip by! It has been over a month since I've last written and I know many have probably quit reading or checking.... I don't blame you..... but we are still here working in Wichita.
We have been doing some 3 days "shifts" and by the end of the day we are so tired it is hard to get on this computer to do anything! We worked over the July 4th weekend. Erin asked me if we did anything special on the4th and I told her we worked and were in bed asleep by 10:00! Exciting!huh?
Last week on July 17 Bill and I went to Lawrence to spend the weekend with Jeff and Megan. They bought a different house so we were excited to see them and the new house.It is a split level and huge! They have so much more room and we helped them install new light fixtures and cleaned out their garage ( most of it was our storage boxes from the shed at the other house). All of our "stuff" is now in their basement in a storage room with shelves...so nice and they will have plenty of room to fill it up now! They will be closer to work as it is also on the west side of L. and so their driving time will be about 15-20 min. less now. They are glad about that. Jeff has his own "man cave" he calls it.... aka...the downstairs family room. :)
Megan and Jeff graciously offered for me to take her car and use it while I was in Topeka for 3 days. So we drove to Erin's on Sunday morning. I spent Monday-Wednesday with Erin and Ryan's babysitting Brayden and Lauren. Lauren's babysitter had a week off so I stayed 3 days with her and then her mom stayed with her the rest of the week. Brayden was such a great help and was so good. I really enjoyed spending time with them all. Wednesday, Bryson and Lauren and I went shopping and bought him some "school clothes". I took Brayden and Lauren on Monday to find a few things for school so of course we had to go shopping with Bryson. Brayden was at golf lessons. After that we picked up Megan and had lunch at the Pizza Hut and then she brought us back to Erin's house and then she took her car. After Erin got off work we left to go meet Bill in Emporia at the rest area. It saved him about 50 miles from coming all the way to Topeka to get me. Lauren was so good and we got some great "grandma" time with all 3 of them. She will be celebrating her big "1" year old birthday inAugust..... hard to believe she will be 1 already. She has finally gotten 2 bottom teeth and the 2 top ones are poking through also. She is also just about ready to walk by herself....
While I was gone Bill took our laptop into the "hospital" he called it. It was getting slower and slower and when we had been typing anything it was not show the typing but we had wait for it to catch up. The guy took everything off, including 28 viruses, and reloaded some things back on it. We are going to get a bigger flash drive and put the pictures on it and see if that will help free up some space.
Our friends who live here have left for the Newmar International Rally in Goshen, Indiana..... we would have loved to go with them all but our working will not allow us to be off that long. Maybe next year.....
We are both doing great and begining to count down our time here in Wichita. 2 1/2 months and we will be done. Not sure what we plan to do for next year yet..... stay tuned! :)
So until next time!
Take care and keep in touch!
