Thursday evening

Good evening!

We are having some pretty chilly weather.... well, downright cold!!! The front moved through a day ago and has decided to stay I guess! Lows have been in the 40's until last night.... about 28 here!

We haven't done much since I wrote last week but work, eat and try to sleep! We did work our 55hr.week this past weekend and week so we are really tired..... we stayed busy Wed. so we could sleep last night and it worked...I don't think Bill or I moved all night.....so we know we are tired.....sometimes around 3:30-4 AM ....we just hit a "wall" and can't focus too much past that time!

We have about 10-11 days left depending on our overtime schedule...... yahoooo!!!! we are both so ready to finish this job and take it easy! We are working on Tuesday night instead of some that are working on Wed. or Thursday night and having a break between those days..we would rather work straight through and have a couple of days off together. Some of the workkampers we have worked various nights with have left for various reasons or another....so our numbers of people are getting smaller. We wish them well and safe travels! We have made some good friends and hope to see them on the road again someday! We have been told by others that sometimes in the last week Amazon will call and say we are finished and not needed back! Pray for that phone call to come quick! haha!!!!

Yesterday after we were up for a little bit we received a phone call from some friends that we worked with in Estes Park, Howard and Karen. They were on their way to their daughter's house in Olathe... we had a nice visit with them and look forward to spending more time with them in the Valley in January!

I fixed vegetable soup last night for dinner and Dennie and Karen came over to help us eat that huge pot I made! It was good and just right for the cold night!

Bill and I went to Joplin, MO. today for the day.... boy, do they have lots and lots of shopping there.... and all kinds of restaurants! We ate lunch at Cheddars..... we ate at Cheddars alot in Wichita and never did get a bad meal there..... just an all round good restaurant. Bill got some more insulation for the water hoses.... we didn't wake to frozen pipes anyway!


Well, that is about it for this time.....
Until next time!
