Some fellow workcampers are beginning to move in and we are making new friends. It seems like campers are such nice people......whether rich or poor we are sort of all on an equal playing field when we are camping! We are getting a lot of pointers from them.
We started our jobs this week and worked hard since we are getting the building ready for the season and it has been closed up since the end of last season. As I said in an earlier post, we are required to work 25 hours a week, 12.5 hours each. We are responsible for cleaning and keeping up the building housing the large laundromat and showers. We are really making things look nice. I have some pictures for you below. Right outside the door is a grove of grapefruit trees that are just LOADED with grapefruit and they are ripening now. We can take as many as we can eat. They aren't as big and juicy as they would have been if there wasn't a drought. But they are still good. The Rio Grande Valley is a huge source of citrus. I am going to love that!
I am also attaching a picture that I took of my TV showing Tom in the Workshop. There are live camera feeds from all of the activity rooms here and you can check any room at any time. Tom had gone to cut some wood for shelves and he was taking a little longer than it should take. I thought I would check to see if he was working or yakking..and lo and behold, he was yakking! Actually it is good to see him make some new friends....the man he was talking to also worked in a power plant for many years......I am sure he is going to have a good five months here.
Hope to check in with you again in a few days!
