Friday, 16 April 2010

Hello all...
 
The lack of postings to this blog aren't because I've lacked for anything to say.  Nope.  The lack of posting is because I've been busy.  The Welcome Center has been operating almost at capacity for the past 2 months or so capped off by a group of over 100 people last weekend for a church conference.  At this time there are only 2 guests so things have eased a bit which is good.
 
Things are going smoothly.  There's been much work done on the electrical system here and specifically with the lighting and wiring.  Yesterday, we had 4 new high intensity lights installed in our concesssion, with more coming today, that should really light up the whole area within the walls at night.  We plan on doing the same thing at the W.C. concession just as soon as the trenching for the cable is completed.
 
Hot season got off to kind of a slow start but it has really kicked in these last few days.  the lasat couple of days it was over 110 in the shade on our front porch.  I think the same thing will happen today.  Humidity has been a factor too.  And, to top it off, yesterday the generator failed to start.  After several hours of diagnosing the problem (exactly) the mechanic determined we have a bad alternator.  We were able to get the generator running by 6 PM but it will have to be fixed properly today.  The electrician will be here later to do just that... I hope.
 
Janice and I are going to town today.  This is something we try to do every Friday.  In the States, we "dated" by going to Costco and grabbing a bite to eat afterwards.  Here, we go to town, hit many stores, the post office, the bank, and then eat some lunch.  Normally leave around 9 AM and get home by 2 PM or so.  Sometimes we take a few kiddos with us.  Today, we're flying solo, so to speak.  So, it'll be fun to spend some alone time with Janice.
 
Gotta run.
