The next day was a different thing.I went to the office doing my thing with the other ladies that of been here for three years or so hosting.Dan and Gorge who thought he was the boss….. of course he was the only one that thought that. So he and Dan did not hit it off right from the start.The guy was a ass.Then the hours they wanted us to work did not match what was on there work web site. and then the owners were getting a divorce he was going to run the cg from home in Pa. She is going to stay and run the cg.she had no clue what to do on the grounds them self.We had a talk with them about everything and told them we let them know in the am if we were staying or going.I already knew we were out of there…So we packed back up and headed for home ,got home about two set up camp Again and here we are….During the month of May we did yard work plenty to clean up after the ice storm this past winter.Did alot of planting and grooming.Dan got the John deere mower running and he also the push mower up and working .He oiled sharpen the blades painted it and put to work,been working just fine all summer..We started getting Kyle on Mons and Fri.He has grown so much and a normal four year old.He loves being outside and hanging with Grandpa….Grandpa is his buddy.I got my job back at Delays store.
