Work Weekend, More Sleep? and TV's

 We went back to the campground Saturday to help with Work Weekend. The water was being shut off and several people pitched in to help, turning on and off the faucets at every campsite and letting the water drain. Then a compressor was used to blow out the water to be ready for winter. Ken helped close up one of the comfort stations and the two hamlets.

I helped in the clubhouse taking down the Halloween decorations. Lunch was served to those who worked. We enjoyed some really good sloppy joes, chips and fruit. Thanks to all those who prepared the meal. (I stayed away from the kitchen!)

After we finished helping we went back to our camp to re-pile the wood (see the previous post).

It was such a beautiful and warm day that I wished we could spend the rest of the weekend there. I would have enjoyed an evening fire, some visits with neighbors (who probably are still laughing after watching us move that wood pile again), and a hot dog over the fire. But we had no food there and we also had the Dish satelite man coming to our house Sunday morning to set up our t.v.

Ken and I were exhausted Saturday night (can't imagine why?) and we were glad this was the weekend we got an extra hour of sleep because we turned our clocks back. We went to bed early Saturday night, both needing a full night's sleep after some restless ones during the work week.

Much to my dismay, Ken awoke me around 1 a.m. to tell me, "We have to go back to the campground. We should go right now. We left the t.v. there and the Dish man is coming early tomorrow morning."

I told him that we needed and could get some more sleep before having to go out and get the t.v. He said he probably wouldn't be able to go back to sleep because he was so upset we forgot to bring the t.v. home. He said he would be thinking about it all night. I told him we were not going out at this time of night and we would get up early and be back in plenty of time before the Dish man got here. He fell back asleep within minutes but guess who was awake for a long time afterward? No, not Clayton. ME!!

The satellite is up, and I hear the t.v. working. All is well with the world.
