The start of summer 2010

Sharon and I arrived three weeks ago…….Green Harbor Marina and Campground  After six month of traveling we’re looking forward to seeing family and friends…….

We spent the first days cleaning up the leaves and sticks from the winter storms we missed …..

Took a ride and got Sharon's car out of winter storage……She’ll start working at Wegmans a large grocery store chain in upstate NY .

I started working at the campground ….its run by Don and Barb Anderson ……..A nice couple originally from Penn. they have owned it for a few years and have brought it from near death to where it is today …..My first job was to drive a vintage international stake/dump truck ….101_3956 101_3957 

No power steering

No radio

A real mans truck

 

Its a lot of fun working with Don and he is going to teach me more stuff in the weeks to come ……..

Sharon is also working at the camp ……..she started painting the store this week ……0505101630a

She’s very good at painting and doesn’t mind the heights……

Green Harbor opened on the first of May and our camp friends started showing up ……                       

we all help each other when we can ……100_0529

The story goes that the school kids throw them in the tree at the end of each school year…….I found a pair of size 10s that suit me just fine …thanks kids!!!!! After all now that I’m retired, I’m on a fixed income …..

  5. Hi Paul & Sharon,

    Just a few lines to catch up. My computer hard drive died recently and is being fixed thank goodness but probably won't have it back until next week. So, haven't been keeping up with either blog, ours or yours. Spent 3 weeks in VA in April and that's when it died.

    We are in full swing of getting ready for our summer sojourn. Plan on leaving in early June. Will stop in VA for a visit with our grandson who just got back from his freshman year at Purdue. Then meeting up with our Michigan friends and heading west. Not sure we'll make it your direction but will let you know if we do. Sure enjoy your blog. Take care and keep in touch.

    Sandy & Jim
