Back at it again

We are back at it again.  Yipee!

  We are parked in the RV campground,  just off Hwy 89 a few miles west of South Lake Tahoe, California.  We are in the same campground, in fact, the same campsite as last year.  It seems a good fit for us, nice a flat, close to the volunteer rec building with the bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen which is good.
   We arrived last Saturday and spent most of the day setting up and unpacking.  We have not been "out" since we came home from Malheur last year so things were everywhere.  (There's a big difference from having the rig in the driveway to actually living in it full time.)  Because we were also selling our house and moving everything to storage, there were many food items that were loaded into the trailer at the end with the idea of sorting it when we arrived here.  R did that yesterday and many items ended up in the trash or combined into another container.

   Life at Tallac Historic Site is great!  Last Monday was our first day.  It was like a family reunion.  Lots of hugs, lots of smiles, lots and lots of laughter!   There were one couple DG and LG joining the crew for the first time.  They were welcomed with open arms and hugs to boot.  After 15 -20  minutes of catching up conversations we sat down in front of a blazing fire in the main room of the Baldwin House.  JD our superviser, did a valiant job trying to keep us all on track and told us what we needed to know and got us going on our tasks to get the place open for Memorial Day.  We scattered to our posts still chattering and munching pieces of donuts on our way.

   The week was very busy with much work to do.  But as the saying goes, "Many hands make light work" much was accomplished.  One by one, the buildings were opened, cleaned, and made ready for visits by our guests.  By Thursday, the majority of the buildings were ready for the opening day which is next Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend.  It will be fun to see the folks enjoying the place.
