Yesterday was a good day at Logan Valley but it came with some bad news. Kelsey's sister-in-law was killed in a motorcycle accident. That is all we know at this time.
Our day started with meeting Dave & Sue, the couple who manage Logan Valley Christian Retreat, they were in Chicago for the weekend when we arrived and didn't get back until very late Sunday night. I think we are going to enjoy working with them.
We caught them a little by surprise. They didn't think we were going to arrive until late yesterday or even early this morning. I had emailed Dave about the change in plans, and left them a phone message, but they weren't home to receive either.
Ever vacuum a gym? Our first task was to vacuum the auditorium or multi-purpose facility. It isn't quite large enough to hold two full size basketball courts. It took us nearly two hours to vacuum it and a couple of adjoining rooms.
We then moved our RV to it's "permanent" location and got everything hooked up. Not a big move. We had to move the camp's dump trailer to make more room and then basically turned the RV 90 degrees from where we had been.
We had lunch with Dave & Sue; David, Kathy and their two boys (permanent staff); and some guys who were here from St. Louis to look the camp over for a potential church retreat.
After lunch we swept the dining hall & kitchen (actually this was one of the dining halls, the larger one, it seats around 130). Then while Kathy vacuumed the chapel I beat rugs. You absolutely can't believe how much dirt one of those heavy, rubber-backed entry rugs can hold. I finally got the vacuum Kathy had used in the chapel and attacked them with that. The amount of dirt I got out of them was just amazing, and they really had not looked all that dirty.
When we finished that we tracked Sue down, she was cleaning elsewhere, and asked what we could do next. While she was thinking we suggested mopping the dining room and kitchen, the one we had swept. That finished our work day, and us <grin>.
I have a dental appointment today to see what they propose for my broken tooth. Hopefully there is enough left for a crown. The good news is that it doesn't hurt at all.
Time to get at it. May God bless you and yours this day.
