Day of Rest -- Well, sort of...

I slept in this morning until 7 AM! (We usually have breakfast at 7...), It felt good, but I would have loved to stay in bed even longer...


Four of our long-termers left yesterday. Crew Leaders Dennis and Sue finished up their two months yesterday and headed out after the house dedication for a few days of vacation and then home to Canada. Our cooks had a brother-in-law pass away yesterday, so they headed back to Canada this morning as well. The staff at headquarters is looking for replacements for the cooks, but it may be a day or two. Our camp hostess Phyllis has been helping the cooks with lunch fixings for crew bag lunches, so she'll be taking the lead until new cooks arrive -- with lots of help from everyone else, I hope.


We went to the airport this morning to pick up a young new long-termer. Joel flew in from the Toronto, Ontario area. He'll be with us for a month. We needed more tile for the bathroom at House #2, so made a stop at Home Depot, then Barnes and Noble to pick up a bird book for our newest clients.


We got back to camp in time for me to try to take a nap and actually get some reading done. By 5:45 everyone had returned from their various day trips. We loaded up the van and headed into the nearby village of Jamul for antipasto salad and pizza at Filippi's. Tammy (daughter of House #1's owners) had sent me a YELP about how good the pizza was there and she sure know what she was talking about. The large pizzas were huge -- more like giant or jumbo ones at home. We brought enough home for supper tomorrow night.
