We’re still here

We are still here in Campbellsville, working, working and working.  We switched to outbound in hopes of getting overtime, but it seems now that the inbound department is busiest and we are back on the receiving line.  Which is okay by us, because we really weren’t happy in the packing department.  Full time staff in inbound, just went to 60 hrs. but for us workampers its voluntary.  I am working 50 hrs., Ed has been going in on Tuesdays just for 5 hr. so he is working 55 hr.  Which is okay by us, because we really weren’t happy in the packing department. 

We had a problem with our refrigerator about 2 weeks ago.  The cooling unit went out and it was an expensive fix, so we are going to try to stay an extra couple of weeks here to help offset the cost. 
The weather here has been warmer than last year, but we have had a lot of rain.  We just got through 3 nights a really cold ( 20’s) weather but the forecast for the next 10 day looks promising with no below freezing nights and highs in the 50’s.  Let’s hope we are not making a mistake in trying to stay.  Really don’t want to have to drive out in snow!!

Check out this video.  Most of the video was shot at the campground where we are.  Notice the snow showers.  This was done the weekend after Thanksgiving and yes we had some snow showers but nothing stuck.  Campbellsville is really a very nice small town.

Until later…..

  2. We have had minimal snow so far this year. Keeping my fingers crossed that continues for us and for you.
