After being here for ten days I think I am falling into some sort of a routine, mostly work. I've explored the town, which took no time at all, it's pretty small and I've found a bike route that I like along the shore road. It's so pretty and full of little cottages and houses. Some of them I can tell are retirement homes, those are the ones with the cute flower beds and manicured lawns. I have also decided I love being this close to water, at least when the weather is nice and the sky is clear! I have taken some picture but I want to take a few more before I post any of them. The ones I have are of the water and the Mackinac Bridge. Just to clear something up real quick, I chose the Mackinaw spelling because I'm staying on the mainland in Mackinaw City. Mackinac spelled with an ac refers to the Island, Bridge and Parks.
I finally went grocery shopping today to fill up my little fridge so I can eat more that just PB and J for every meal. I also rented a P.O. Box, so if you are interested in having my mailing address while I am up here let me know and I will send it to you! I've also started knitting again while I'm up here so I'm having my mom send my yarn. So if you want me to knit you a scarf, let me know! All of us girls up here have projects going in some realm of the arts and crafts/sewing realm. It's very close to finishing school except it's more like camping instead of staying in a grand old place with etiquette rules. All the girls are really nice though and helpful. There is usually something going on in the evenings either a trip into Cheboygan or a movie. And of course I have FRIENDS, I had to bring them with me and start from the beginning again.
Work is going, I'm getting into a habit with it and I'm starting to become comfortable with the information. That's a good thing because prior to this job I knew nothing about Lighthouses and had never even been to one. Now I know all about Old Mackinac Point. Which is good because people come in and expect me to tell them all about it and how it worked. Right now we are at the end of school/bus tour season, so we have a lot of small kids and older adults. The kids actually aren't too bad and the adults are pretty fun too, they are usually just as excited about climbing the tower as the kids. We have early starts for the next two days to accommodate bigger groups and the end of the school year. They are going to be some longs days and then it's Memorial Day weekend, which I hear is a pretty big weekend up here. Well this seems like a good place to stop for now. I think that covers everything.
Goodnight for now everyone...
