6/3/07 (Sunday): I just returned from a short visit with my son,, Tom, and his family. I had a great time--even got to go back to school for a day (Anna's preschool). My grands are the greatest!

Just before I left for Ypsilanti, I had a troubling conversation with our boss. It seems he believed we'd signed up to be on call 7 days a week. I told him that we had requested to work part time. He thought that being on call and only performing tasks part of the time wasn't the same as working. I suggested a compromise where we'd be on call five days a week and off two. He accepted the compromise reluctantly, and I felt like we'd both be unhappy all summer, so I told him we'd leave if he'd rather, with no hard feelings. He said it was our choice, so I started looking for another place on Saturday. This morning I got a call from the KOA in Muskegon (about an hour south of here), and we accepted the job! We've given two weeks notice. I think we'll be even happier at the KOA than we were here in Frankfort. It's right on a lake and has lots of amenities we don't have here. We're sorry to leave and don't blame the owners. Their previous workampers have been happy to work like that.

So, it's a big change in some ways, but we think it was the best decision. We'll keep you posted.
