Since my last post we have been staying on our site while actively participating in the social life of the park while also doing the things required by the volunteer positions we have taken on.
A day in the life is a high example of total involvement. It was a Wednesday so I got up to go to the JCATS 8 AM meeting to have coffee and learn if someone needed a tech fix. After the meeting 3 of us met in phone room to install two VDSL DSLAMS to replace one old ADSL DSLAM. Just ignore the acronyms, the translations may also be meaningless – we installed 2 smaller faster boxes to replace one older slower box. I had to leave to join a zoom from George Eastman Museum that I had signed up for. As that came to an end I got a call to take a couple on a tour of the park. Carol had the cart so I walked down to Ranch House to meet them and begin a tour that was to last 2 hours. I walked back up the hill by 3 just in time to join an impromptu Bridge game in the Card Room. By the time Carol came back from town and I walked back to the coach I was tired.
That may have been at the extreme end of daily activity, but it certainly is not uncommon for me to find myself participating in two or more activities in a day. All the while Carol is leading an equally busy schedule. The weather is chilly, even here it is winter, and late afternoon gatherings on the patio even with windscreens and heaters are not pleasant, so we gather with one or two couples in someone’s coach. Life here has a rhythm and it is easy to adopt it and go with the flow.
