We went to "Hosting in State Parks" at 9 - 10:30 by Ron & Brenda Speidel. We had been to seminars on hosting at the Life on Wheels conferences, so this was a refresher course for us. They discussed the different types of duties, hours required & situations that happen as campground hosts. They also covered the questions to ask before accepting a campground host position (duties, hours, etc).
Afterwards we decided to drive out to Grand Lake St Mary's State Park to check out the campground there. We took Tinker with us since he’s been staying in the RV by himself while we’ve been attending seminars. St. Mary’s State Park is a Passport America campground, so the rates are 1/2 price Sunday thru Wednesday. We drove around checking the size & how level the sites were in case we were back this way & wanted to stay there.
While we were out we stopped at the Celina post office & picked up our mail from General Delivery.
After lunch we attended another of Chris & Jim Guld's seminars today called "Managing Digital Photos with Picasa". Picasa is a photo management software from Google & we can create web albums with Picasa & Google. I downloaded Picasa tonight & look forward to working with it on organizing our photos better. We've tried other web photo albums & they were so limited in the size of albums that we weren't pleased with them. We'll be able to share our photos with family & friends through our blog & the web albums - instead of waiting until we can get together for a visit.
Tonight was the pizza dinner. We had Domino's pizza - they had cheese, sausage & pepperoni pizzas. There were 112 pizzas ordered & the delivery pickup had to make 2 trips since it couldn't hold all the pizzas. We all took our chairs & beverages & had a great time.
So I am “officially” starting our blog tonight, but I will be making entries that go back to when we started fulltiming & adding our photos to albums. Looks like we’re going to be very busy this winter!!
