Let The Work Begin

Serve breakfast at 6:30, bus the dishes. Wash the tables then put the dishes back. Sweep up.  Clean 5 bathrooms, wash some windows, empty a bunch of trash cans. Vacuum a hallway. Nap, Nap, Nap

Help grandpa carry in the large quantity of food from the trusty Subaru. Then start wrapping the sandwiches. Drink a Mountain Dew. Cut up a ton of lettuce, fill up a bunch of pitchers with milk.
Maybe crack a hundred eggs for tomorrow. Carry enough food for 65 hungry people through the lobby and into the luxurious dining room/mtg room/work room. Pack it all back. Clean up while eating ice cream.

Passing The Torch

We all did it when we were young. We cleaned the Lodge. Every summer. We fed those damn geology students and cleaned up after them for fifty years straight. Thousands upon thousands of sandwiches. A million bathrooms, years of our lives spent vacuuming. Dishes, when stacked, would reach the moon. Mops and brooms so old and worn that they disintegrated in our little hands. Those were great times!
Now I have passed the tradition on to my own daughter. Except she gets the privilege that I was never offered. She gets to LIVE in the attic! She gets to spend the night in the strangely built, peculiar smelling, dingy and sweltering 4th floor of the Chateau. Alone.

This is the haunted hallway she must walk down in order to get to the toilet..far far away

This is the newly non-updated bathroom with a sink which no longer has the ability to provide water

And this is the little room to which Hailey calls home sweet home
