Interview day!

Today was THE day, the reason we came out here. Keith had his interview this afternoon. It was a nice drive to Margaretville. Got to the business and he went in to talk, while I decided to walk around the town. I checked out the library and talked to the lady in there. She gave me some good info on the area. The boys wanted to know about the library, so I was glad I found it. It's very small. I think we have more kids book than the library did. I didn't expect much though. After that I headed down main street. Walked up and down it stopping into a few stores that caught my eye. There was a countrish type store. Lots of moose and bear items. I behaved and walked out empty handed! The town has a 99cent (and more) store. What an interesting store! Had so much stuff it was packed and lots of junky things. Every little gadget and junk you could never need. Fun to wander through though. I found the local skate park...nothing to write home about. I think they might need a tetnus shot before anyone skates there! There is a little creek running through town and a cool bridge with lots of ducks. The town has a CVS and A&P grocery store. Lots of little stores, cute to visit.

Keith was to call me after his interview to find out where to pick me up. One small problem...not much cell service! I was able to hear him say meet for lunch and then it went dead! He did send a text telling me where they were meeting. So I was able to walk to the restuarant and met with Keith and the 2 main guys from the company. Had a nice little lunch and then headed home. Stopped at a really neat covered bridge on the way home.


Not sure about the job. They still have not given us a salary! They have not officially offered Keith the job either. The guys are supposed to talk to Keith on Monday and hopefully we will have all our answers by then. I (and Keith too) was hoping we would know a yes or no on the job by this afternoon. But nope, have to wait even more.


While we were in Margaretville, Grandma and the boys went mini golfing! They also played in the sprinkler and scootered outside. Ran her ragged!


After we got home, they were getting ready to go to Walmart, so they left. Keith went on a bike ride. Wanted to ride up a steep road that is nearby. I was left home alone to relax! Loved that!!


Later tonight we all went back to the mini golfing place. It's a nice place, but tricky at spots! It's got a cave and a covered bridge. A lake with bull frogs, although you don't have to hit over the lake. It's got a nice waterfall scene too. Came home to Carvel ice cream cake and coffee! Oh we stopped and picked up some Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! Or maybe a late night snack, lol! They didn't have a big selection, no strawberry frosted or peanut covered. We'll have to check tomorrow earlier to get some better ones!


Going to finish watching the recording of the Tour and hit the hay! Tomorrow we're going on the Arkville train ride. Should be fun!!
