Back at Sand Creek!

We returned to Sand Creek this weekend with staff orientation.  And of course, I have two fun stories to share with you - okay, make it three!

STORY ONE

Happened on Friday.  I can not make this up!  Every single person who came to Sand Creek was of Indian descent - as in from or related to someone from the country of India!  Our first group of a dozen high ropers were an all male bunch of spring breakers from Wayzata High School.  I know a total of ONE person who attends Wayzata and you know what?  My men knew him!  Is the world small or what?  Our second group was also from India - two newlywed couples who's marriages were arranged by their parents.  We had quite the conversation and it was good!

STORY TWO

Took place when we all arrived at work yesterday morning!  We were so excited - highs were going to be in the seventies and we were trying to "one up" each other!  

"I have my shorts in the car!"

"I have my shorts on!"

"I have ankle socks on!"

"Me, too!"

"I'm wearing a tank top!"

"I can rip my sleeves out and make my shirt into a tank top!"

Sadly, the wind was blowing, it was cloudy and it was cold!  So cold we started to grab extra coats to wear.  It wasn't until after four o'clock that it even started to feel warm.  So much for the seventies!

STORY THREE

I got to tour yesterday (I sent the group off to the first platform and then zipped down to the second platform where I sent them off again and then zipped to the third platform and so on . . . awesome!) with a bridal party from Vermillion, South Dakota.  They had come up to zip, eat dinner at Hell's Kitchen and attend the Casting Crowns Concert - a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a teacher, a nurse and a communications specialist.  You know what I told them - "Have I got a ship for you!  And you have the occupations for a ship!"  To God be the glory!  

Coming up next?  Jordan High School Boys Track Team on Wednesday!
