We almost had a full house last Friday as we were honored to host a lot of Rotarians who were in Rolla for their District Rotary Conference.  I was busy shampooing all the room carpets and spraying air freshners in all the rooms last Wednesday and Thursday. One never realises how bad the smoke from cigarettes can affect carpets until one shampoos and sees all that black dirt come out of the carpets.

I had to leave Vina in charge as I had to fly down to Panama City,Florida to participate in our ex-Zambian boys Golf Tournament. I had printed welcome letters to all my fellow Rotarian guests and apologised to them for not being able to meet them personally, and Vina told me when I returned on Monday that she had had no complaints from anyone except 1 guest ran out of Hot Water in his room- this apparently happened because all the guests were using the showers at the same time.She also said that the "Wild Turkey" hunters from Louisiana were extremely delighted with their 7 day stay here and all 5 of them tipped the Housekeeper with$5.00 each. They also left a thank you card.

Today I wanted to wash the Swimming Pool but rains put a stop to that. I will have to do that tomorrow and hopefully get the pool going within 2 weeks.
