Papers, Papers and... Lunch?

This is our office building

Hey, it's Nicole again. We've been busy all morning folding papers, stuffing papers, and stacking papers! Papers, Papers, PAPERS!!! One of the ladies, Barb W, and I, tried to get a special folding machine to work. Guess what? It hated us! So everyone, Mom, Lauren, Morgan, Barb W, Wanda H, Jan F, and I all folded them by hand. There were over 1,000 papers to fold. About halfway through it, Morgan switched to stuffing stuff (hee hee) into the newsletters for Mom to pack. Jan F. took me on a tour around the 7 floor office.

The whole office is owned by CEM, and the radio station. But only floors 3 and 4 are used by them. The other 5 floors are rented out, and the rent money goes to take care of the building. Dad, Mark F, and some other guys all worked painting, building, and mopping up from the rain. They are trying to get the roof of the apartment and of the office building looking nice. So far, they have done a lot to get working.

Then after folding, stuffing and stacking, and folding, stuffing and stacking some more, we were called to lunch. That was a relief! The guys came inside to our neighbors apartment on the third floor. It's not too hot, but I'm sure its so much better than back at home. What's the temperature? 32 degrees? Ha-Ha!!! We're in 70 or 80 degree weather. The sun is shining in through the glassless windows. Ya, there is no glass or screen in the windows. Apparently, there are no bugs to get in and bite us. Instead there are millions of fans going all over.

Our bedroom has a fan, the living room and Mom and Dad's room. So there are at least 3 fans just in our apartment. We're all complaining about the heat, but we'll get used to it, and boy, then we'll freeze our behinds off when we get home.

Mom says we'll get to go to the beach one day, but not yet. I hope it's on a school day, so I can be laughing and anyone from my school will be stuck in school!
