Grill those veggies, Lana! I'll be right over. :D Put on your favorite music as loud as you can and sing along. Dance, jig, or chair bop along. Color or paint. Know your limits and if you need a nap, take one---or twelve. I should probably get some veggies to grill too. Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs tonight. I didn't…

Good morning, Cabana Crew, Sara - ditto from me. The right job makes all the difference. Hoping Missy and Lynn are recovering well. Why can't we have Happy Hour beginning today and run it all the way through Monday night? Call it Wacky Weekend instead of Happy Hour. It is a holiday (for those of us in the U.S., anyway).…

Tuesday, August 31st Good morning, Cabana Crew!! Rally is over. I'm exhausted. We had a good time. That is all. Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

Monday, August 23. I survived the Golf tournament. Now moving on to prep Rally Day. I could have worked on it yesterday, but I was lazy. Hope everyone has a great week! Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy in Tennessee

Quick drop by. Doctor's office called with my results from last week. Referring me to a rheumatologist. My ANA Titers were really, really high. Maybe I can get some answers and an oil can for the Tin Woman's joints. I promise this is a good thing. Validation that I am not a hypochondriac. Tracy in Tennessee

Waving "hi" on a happy Monday! Busy season for the Lodge (and me) begins. Do the best you can in your situation! Tracy in Tennessee

Happy Monday! New position has me very busy. Moose has me very busy. Finally settling into a new routine. My trainer will be leaving the company permanently on Friday. I'm pretty sure I can handle the job. Something unexpected will come along, I'm sure. My boss is chill and will help me through anything he can. It has been…

Thank you! I was so tired after work yesterday that I ran a low grade fever and went to bed at six pm. Best life hack ever: use chopsticks to eat your Cheetos. No orange fingers! I'll bring another bag and a case of Sunkist soda. Let's have an orange party to brighten things up. Do the best you can in your situation. Tracy…

Happy Monday, Cabana Crew! Whew! Glad it's Monday. Weekend had me doing more work for no money than I do for money. Lodge Shrimp Boil and Corn Hole Tournament went well. Lots of work, super hot outside (about 112 F), but it was fun. About 14 hours at the Lodge for me. Yesterday, we had a wake for one of our members who…

Good morning, Cabana Crew and Happy Monday! The show went well. We had one mishap with the prop gun- - - yesterday it would not fire. The actors handled it beautifully and the audience found it hilarious! The two boys I had doing their community service impressed everyone with their helpfulness and respectfulness. Glad I…

Good morning! Sara - I am backstage. Handling props, scene changes, operating a mechanism, costuming for the lead. My acting days are long over -- if I have to memorize. Spoiler alert: I may be cast in "It's a Wonderful Life" since it is being done as a "radio show" this year. We will be onstage in front of the audience,…

Good morning, Cabana Crew, Welcome to you, @AutumnMuse13 ! This week, I've only had time for a quick peek here. It is production week. I came in at the last minute to complete a set and stagehand for a community play. (Jealous, @LanaCabana537 ;) ) I started Monday and first performance for an audience is tonight. No, Lana,…

Good morning, Cabana Crew, Easing into my new position. Was in the plant every day last week and probably will be for a while until I get the rhythm down and know which days can be done from home. Quite honestly, though, morale improves if someone sits at the front desk. Will keep you posted, but so far, so good! Tracy in…

You got this, Lana!

B) :D :) Got it! Will start training next week with the former assistant. She will set the training schedule because she is working 2 jobs. Thanks for all the good vibes! I felt them. Tracy in Tennessee

Good morning, all! Lynn, hope your pain is decreasing each day. Sara, it's always tough when the training and backup for newbies is not there. Happens a lot. Still recovering from Convention Exhaustion. Pretty sure that will take a while. However, the weather in Cincinnati could not have been better for us. I don't think…

Hello from Cincinnati! Yesterday was a loooooooooooong day. Left home at 2 am central time and arrived in Cincy 11:30 eastern time. For those of you keeping score, that's eight and a half hours to make a six hour drive. We've done worse time. Meetings were good. Except the other 6 people from my Lodge didn't come to the…

Good afternoon, all! @LanaCabana537 -- Enjoy your trip! Don't be nervous about it. I used to hate traveling because I only thought about the things that could go wrong. Now, I tell myself "it's an adventure" every time I take a wrong turn or things don't go according to "plan". We leave for Cincy Thursday. I think I am…

Hello all! My interview will be Tuesday afternoon most likely. Could start as early as the next Tuesday. Thank you for all ages f the good vibes. I need all the help I can get. Tracy in Tennessee

Good morning, Cabana Crew! My Cincinnati trip is July 1-4. We leave home at 2 am Thursday and should be home Sunday evening. I got some news yesterday. My boss called and said the Executive Assistant to the COO has resigned. They would like me to take the job. . . Maybe. I still have to interview for it, but the COO wanted…

Thank you for the Rainbow, Lana! So cheery!! My ham sliders went over very well last night. I brought home a dozen. That's lunch sorted for today. Tonight, I will go decorate for a birthday party. We are throwing a surprise party for our Lodge bartender and I won't be available tomorrow. A few of us will be decorating…

Good morning, Cabana Crew! @LanaCabana537 - Enjoy your voyage on the Good Ship Lollipop! Hope you enjoy seeing your family and breaking routine for a little while. Oh, my, ceiling, cat! I am so tired! I took TIPS training after work last night. Started training at 5 and finished at 9:20. Certification is necessary to be a…

Sheer meanness keeps me going according to my mother. :) Thank you for the Cabana Boys! They are taking really good care of me. Tracy in Tennessee

Love the rainbow greeting, Lana! I'm struggling with life right now. I slept almost all day Saturday. I have not been feeling well for a while, may have been running a fever. Felt better yesterday, not great, but tolerable. We had a Lodge Leadership training class in Brownsville, TN (about a 45 minute drive). This training…

So sorry your day did not go as planned, Lana. At least you did get to spend time with your sister. Perhaps you will look back and laugh about the "comedy of errors" the day became. "Murphy" or as we call it in my family "Wiley Law" has conspired to keep me away from my brother since Christmas. He has been home twice for…

Good morning! No major plans this week. That's nice for a change. Having a leisurely sushi lunch with my Moose sisters in a couple of hours and we have a meeting Thursday night to plan our golf tournament for August. Three day weekend coming up and I am looking forward to it! Tracy in Tennessee

Good morning! Thanks for the rainbow colors to start our Monday, Lana! Rainbows make me happy. We have Roku and subscribe to YouTube TV for live television. The built-in recording feature is great. We are usually so busy, we can't watch first-run shows. We catch up on Sunday afternoons. I survived the fajita dinner at the…

I have a couple of suggestions: 1) Fiorucci Panino--they have several varieties: Proscuitto/mozzarella, Salami/Jack cheese, hard salami/spicy cheese, pepperoni/mozzarella. Sold in a 2-pack, 6-pack, or large variety pack. The 2-packs are super convenient to grab and go. 2) Prep egg muffins one day a week. Choose whatever…

Good morning, Lana, A little tip--Lay your ham slices out on paper towels and dry them well before trying to spread the cream cheese. If you buy the really good deli ham (like sliced in front of you) instead of packaged ham (Great Value Brand Black Forest 2 lb pack is what I buy for the Lodge), you can probably skip this…

Good morning, Lans! We did have fun. Not much of a crowd--about 20 people. We were the only ones who dressed up. However, we had a lot of food, played our games, and enjoyed each other's company. I use dill pickle spears. They seem to compliment the cream cheese. Yesterday, the seasonings for the filling were garlic…
