Shack looking like a shack.....

Significant progress on the shack within the last few days. The guys are doing a great job on building this shack. Rob has fun with them during the day-dancing, building playlists for them on their phones, and learning new Spanish words. Rob likes to throw around the words at home. I told him, yeah, I can count to ten in Spanish too! So all the wall studs are built, the roof should go on today, along with the remaining walls. The door will get hinged and the two windows should also go on today. Amazing that they are working on Christmas Eve! The shack should be complete by the end of the day today, as far as building status. Can't wait to put my individual touches on the shack-paint, decorating, organizing....that's what I'm good at!

We plan to have a "soft" opening on Thursday. If all we are able to serve is beer out of a cooler, then we will do it! We will have to wait for electricity and water next week and then we will be in full operation. Our plan is to have a big opening New Year's Day. Hopefully there will be lots of people that want to spend the day at the pool. Hard to believe it is Christmas Eve. This is the first Christmas both Rob and I have spent away from family and living in 75 degree weather. It is quite a change, but we are adjusting well. Not a day goes by that we do not think of our loved ones back home. I'm thinking I should have started video chat a long time ago...what a cool way to communicate. Water aerobics starts again this morning at 10am. Eileen runs the class at San Pedro Fitness Club. Rob just happened to "sign me up" for yesterday's class. And it wasn't so bad! Friendly people and a great way to get others to know about The Snack Shack. Classes are held every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 10am. Eileen knows her stuff and is very focused-I looked over at the shack yesterday at one point and she said "focus....Rob has it under control." Alright Eileen, I like your style!!! And Janice is bringing her homemade Christmas cookies today...so I will be back! (sorry if I have misspelled names...don't have the spellings yet) So a full day for us Burrows' here in San Pedro. May try to throw in some football watching too at some point. If not...go Chiefs! Hope everyone has a very happy holiday.
