Memoirs Of Friendship - Chapter 14

The girls stayed for the night at the Wallberg's and used the jacuzzi at the patio. They wore the bathing suits they bought from the VS. For them the swimming suits fit them well. They also like the La Senza brand. As usual Joan thought the words have special meaning.

The next morning, Janice asked the girls to go with them at his Dad's office at the base. Col. Wallberg was surprised of their sudden visit.

Mr. Wallberg: Goodness! Don't you know how to phone Janice?
Janice: Dad, I first thought our visit here would bring a smile on your face. Besides, we're curious to see what's happening at your new office.

Col. Wallberg's eyes rolled in disbelief but still showed friendly facial expression because the girls were there with her daughter. He told the girls to sit down for a while and then left them. When he came back he had another military officer with him. It was their CO and Col. Wallberg introduced his daughter, Joan, Jenny, and Jeaneth to their Commanding Officer. While they were walking around the camp ground there was a platoon of soldiers in a military formation. Those who were caught by their platoon leader not paying attention are then punished with 40 push ups.

The ladies giggled, they thought it was funny. Janice told them to stop their girly behavior and act maturedly.

Col. Wallberg: That's what am saying...
Janice: What do you mean Dad? (The four girls looked at each other)
Col. Wallberg: Sometimes, women can be the cause of destruction.

Jenny butted in and said, "It's not true sir." "You are wrong! Absolutely!"
Col. Wallberg can only shake his head and mumbled, "I hope I'm wrong."

Janice quickly cut the conversation and said, "Okay Dad see 'ya later. My friends would like to have lunch soon and Jenny needs to go home early to catch up with her work tonight."

Col Wallberg: Oh you're a working student? Where you work?
Jenny: Yes sir. I work part time at QF.

Fifteen - Extensive Plan

Beaming with pride and grandeur the sun is back in the clear blue sky. It must be a good omen. Sunny and warm. Early spring?

Since all the management and crews would like to go for this once in a lifetime all expense paid holiday we're all set up and ready to go.

But wait, hold on......
Realizing we'll be away for one week I scheduled that the tavern building needs extra cleaning outside. Pressure washing is what it needs. Exterior pressure washing of walls and roof. Landscaping, gardening, spring cleaning, and exterior wall painting.

The tavern's exterior paint has deteriorated from wear and tear and needs new paint. Olga hasn't apply any paint on its wall since its been built. I went to the paint store to choose the color of paint. Too many colors to choose from. I was eyeing on dozen colors then have them down to 3 colors. One darker, medium light, lighter shades. Finally after 20 minutes of being fickle minded I asked the store clerk what I want and paid the gallons of paint and then brought them home.

The next schedule was to phone the house painter who happened to have expertise in pressure washing houses and buildings. Since he is also reliable and has credibility in other work such as yard maintenance I decided that he and his workers will also get the contract for the yard work and other spring cleaning outside the house.

Within that time period we hope to see there will be enough changes to see and admire within the perimeters of the tavern establishment.

Then off we go to our destination not by airplane but by two winnebagos and a 4x4.
