It's been a long week

It's been a long week with a few days with lots of bus loads of groups to take through the building.  And, then there was the man who showed up with a ghost detecting device.  He said he was just looking around the gift shop, but then I could hear this faint beep, beep, beep with the sound getting more rapid as he moved around the shop.  Then he explained that he had recently gotten this device that detects spirits.  In the one corner of the shop the device was going wild.  He was feeling excited; I was not too surprised.  I have had a number of experiences with spirits since working in Gettysburg.  I won't tell you all of them right now, but one that comes to mind are the couple of occasions when in the middle of the night I could hear cannon fire in the distance.  I knew I was fully awake, and it could not have been fireworks or re-enactors, especially since it was around 3AM I heard the sounds.  I had confirmation as to what I had heard in the morning.  I was talking with a fellow camper the next morning and when I mentioned what I had heard, he turned white and commented, "I heard it too; I thought I was imagining it all!"
Well, this week came to an end with four large groups of students at the end of the day, and, two of the groups showed up late.  I was supposed to leave at 5PM, but had to stay until after 5:30 to accommodate the groups.  We were worried they would be difficult to deal with because the man who booked the group had been difficult to deal with, but the students were fine and at least a fair share of these seniors were listening and were interested.  That is the best you can expect when it's late in the day and you are trying to impress teens, who would really rather be texting someone about the flavor of gum they are chewing.
To finish this long week, and day, nothing less than pizza and ice cream would do.  One of the best places in town to get ice cream is Mr. G's.  It is all homemade ice cream at a very reasonable price.  And, now they even have a reward card; buy 10 scoops and get a free one.  Tonight's flavors were mocho fudge and black raspberry.  Just to show you how good it is, or should I say was, see below:

Time to kick back and get my tired feet up.  Goodnight friends.
