We are frequently asked to describe a typical day here at Shiloh.  The thing is, there is no such thing as a "typical day".  Each day is different.  If you thrive on variety, you will absolutely love Shiloh!  

Take today for instance.  It actually began on Friday when someone made a reservation for two people to spend Monday (today) here at Shiloh.  They wanted to come in the morning, eat both the noon meal and the evening meal, and then they would leave.  So when Francis came in to work this morning, we sent him off to a nearby small market to buy a few items for the two meals.  But while he was gone we received a phone call, canceling everything.  Due to circumstances beyond their control, they could not come to Shiloh.  Lunch and dinner plans were quickly scrapped, and we moved on to Plan B.  Jim fixed our washing machine while I got busy cooking food to put in the freezer. Francis wasn't feeling well so we sent him to the doctor for some lab work.  Turns out he has malaria and typhoid, so he's off work for awhile.  Doris has been down with, guess what, malaria and typhoid since Saturday.  Maybe she will be strong enough to come to work tomorrow.  And Guy had the day off to take care of some personal business.

Four hours later a call came in asking if there was any possibility of three rooms being available this evening.  Nine people needed to stay at Shiloh until Wednesday evening, maybe even longer.   Now we were on Plan C.   One of the three available rooms had not been cleaned since the last guest moved out Saturday evening.  So Jim rolled up his sleeves and began cleaning the room.  Meanwhile I quickly finished my cooking marathon, got everything labeled and in the freezer, and was ready to welcome our new guests when they arrived at 9 p.m.

It's 11 p.m. now and this "typical day" has finally come to an end.  Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
