NEW ARRIVALS-SUMMER ARRIVAL-Day-3
Eli and Ami Jankowsky both got up early in the morning on that third summer morning in Glen Harbor tofind another hot clear and sunny summer day for working in the gardens
at their usual places.They also knew that waking up in sleeping bags out
in the open was just something they had to put up with until they got
enough saved up for their house construction to get started.They planned
on working hard in the gardens to earn enough for their improvements to
their lot so they could start a family and raise their children.They
would be planning on getting part-time jobs to keep themselves busy
before they were ready for the family life.
Eli and Ami both went to Garden House to get themselves ready for the coming day and to eat breakfast before starting to work on the gardens and harvesting to sell produce to
the grocery store as they usually did at the end of their working
day.Ami did have to get himself to Garden market to start working on
that garden and get that produce harvested and sold to the grocery
store.They both ended up eating cold bowls of cereal for breakfast
because that's what they could have from the community fridges and
they'd have to wait until they saved up enough to start building their
house and could use a fridge of their own to get food from.
Eli went right out to the garden behind behind Garden House and got to work on the smaller plants first and it
started getting a lot hotter as she was working on the garden and
getting the produce harvested from the fruit trees.She kept working hard
for hours and stuck with it until she got the smaller plants done and
could move onto the fruit trees and get them harvested.
She had spent hours working on the garden and Ami was also working on
the garden at Garden Market and getting his work done there.They were
both working very hard to get the gardening done on their designated
workplaces before having to quit for the evening because they really wanted to get enough saved up to be able
to afford their house and to still have savings left over after
spending on the house and the furniture they would need inside the house
to be able to live there.Ami was working on harvesting the fruit trees
by the afternoon and wanted to get that done as early in the afternoon
as he could.
Ami was almost done when he started to feel a bit ill and thought he
might have a touch of the flu.It meant they wouldn't be camping out on
their lot though they could still go check on it.
Eli finished her work in the garden and had to take care of having her shower and getting to their lot to clean
up the old newspapers before checking for the bills and paying them if
there were any to be paid.She started heading for Garden Market after
she was done to get her produce sold and to get the cash for the work
while Ami was also finished and used a washroom and showered before
eating dinner while Eli was also eating a bowl of soup for dinner.Ami
had to tell Eli about having the flu and she decided that they would
just stay there for the night instead of heading home and making Ami
worse.
This was going to remind them of the many cold nights where they'd had to mooch places to stay that were warm
and indoors in the old days before they left their old country.Things
didn't get much better in the new place because the trouble was
affecting all of Europe and it wasn't localized to one part of
Europe.They finally had lodgings and could usually eat though it wasn't
enough and the lodgings were very expensive and they were struggling to
just survive there so they decided to try getting onto a colony ship to
North America and they got lucky to have a chance though their ship got
caught in a hurricane and got shipwrecked.
Eli and Ami both selected a bunk bed to sleep in for the night and they
were grateful for the chance to sleep indoors for a few nights though
they were planning to buy a tent for their lot to use until their house
was built.They were in bed by 8PM.
