It has been a little different week for us at the Steenblik household. Normally Tony would work Monday through Thursday, leaving us Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to enjoy being together as a family. But this week and for now on Tony will have Mondays off and work Tuesday through Saturday. Also Tony now doesn't get home until about 5:00 pm. This will take some getting used to for me as I have been so lucky to have him home generally around 2:30 everyday. Now I feel like a "real" house wife who has to have dinner cooking when her husband gets home. I am sure that sounds silly, but it's true.
Tony says that he has really liked it so far. It is really different from what he was doing at the Dairy and he really likes that. He gets to work with volunteers and missionaries all day. The machines at the Cannery aren't hard to learn and Tony is feeling confident that he will master them quickly. Tony is very mechanically minded, so he is really good at learning machines quickly. He is definitely the young kid there. The other guys are all a good 15 years plus older then Tony. But he doesn't mind. He likes who he works with and really likes his boss. Since he drives there so early it only takes him about 45 minutes to get there in the morning and about 55 in the evening. We still aren't sure if we will stay or move. We will see how Tony is feeling about the drive in a couple months. Me and the boys plan to visit him on Wednesday. That should be fun to check out his new digs. So for the first week, not too shabby. This seems to have been a really good move for him and I am excited about the possibilities it will bring.

That is great about Tony's new job - hooray for your him and your family! Do they interact much with people from other canneries? My uncle is (I think) over the Lindon cannery, or just very involved over there, I can't remember.
