Day 18

Thursday, a "snaptastic" day and our 18th at camp.

We started out with singing and announcements. Before homesteaders left the circle, R50 checks signed by the Fed or to be signed by peeps who hadn't completed their house/fence/map were distributed. All but a few peeps earned the reward! Great progress.

During werk berzerk 1, Michelle led a community college course on wheel/axel arrangement for mini cars that could be used during land time. There were many attendees due to the high demand for faster travel time. Other homesteaders worked on their homes and businesses, as usual, until snack time.

After snack, everyone went swimming!! Those who chose to stay on shore played "don't even get me started" and "three things" with Josh, Evie, and Jasmine. In the first game, one person asks the other to tell them about a particular subject. The other person must begin a rant about that subject with "don't even get me started about [blank]," and continue until they run out of things to say! In the other game, one person asks the other to tell them three things about a subject. These things can be silly, as long as they are somewhat relatable and they amount to three!

After lunch there was another werk berzerk. We transitioned to land time with a pick-me-up/get yer wiggles out! activity in which contestants screamed while running across the lawn, and had to stop running when their initial breath ran out. It seemed to be effective in quieting the crowd, because only heavy breathing noises competed with homesteaders' announcements on their land time business.

Land time was entertaining, with games, pies and pancakes. Peeps are catching onto the trend of human food items selling better than peeps items of any kind, and there have been rumors of other tasty options in the mini to come. Land time also took longer than planned, as did the bezerk blocks, and the effect was a sizable chunk of game time being cut. After corvee had finished there was only time to walk to the cemetery and play a quick round of ninja before plus and wish.

Ninjas in the cemetery!

Day 22

It is day 22, Mini-Fair Eve, and also appraisal day. Homesteaders crafted up a storm preparing for these two events! Side one of last week's newspaper: a must read! Side two After singing and groupies, there was ONE LAST werk berzerk block to work on houses before appraisal time! The barn was real' busy with painters, sculptors, and hot-gluers. Some homesteaders also went to their lands to reinforce fencing and do other landscaping. Final touches Alex ??????'s finished land! Appraisals happened after snack! Groupies and their leading commissioners toured the town and stopped at each property to read its blurb and evaluate pricing. To achieve their appraisal amounts, homesteaders took the median of all of the price-tickets their homes received. We think this method is fair because tickets with R0 or R100,000 will just add more place markers to count the median off from, rather than skewing an average. The most va

Day 8

 Thursday, July 6, day 8... Our werk bezerk 1 was brightened up with a community college class on peep wallpaper making, hosted by a special guest. There will be more of these classes in the future, the next one being on hardwood floor installation as was voted for by homesteaders! Also note: the community college classes are examples of Fed sponsored activities, which are where the peeps' tax rainbows go. The 5% tax was established in time for the first payday, but due to the effect it has had on the Federal budget, it will be up to the peeps to choose between the classes and low taxes. Our special guest and her professor peep! Wallpapering a finished house! Those who did not attend the course continued working on their homes or jobs.  Help from Jasmine Cutting out windows!

Day 3

June 28th, Wednesday-- a busy day in T.S.T.W.R.S.A.E.C.C.C.T.T.S.K.W.B.A.O.T.B.I.A.G.C. Elated that the unpredictable weather permitted swimming!! After reviewing The Plan of the Day and singing songs, homesteaders headed to the acre to retrieve their peeps, who had spent the rainy night in yesterday's primitive shelters. The effectiveness of each shelter was made evident based on how soaked a peep was. "What's His Name?" lost his beard due to the dampness, but fortunately it was able to be fixed (long live the Mighty Jambi!). Damp peeps! During activity block 1, homesteaders worked on finishing their cardboard models, writing their lumber orders, and drawing their house plans onto said lumber. Peeps are very excited to have their houses built! Working hard on her lumber order! Finishing touches on the cardboard model! Cardboard model finished! Helping hands from a commissioner Listeners of the radio during
