Yard cutting day

No I don't do the yard here where we work but we still have our lake cabin. It is a shame that grass grows when you are away from home! I love grass but it only needs to get green and grow when I am there to enjoy it. 
We are now having to work 3 days a week due to one couple moving on. The couple that was here when we got here works 4 days and we work the other. Not too bad but not what we were offered in the beginning. The owner here is trying to get another couple to work. That will put us back on the 2 day track.
The weather here is beginning to warm up some. We had one morning that we could sit outside and drink our coffee. We look forward to doing that. In Colorado it is too cool to sit out in the morning so we like being where we can.
I have a barn sale coming up next weekend. We have sooo much stuff we no longer use. It is time to part with some of these things and lighten the load. I put the up coming event on my Facebook garage sale with hopes that we will have a good turn out...

Time gets by

I turned around and it had been some time since my last post! I should be ashamed of myself leaving big gaps in my life journal. What will people think when someday they feel compelled to read all about me and there is time missing from this great adventure?
I really think they will get over it. The older I get the less I do to keep and audience captivated. 
We have been rather busy with family reunions and now that we are Camp Host we tend to keep on the move more. It has been a real experience working the other side of the desk. We have a lot of things to do each day when we are on duty. It is not hard work by any means but we are challenged each and every day we work. We only work two days a week...I know that is not much...but it is more than we have worked in some time. Just getting up in the morning and having to be at work at 9:00 am is tough on retired people.
I had promised myself when I took this job on that I would walk more and try to lose some weight but the golf cart is so nice to move about in. No excuse for not getting trim but it does make it hard to walk when you have comfortable transportation right there to use!
Well I have rambled on long enough. We have one more month here and then we will be moving on. Not sure if we will repeat this job next year but it is always an option...

Cold

The title says it all. Yes it got down in the lower 30's last night. I could feel it when I got up during the night to check on Kris. He was wrapped up like a burrito in his covers...so I knew he was doing fine.
I had to get me another blanket to get warm. No I did not turn the gas heat on...why...who knows I just put another blanket on and went back to sleep. 
When it was time to get up I wished I had turned the heat up. Now I have to get up in the cold. Sherri got up wanting to know why I didn't turn the heat on. Gee now everyone is wondering. 
So here I sit with my coffee warming up...with the heat going...by the way. Next week we head out for Louisiana. We will be gone from here for a week and then we will return and stay until June 3 when we will start our pilgrimage to Colorado. 
The time here so far has been OK. We really don't have a hard job here. I guess the only hard thing about it is having to get up and be in the office a 9:00 am. We have gone so many years without a time schedule. But for the most part we are fine with it...

Winter is back!

We got up this morning and the temps outside are in the lower 40's. Can you believe this. We have the heat on to stay warm. Now it is raining and it will get even colder as the day goes on. Sure am glad we are not on duty today. That golf cart does not have a heater in it and the cold wind cuts right through you when you are moving.
We leave out again in one week. Heading back to Marksville. Sherri won money last time...enough to pay for the trip there and back. Hope we have the same luck this next time.
We will be back on the road in June. We are headed toward Colorado and our little hid-a-way. I was hoping to get there in May this year but with our granddaughter's high school graduation we have to wait...
