Work is Fun Out Here

Time for an update. It has been such a beautiful week. We have had sun every single day up until today. We were supposed to be getting guests today but the clouds are too low and thick. I have been busy cooking and baking everyday now. I am loving all the kitchen work...except for the early mornings of 6:30 every other morning. 

One day we took some scraps across the lake for the birds and so that we don't have to burn the food up by the horses, keeping the bears away from the horses.

Carly, Stevie and I went in the canoe to drop off the scraps. I sat in the middle on the base of the canoe and soaked up all the water. My but was very wet.

Another day we hiked up to Lookout. What a fun hike. It was kinda like the Butte, the two florida boys thought they were gonna die. It was such a nice day for the hike. We had to take some folding chairs and a table up to the top so that they could do their horse back rides up to the top with their guests for breakfast one morning. The chairs and table stay up there all summer.

 Clay built this cross for Chase and Jena's wedding. They had a helicopter bring it up to the top. On the day of the wedding Jena and the girls rode horses to the top and it started raining on them so they had to wedding in the yard instead and the cross stays up top.

Another day was spent moving kitchens. We were in the main lodge the first few days waiting for the water to start working in the Cook House, once lines un froze we moved to the Cook House, now that is a process that I will get to do at the end of the season too, but back to the Main Lodge for the winter. Once we moved over we soon found out that we had no hot water, the thermocupulator was out, I guess. So we have been boiling water for dishes at every meal and when we make more dishes. Every time you turn around someone is doing dishes. 

We also had our first staff meeting the other day. I guess I was supposed to be intimidated, but it was a piece of cake. Their family is way too much like mine for me to be intimidated by anyone. We will be having meeting once a week.

Thats my update for the week and there will be more to come in the following week. Hope all is well with every else.

I am enjoying my time here and am so blessed to be here. I love every little bit of it.
