Today Tim and Kathy told us to just do a glorified walk-through of the bathrooms (what some would call “a lick and a promise”) so that we could participate in the annual potluck. This is when as many of the staff and the seasonals as are here get together for a party. Continue reading
The campground opens in two days and three people are registered to spend this weekend here, so today Mark and I started helping with cleaning in preparation for the beginning of the season. Continue reading
Mark’s first order of business this morning was to unload his Harley from the back of the truck. I don’t believe I’ve ever talked about what goes into this process. Here’s the story in pictures: Continue reading
So many of you have written with names for the birds I posted on my blog yesterday. Here is what some of you had to say: Continue reading
This morning I had my annual physical in San Antonio, so since we were in town anyway we decided to see the first sights on my list of things to do. Continue reading
When my nephew, Nate, was young, my sister Lauryn decided to do the gift giving on New Years Eve so that the family could focus on Christ’s birth on Christmas. She figured it would be appropriate to start the New Year with new things, so the biggest family party of the year has ever since been New Years Eve with Lauryn as the hostess extraordinaire.

This afternoon as Mark and I were working on the chicken coop, big black clouds were gathering in the northwestern sky. The wind began to rock the coop. We had brittle fiberglass roofing on one side and we were beginning to lay corrugated metal on the other. Then it began to rain. We finally went to our RV and from there we could see the rain coming in sideways. I felt like singing, “Oh say can you see if our roof is still there?” Continue reading

We got the animals fed and today we did some more work on the chicken coop we’re building. The Falsters returned today. It’s sure good to have them back and in charge! Continue reading
