We arrived at Loon Lake last week where we will be spending the summer season working!! John is doing maintenance and I am cooking in the lodge. Below are some pictures of the resort and it is just as beautiful as it looks.

Summer Plans-

I noticed it has been a while since I last updated. We have been back in the bay area this spring doing our yearly doctor and dental appointments and spending time with our families. Our appts are all done we got a clean bill of health and now we will be hitting the road in a couple of days. This summer we will be working at Loon Lake Lodge in Reedsport, Oregon. We have never been to the campground but from the website it sounds wonderful. John will be doing maintenance and I will be cooking in the cafe. We will be working 32 hours a week which will give us plenty of time to do some crabbing and sightseeing. I will post pictures just as soon as we get all settled in. Hope you have a wonderful summer and if your travels take you to Oregon please look us up!!

We spent Easter weekend in Reno with my daughter, son & his family, sister & her boyfriend and her two wonderful daughters and her soon to be son in law. The Wii game was a big hit on Saturday night and of course the red bull! This will definitely be an Easter to remember!!! Thanks to all of you for a wonderful time!!! We have got to do the family vacation soon !!! LOL

Our poor little Honda CR-V had major issues and with 150,000 miles on her we decided it was time to replace rather than repair.

Another Season Begins......

We had a very successful opening day. All of our employees we had last year came back and brought their friends this year!! This makes our job much easier. John has been very busy flocking trees. He had an order to flock 12 trees on Tuesday, it takes him about 45 min from start to finish for each tree. Below are some pictures of him with his masterpieces.

John and I Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

See ya next Year!!!
